So recently I watched a YouTuber beat Minecraft without taking any damage, and as someone who loves doing hard stuff in video games, I wanted to try this challenge myself. A few days ago, I managed to pull off this run much sooner than I’d expected, but unfortunately I didn’t have a full recording of the attempt. Yesterday, I was able to accomplish this again on recording, and did it with no shield this time to make things a bit harder. The first run felt incredibly difficult, but that’s probably because I’d been improvising strategies on the spot. Once I learned how to tackle everything, this challenge became significantly easier; it only took me a few more attempts before I was able to accomplish this a second time. Regardless, I’m still proud of this achievement and consider it noteworthy enough for a public upload.

Here’s a quick rundown of all the strategies I used, in case anyone watching wants to try this for themselves:
- Get a bed immediately and sleep through every night
- Find a village as soon as possible; trade sticks/wheat for emeralds, trade emeralds for bow/arrows/enchanted books
- Enchanted books are optional, but Looting and Power can speed things up a lot; if you go for these enchants, you’ll need to mine a lot of extra iron for an anvil
- Avoid open caves at all costs; underwater caves are the safest way to get ores
- Mine at least 3 diamonds for a pickaxe; you’ll want to bring an extra 10 obsidian to the Nether for a return portal
- Bastions and piglin trading in general should be avoided (unless you find a bastion with easily accessible gold like I did)
- The safest way to get blaze rods is to tunnel underneath the spawner and make a pit for blazes to fall in; note that this method is extremely slow, and unless you have Looting it can take upwards of an hour to get all the rods you need
- Warped forests are the best place to farm pearls, although villager trading is another option if you’d rather play it safe
- You can walk through the stronghold as long as you’re careful, but tunneling above the portal room is the easiest way to avoid silverfish
- Wearing a carved pumpkin in the End means you won’t have to worry about endermen; use F1 to make the mask effect disappear
