When the drama first started I cared more about defending myself and being right, then about figuring out what was actually going on and I shot myself in the foot by doing it.”Īccording to dream, the upped drop rates were the result of an old mod he’d commissioned. “This was a couple months ago at this point I believe. “When I realized this, I felt an extreme sense of guilt and I took down my response video not believing in what I said in the video at all anymore,” he said in his response. "This potentially could have been a problem," dream said, but he qualified it by saying he didn't know and didn't appear to think it was as severe an offense as the moderator’s did. Now, months later, dream has admitted he used a custom designed mod to up drop rates in the six videos the moderators had analyzed. The speedrun moderators published a rebuttal to the rebuttal, declaring the astrophysicist's math to be shit. The final report comes in at 19 pages and contains even more discussions about statistics about Ender Pearls, Blaze Rods, and other Minecraft associated minutia. dream said he deleted the folder in a fit of pique.ĭream said he hired an anonymous astrophysicist through a consulting website to construct a rebuttal.

The mods asked to see his mods folder, which would contain proof of his innocence. According to the mods, the drop rate on some of the rare items needed to finish Minecraft were unprecedented.ĭream felt the mods were targeting him because of his popularity and ranted about the process on Twitter. The moderators overseeing Minecraft rejected dream’s run after studying footage of dream’s various livestreams. A group of volunteer moderators on the website monitor and verify attempts. At the time, it was the fifth fastest run on record in its category. In October 2020, dream submitted a speedrun for the 1.16 version of Minecraft. As a baseline though, all speedrun attempts must be submitted with unaltered footage of the entire run. The rules differ greatly from game to game and even-as in Minecraft-between different versions of the game. Each game has its own set of rules that make it an official run and the community polices itself. In a speedrun, someone tries to beat a video game as quickly as possible.
His most popular video is a speedrun finale that’s racked up more than 80 million views. His audience loves him and his popularity is built around Minecraft and his most watched videos are speedruns. His channel has almost 23 million subscribers. Soon after, suspicions arose concerning the streamed 1.16 runs, which all had improbably good numbers for Ender Pearl and Blaze Rod drops, suggesting that Dream had been cheating.“I ended up finding out that I HAD actually been using a disallowed modification during ~6 of my live streams on Twitch,” dream said in his post.ĭream is a massive YouTube and Minecraft star. After speedrunning Minecraft 1.16 for about a week, Dream managed to get a time of 19 minutes, reaching his goal of a time under 25 minutes, and immediately started trying for a new record on Minecraft 1.15.
In it, Dream explains that he was accused of cheating during a Minecraft speedrun by moderators of the official Minecraft speedrunning leaderboard-and, more importantly, he also explains why. It appears that Dream did cheat during a speedrun-by accident.Įarlier today, Dream posted a lengthy essay about the speedrunning controversy to Pastebin and linked it on his official Twitter. One major Minecraftspeedrunning team has been in conflict with YouTuber Dream since last year, and now their concerns appear to have finally proven correct. Minecraft is a game where players are free to make their own decisions and play however they wish, which can cause problems when personal mod settings come into conflict with more restrictive gaming formats.
