Most games I play, specially sandboxes (don’t starve together, stardew valley, terraria), end up having a community guide for optimal play. I can’t seem to find one for Minecraft through google, even being as big as it is.

By optimal play/min-maxing I mean being as efficient as possible for reaching your goals in the game (for Minecraft, the two main goals despite just building/enjoying your world are beating the ender dragon + finding an elytra and completing full enchanted netherite gear. Differently from speedrunning, it’s not about saving time, routing or simply reachung the goal. It’s about playing a normal playthrough in the “best”, most optimized way.

I’m an experienced player, but a lot of times, while I’m playing, I’m wondering if what I’m doing is the most optimal way. “Should I really be digging this tunnel?” “Am I losing time building this farm?” “Couldn’t I get diamond gear faster”? “Is fishing worth spending time in”?

I really wish to become a better player, but there are some things I just can’t figure out on my own. I wish I had a resource I could look into so that I could know for sure what’s truly the best way.
