As everyone knows, villagers’ craving for beds at night and striders’ longing for lava are both incredibly intense. So intense that it makes them ignore other factors to achieve their goals. This got me thinking—what if we had them compete in a speed race to compare their levels of desire for their respective targets? Who would win? Follow along to watch this speed competition!
To ensure fairness in this speed race, I specially crafted a unique track and designed two different competition formats. The final winner will be determined by the total score!
Villagers → Beds
First up is our contestant number one—the villagers. Their motto: When night falls, it’s time to sleep!
According to the game’s mechanics, once sunset arrives, villagers will put down their work and sleep until the next morning.
And to get to sleep, they sometimes “ignore their teammates.” As long as they can reach their beloved bed, nothing else matters~ The villager who fell off: ￥@#￥@#
Striders → Lava
Next up is contestant number two—the striders. Their motto: Drink more lava! Like villagers, striders have an extraordinary craving for lava.
While other creatures avoid lava at all costs, striders are utterly obsessed with it.
Even if the narrow track below is covered with water, which hurts striders…
They still charge fearlessly toward the lava pool. I was genuinely moved by their determination.
First, let me explain the rules for the first showdown. Each side sends out one top contender. The track is made of ordinary blocks and is one block wide. Whoever reaches the opposite side first scores a point. The creature with the higher final score wins!
Both contestants are eager and ready! Let the race begin!
Let’s take a look at the first match~ The strider contestant advances steadily, but the villager contestant is unusually fast. Without a hint of hesitation, they reach the finish line directly.
Winner of this speed race: the villager!
This result was somewhat expected. The faster villager takes the first point!
The speed race is over. Next up is the second event—Capture the Flag! First, the rules: Each side sends out seven contestants. The first side to have all its members reach the opposite shore within the time limit wins.
To ensure the contestants don’t stray off the track, I “thoughtfully” placed plenty of water and magma blocks below the track. Contestants who break the rules will be punished!
Now, straight into the competition~ Several top contenders from the villager side charge ahead into the group of striders. But the strider side isn’t giving up easily either! They also launch an “assault” on the villagers’ position.
The competition is fierce! Neither villagers nor striders are backing down. Many contestants fall off the track and have to “tearfully” withdraw from the race.
As the “last hope for their side,” the remaining two striders push through, almost reaching the finish line. But the final villager forcefully shoves them aside, securing the last point for the villager team! The final score is 4:3. The villager team wins Capture the Flag!
The overall score is now 2:1. The winner of this speed competition is the villagers! Let’s congratulate the villager contestants on their championship~ Staying true to our principle of considering the contestants’ needs, our event committee prepared a prize for the villagers: one zombie!
Let the villager keep running. We hope its speed reaches even greater heights~
