Clipping down for die to void

This morning I was thinking about the die to void goal and decided that it would be much easier if there was a way to clip through the ground rather than using a restone and tnt setup. I searched the discord and Pythoria mentioned a glitch where players can clip down using a minecart.

I found this video which refers to this glitch

This glitch is listed as unresolved and it worked on 1.21.1 but I haven't had time to test it yet. You would be able to do this with only 1 block of space on the lowest bedrock block, making it easier than all piston and tnt setups. It can be attempted an unlimited number of times without using more resources. 11 iron is also fairly easy to obtain and convenient to overlap with many other goals.

According to the draftout rules, I believe using a glitch like this is allowed. The draftout rules follow the glitchless speedrunning rules which allow a near identical glitch under section D.1.1.t) Boat clipping, which links to this glitch which is basically the same glitch as the modern version one.

if anyone has any other ways to clip down or wants to experiment, please do that and post your results and ideas here!

i have tried it for a bit on 26.1 and couldnt get it to work, and someone else said it was patched by mojang

DuckyOP2 months ago

that's a shame. i'm planning to test it with every kind of mount and in the new update to be to be sure

I believe the same thing worked with all rideable entities in past versions, including boats which I often used myself in the past

But the boat one has since been patched so I'd assume no other entities work anymore either

do the new cushions work?

DuckyOPlast month

I have not tested it

DuckyOPlast month

Based on my testing cushion does not work in snapshot 8 (most recent one)

DuckyOPlast month

i would encourage at least 1 other person to try though my timing is kinda bad

DuckyOPlast month

Fairly confident that the clip does not work for the version draftout uses or any version after with minecart, boat or boat with chest. Still going to test with rideable mobs a some point

is it viable to send ender pearl down faster than 1 block/tick so it steps past a bedrock block and lands your head exactly at y1 ?

idk pearl launcher stuff

DuckyOPlast month

I also don't know much about pearl mechanics, but according to the minecraft wiki, getting faster than 1 block per tick is extremely easy. I think the problem is the collision detection when pearling into the ground. Clipping partially into a wall or a ceiling is common but I never see people clip into the ground with pearls

DuckyOPlast month

but I've also never seen someone try to pearl launch downward, so maybe the collision detection is worse at dealing with that situation

DuckyOPlast month

If a pearl launcher can launch a pearl down and not have the pearl collide with anything, then we know it can get a pearl through the bedrock and this concept works for sure

I might look into that

Willlast month

if the pearl goes through the bedrock into the void how will it trigger

DuckyOPlast month(edited)

It won’t. But if the pearl goes through the bedrock then it means the clip works. The only thing that would need to change is position of the setup/speed of the pearl to end up inside the bedrock
