Quotes

[When attempting Minecraft speedruns, two good pieces of advice are, firstly] for inventory management, have your entire hotbar set to keys that are easily accessible so that you can get items into your hotbar super easily and just in general do a lot of neat tricks. I'd recommend setting your GUI to the highest possible so crafting and stuff is more consistent. Also, in a crafting table always craft stuff on the right if possible for less mouse movement. For movement, maybe doing parkour maps or just running around in a vanilla world with an unlimited amount of blocks can be surprisingly fun. I think low FOV helps potentially (around or less than 90).
