Popular "Minecraft" streamer Dream has recently been involved in a cheating speedrun. However, despite several allegations about his feat, the YouTuber admitted that he did it accidentally.
The famed speedrunner has previously achieved goals involving "Minecraft Manhunt" which created a lot of his fanbase all over the gaming community.
The sensational issue in his speedrun suggested that he has received help from a mod--which points out that he has no idea of what's happening during the trial. Unfortunately, it is still counted as an illegitimate speed run in the game.
Dream's Controversial 19-Minute 'Minecraft' Speedrun
"Minecraft" player Dream explains what happened in the speedrun.
According to The Gamer, Dream stated there were increased pearl drop rates operated by a mod during the speed run. The said pear drop is an important component in the speedrun hack which is usually applied during the casual gameplay before the "Minecraft v.1.16" update appeared.
The fiasco started in 2020 and that was the year when Dream accomplished an unbelievable "Minecraft" speedrun in just 19 minutes. The fans have lauded his effort in reaching the leaderboard ladder globally at the fifth spot below the most prestigious names in "Minecraft."
However, others have started to investigate whether Dream really did a legitimate run for his speed run. Others grew suspicious about the YouTuber's accolade to the point that they have questioned the trick behind his quick completion.
For "Minecraft" fans, doing a speedrun is a free trial to a pulsating escape to the game since it wholly depends on luck if you would obtain the rare items such Dream's luck, Blaze Rods, or Ender Pearls. However, the equipment that he acquired became fishy when the players found out that they were high in numbers.

Since then, Dream has been aware that he has successfully finished the run without cheating. Despite his protests, the game was spotted to have traces of cheating--that's why his record was removed from him.
At first, Dream said that he did not violate any rules in the game, but when a time came that he sought help from a legitimate statistician, his speedrun triumph was left suspicious.
The expert showed the math for the speedrun moderator and noticed that there was a loophole. Apparently, this made Dream confess that what he did was a mistake on his part.
In his Twitter post, Dream recognized that the error on his speedrun is unknowingly allowing the mod to tamper the number of the Blaze Rods and Ender Pearls during the challenge.
He clarified that he did not cheat because he was not aware of the modification in the first place. Yet, he confessed about the speedrun issue involving the mod developer.
Dream Issues an Apology to All People That He Let Down
According to Screenrant, Dream has acknowledged the unfair treatment that the moderators gave to him. He said that he felt "terrible" for the people behind the mod because they pulled him to the ground despite always aiming for a fair challenge. The leaderboards have kicked him out after the controversial "Minecraft" speedrun.
If there are bashers who keep on criticizing Dream, there are still supporters who believe in him. Since he admitted that he only accidentally committed a violation, others became forgiving to the streamer.
The year-long struggle for Dream is now finished. He has finally put the nail on the coffin to end this controversy once and for all.
