Players can build things that are fantastic and intricate with redstone, dominate other players in PvP combat, or complete the game quickly and reach the top of the speedrunning leaderboards.

It's difficult to say if one player is better than other when they are superior at different aspects of the game. However, the players who are fantastic at what they do in-game can still be spotlighted.
