5 fastest speedrunning records in Minecraft Java Edition as of August 2021

Minecraft is a game that can be completed very quickly. But as there are numerous things to do, most players do not focus much on finishing the game. A significant part of the Minecraft community loves to speedrun the game. Speedrunning means completing the game's main objective as fast as possible.

To finish Minecraft, players need to defeat the Ender dragon, a boss mob that rules the end dimensions. Defeating the Ender dragon is challenging as it has two-hundred health points. It can deal up to 7 health points of damage in one hit when the game difficulty is set to hard.
