So watching Karl Jobst’s video was incredibly interesting. Let’s be clear, this writer has no serious knowledge of Minecraft either. People who lack serious knowledge of how Minecraft works were condemning Dream for cheating. Instead, it was based on his personality and character. One of the big things that perhaps led to Jobst doing his investigation was that people weren’t claiming Dream was cheating based on facts. The fact that was lies upon lies upon lies, and even when he admitted to cheating, he claimed he didn’t know, it was viewed as just another lie. Karl Jobst did an excellent job of tying up the loose ends of this situation, offered as much as he could in the way of facts.

whole situation was definitely a huge learning and reflecting experience for me. criticizes me for things I deserve criticism for and criticizes others for the same. He just wanted people to have as much information as possible.ĭream had a very positive response to the video as well: Jobst pointed out on Twitter that he’s not trying to make anyone believing anything. Jobst doesn’t really side with Dream in the video, but he constructed a sound argument. Perhaps the most interesting part is the revelation that Dream contacted an Astrophysicist to attempt to back up his claims of not cheating. Karl Jobst, a speedrun content creator produced a video that runs a bit over an hour and is incredibly in-depth on the situation. So Dream admitted to the Minecraft speedrun cheating, in a roundabout way. He apologized for “dragging them through the mud,” and claimed when he realized he cheated, there was an extreme sense of guilt. Sadly, the Pastebin Dream originally posted has since been deleted. excellent journalism- dream June 30, 2021 People would still accuse him of being too lucky maybe, but it would not have faced that same scrutiny by the speedrun moderators. If this wasn’t a run being submitted on, it likely would have faced less scrutiny. The problem lies in that he cheated, lied about it, denied it, threw accusations around, and finally admitted to it – sort of. The problem isn’t that he cheated, in the eyes of this viewer. Heck, there were people that simulated the run, and after literal billions of runs, that same luck wasn’t replicated. It’s genuinely unfortunate that there were so many young, impressionable viewers taken in by how good Dream was during this Minecraft run. Any speedrun can be subject to scrutiny, especially when it appears someone was unrealistically lucky.

Then there came accusations from Dream that the investigation was flawed, and that the mod team was threatening to leave over it, but Geosquared, one of the mods went on record to say this wasn’t true. There’s no proof at this point, but the Speedrun team believes Dream is modifying the game in some way. For these trades, there is a 1 in 177 billion chance of getting as many successful trades as Dream did (42 out of 262 times).įor the mob drop rates in his streams, there was a 1 in 113 billion chance of these things occurring. You need two items to get to the end of Minecraft, and trading with Piglins is arguably the fastest way to get one of them. The problem is the triggers and item drops Dream needed for this specific situation are bordering on impossible. That’s just how the internet works though!” “Sad to see people jumping on the hate wagon before hearing any opposing view point. At this point, Dream was outright denying any claims of cheating, and went on Twitter to say: These are people studying maths and science and are more or less experts when it comes to Minecraft numbers. It did take into account potential bias, also. It also came with a 29-page paper, that had graphs and more. A great deal of high-level math was done to prove that Dream cheated in his speedrun. The target? Dream’s 5th place run earlier in the year.

Back in December, the Minecraft team for Speedrun posted a video that went over a two-month investigation. is responsible for a variety of categories of speedrunners and the runners in those game categories.
