Minecraft Youtuber “Dream” has attempted to draw a line under his Minecraft speedrunning drama, where he was accused of cheating, according to his latest thread.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old is stepping back from any back and forth regarding the accusations, removal and rebuttal of his 1.16 Minecraft run that was taken off the leaderboards.<\/p>\n

\n

The author of my original Speedrun rebuttal has responded to the Speedrun team’s response. In summary, the author disagrees that his assessment was that far off, and assesses a 1 in 100 million number. Coming to the same conclusion that their 1 in 7.5 trillion number is off.<\/p>\n

And while Dream’s for-hire physicist has rejected the speedrunning moderator’s rebuttal of the former’s finding, Dream appears to no longer have the hunger for fighting the charges.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to argue any more about whether I cheated or not, because there’s not much I can say. I’m sure most people have formed their opinion at this point,” wrote Dream on his personal Twitter account.<\/p>\n

With the run off the boards since mid-December and both parties taking turns to mention their stats and sides of their stories, Dream understands his future submissions “will be under intense scrutiny, which is fine and expected.”<\/p>\n

Dream also reflected on his position as one of Minecraft’s biggest content creators and how his gut reaction might’ve not been the best. <\/p>\n

“…a lot of that was probably due to my original response to the drama, so I take full responsibility for that. I pride myself on representing the Minecraft YouTube community well, and I didn’t.”<\/p>\n

The accusations were made public through a published paper by the Minecraft Java speedrunning mod team<\/a> and a thorough video explaining the research<\/a> made by one of the team’s moderators, Geosquare.<\/p>\n

Both pieces of content prompted several response videos, rebuttals, Twitter threads and of course — a sea of players, followers and stans alike parting like the Red Sea.<\/p>\n
