Who holds the Minecraft speedrun world record in 2023?

Speedrunning is one of the most challenging and entertaining Minecraft activities, and some players in the community have performed above the rank and file. Depending on the version of the game being played, there are multiple world record holders for the fastest Survival Mode completion time in 2023.

Players worldwide are always attempting to break world records in Minecraft. However, these records differ depending on the conditions set by the competitive regulators. There are any percentage runs, any percentage glitchless runs, as well as runs for specific versions of the game.

Traditionally, update 1.16 tends to be the default that most speedrunners use, but others like to test themselves in newer versions like 1.19.

Whatever the case, there are clear-cut Minecraft speedrun record holders in 2023, even though it's early. However, some players may just come along and shatter them.
