One of Minecraft's biggest youtubers Dream has been accused of cheating by the speedrunning community. Today I explain what went down and provide you with my conclusion based on my own investigation. Huge thanks to k4yfour for providing the Minecraft footage used in the run and also helping me understand more about the game. Thanks to the Minecraft speedrunners who answered some of my questions.

It sucks that this whole thing has just been ignored because he is still so popular even though he is a bad person
God Zilla
I’m late, but he was definitely talking about this video in his tweet, he just said he wasn’t referring to it to save face. I’m sure it’s the same thing he did to the mods, saying they miscalculated by MILES and made bad faith statements, but still said “it’s only an amateur mistake.” Yeah, one he claimed they made to ruin their reputation. He even blacklisted your name from his comment section, pathetic.

If people hate luck in games that much, why not make a category where this luck is removed in the files? This would make it even more skill based and makes it even more fun to speedrun. Is the game's integrity really that important to people?
Adityard Lime
If there is no luck there will be no competition very very fast
LiteThing
There is a category like that but most people like the rush they get from a good run.

You really think this is the BIGGEST cheating scandal in speedrunning history?! Cheating only by changing probabilities, and only getting 4th place because of it? Really? There have been cheating scandals WAY bigger than this. Although, maybe you mean bigger as in most impactful and popular (or infamous, in this case). If that's what you mean by "biggest," then sure, that fits.
sometf2furry777
it definitely is one of the biggest out there, not because of the fact he cheated but that he was an absolute piece of shit about it, insulting the mods and using his fans as a weapon against them

@Gaming Geckos lol give an example
Melissa Finley
Joan Ginther was a woman who won 4 scratch lottery tickets in her lifetime. The probability is comparable to Dream's maximum luck calculated, the sextillions. However, I realized there's a difference between distributed physical paper over a span of months, if not years, and a PC game's RNG over a span of less than a week. Outside of world generation, does such RNG capacity even exist in Minecraft?
Athenri
Also Joan ginther is kind of a unique situation as she was a mathematician purposefully gaming the system
Melissa Finley
@Jonah Clements Since the situation isn't of similar context, I have no scenario comparison of comparable luck happening to an individual. This and the coding anomaly leads me to believe that Dream cheated.
Jonah Clements
She won 4 scratch tickets in her lifetime. But each and every attempt in a period of 6 streams, Dream had that luck consistently. So it's not the same.
morbideddie
Yeah, the raw odds are similar but there are significant differences. The first is the number of people playing the lottery is massive, in the 100’s of millions vs the maybe 1000 active players in the mc 1.16 community. Then you have to consider that most of those players will buy more tickets than runners will do 24 hours worth of streaming. Then you have to consider that Joan likely bought thousands of tickets to get those 4 and dream only did 2 runs of streams and his second run of 6 got that level of luck. Overall the chances of getting a lottery winner with these odds is a lot more likely than Dream pulling off his run.
Adityard Lime
The luck capacity probably doesn't exist
DJ OakeyDoakey
The maths YT guy said if 10 billion humans do this speedrun every second for 100 years. It wouldn't have had Dreams luck.
grit1
Don't see how you could be on his side besides fanboyism. Even if the luck was in fact a once in a blue moon chance which while infinitesimally small has the possibility of happening, it happened over and over again. That's all you need to see. Getting that sort of luck is possible, but happening over 24 hours isn't

Jimbrial Innocent
Shame. Though I'm still not sure. Matjimatically impossible and completely impossible are different. The evidence said he cheated though. I wish I knew more about this sort of thing to form a solid opinion.
Louiepikmin3
The thing is, he didn't just get insanely lucky once or twice. He had abnormally high luck consistently throughout a total of 24 hours. If it was one insane run, I'd believe it. But the fact that it happened consistently means something is most likely wrong
Fluffy White Llama
His odds are 1 in 20 sextillion, which is so absurdly small that it's really the only evidence you need to say that he cheated. I'd recommend Stand up Maths video if you haven't watched it already since it goes into great detail about everything.
MrOvergryph
Dream posts videos featuring hacked Minecraft clients all the time. For example, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8poIHewFgTM He knew he was cheating in that speed run. He augmented the drop rates in the game, and, more importantly, he "coded it himself." He can't be trusted for legitimate speed runs if he has a history of hacking the game. His "dumb luck" in that run is actually MATHEMATICALLY IMPOSSIBLE, and for Dream to claim it was legit and "he had no idea he was playing an edited version of Minecraft" is just utter bullshit.
Demo_the _man
Honestly still fuck Dream. He gave us the goddamned Glowsquid instead of one of the cooler/more useful mobs.

@Lu_ne Yep it just sits down and dies for literally a stupid reason

And apparently the moobloom could've changed farming, which would've been such a huge change. I was team moobloom all the way, but I would've been fine with either, as long as it wasn't a mob that had little to no idea outside of things that could've been used with other items

I don't really care if dream cheats. I just like watching him prank his friends on 1 Vs 4 Hunters
Wyatt Easterly
Idk. Games are weird. Looks at dark souls 3. There is a item in it called proof of concord kept that has an abysmal drop rate. Like 3%. You need to collect 30 of them and I only had to kill 157 knights to get all 30. Thats like a 20% drop rate. No altering to my game. I know some people who have been farming that item for weeks or even months. I got super super lucky
Wyatt Easterly
@september but yeah. I know dreams odd are ridiculous and understand that. I was just sharing an experience where I had insane luck where I had a 20% drop rate on 3% drop rate item.
Wyatt Easterly
@september yes. Even with my item discovery symbol of avarice, rusted coins and the ring the drop rate is like 3%. Normally its like 1%. I know people who farmed POCK for literally weeks and with the same set up and only got like 5 of that covenant item
september
were you wearing any rings/mimic helmet that might’ve improved your odds? but this is more like if you played dark souls 11 times and got those results as an average across all those playthroughs if dream just had 1 run where he got an exceptional amount of pearl trades, no one would accuse him of cheating. the reason the odds are so low is because it happened over the course of many runs.

let me put the "luck" into perspective, Let's say there are 10 billion humans on earth, each on of them completed the sequence of 6 streams within a second, without sleeping without breaks just every single second they'd bang out these 6 streams, they'd need to do that for 100 thousand years such that one of them got a sequence of runs as lucky or luckier than dream. ok? this isn't "luck" those are astronomical odds.

