"Find a category you like and do it," Admiral continues. "Find new strategies, try new things, and if it turns out that you get a world record that's fantastic!"
If this sounds like something you would enjoy, give it a try. One thing that everyone was unanimous about was that the community was awesome. It's the one thing they have in common with all the builders I have to ask questions to - it's the players that make Minecraft regardless of how you play it, fun.
If you'd like to be one of them, check out the minecraft forum on speedrun.com. There you can find the official leaderboards, as well as videos, tutorials and tons of resources to assist you in your journey. Get ready...
...Go!