@Aaron Loesch 'nobody crafts invisible pots' *well do people in speed runs have 3-4 players attempting to hunt them down?* 'Neither do you take exactly 3 boats with you to the nether just in case you need to jump 15 blocks of lava' *Well you most likely would consider it if 3 people had enchanted amour/weapons and have the intent of killing you*

The best luck in minecraft I’ve ever managed to get is 64/1,000,000,000. Or 64 in a trillion, hopefully I wrote that number of zeros right. I traded 4 ingots with 4 piglins and got 4 ender pearls each time, giving me 16 ender pearls and no other items as I only did 4 trades. The luck might be even more than I determined, as I just determined the probability of getting 2-4 ender pearls, and I got 4 each time which is an extra RNG roll which I didn’t use in my calculations as I don’t know the details. It’s crazy that dream achieved such immense luck and it seems clear that he cheated, if he didn’t then his stream was the luckiest moment in human history. It’s a real shame that Dream didn’t just admit to it and apologise. Speedrunning officially or not, he has a good YouTube career by now from his SMP and other videos, and even if he lost some fans for cheating he’d probably still he set for years and could maybe even rebuild his speedrunning trust. But looking at the way he responded, it seems like he’s gonna be in a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, quite a lot of people seem to think he didn’t cheat, partially due to youtubers who benefit from him don’t want to admit it.
Just Another Youtube Channel
Abhigyan Dutta True. If I was trying to prove something I’d need much more data.
Abhigyan Dutta
That is not the correct way though. You can't really use such a small sample size
Jake Helton
if he had changed the odds there would have been more pearls in the portal there is a 10% chance of them spawning in there and only 1 spawned and if the other odds we increased by about 15% then that men’s 1 in 4 of the pearls would have spawned meaning atleast 3 pearls would have spawned therefore he was lucky but he couldn’t have cheated because while increasing one odd you increase the rng in the rest of the game
sometf2furry777
thats literally not how it works in the slightest
Louiepikmin3
You clearly know nothing about minecraft. The number of eyes in the portal is dependant on the seed, which isn't something you can change. What you can change, however, are drop rates of different items
Adam Hennessy
You do know that the amount of eyes of ender in the portal is based off the seed itself, right?
Aaron Loesch

Dream cheated for self preservation. The anonymous report was pre meditated as he no doubt knew it would come out one day - hence why it was so full of mistakes. It was rushed, chopped together thinking that they would baffle to problem with confusion in numbers and the problem would go away. He was too concerned on getting the perfect run online - to get that title, that recognition - that when his cover blew, his explanation was torn to shreds by actual professionals. The facts here are compliant with all regulatory bodies involved. 100% sound, because the channel demands it - anyone that believes that this is legitimate RNG, is as ignorant as Dream himself for thinking ghat he would get away with it.
LENA JONES
This is just sad. At first I tried to find a way to ignore this issue, but I can´t anymore. I thought he made entertaining videos, and he is very talented, and the Dream SMP is wonderful, but he just ruined his career.

TrustedSoul
I mean, its all luck based. Odds can be low but never zero.
Dackpack
I don’t know about it being impossible, but it’s ridiculously unlikely. Are you saying that he actually got a 1/7.5 trillion chance legitimately? Even dream himself says that if the odds are 1/7.5 trillion then he definitely cheated. He only argues that the math is wrong, when it’s not. Dream mathematician calculated 1/100 million odds, and still says that that provides very strong evidence that dream cheated. Dream also says that with 1/100 mil odds that the most reasonable conclusion was that he cheated. Anyway, if you want to argue with dream and his PhD man, despite trying to be on their side, then consider this. “The odds are low but never zero” you say. There’s an old joke that “the odds of Shaquille O’Neal hunting you down are low... but never zero”. Do you ever check behind you for Shaq? No of course not, but there’s a chance. There’s also a chance that the next time you go outside a 10 mile wide meteor hits you. Again there’s a chance but do you ever even think about that. Maybe your parents are evil robot spies sent from another galaxy. There’s a chance. No one legitimately considers these things, just like no logical person considers that dream legitimately got his odds. He cheated.

His luck is impossible in the game codes.

@Omiko Lomsadze "for all intents and purposes mathematically impossible" so he didnt say the rates were mathematically impossible... whats your problem here?

To be fair, I don't think luck is really a good metric of skill... being lucky or not, or having to grind 100's of hours just to get a certain drop isn't any presentation of skill. Just patience.

The most depressing thing is that after this scandal I can no longer enjoy his Manhunt videos.
They always seemed to me a bit too conveniently entertaining, even considering they are usually cut, but I was willing to believe they weren't staged. Now, though...
The sad thing is, if Dream clearly stated that these Manhunt videos were staged to some degree, I'd still watch them.
Jellytinn Roller
I hate the fact that he tries to debunk anyone that says they're fake and then ends up getting that person sent tons of hate, and then there's all those videos about it that are something along the lines of "Dream just DESTROYED Manhunt Accusations..." even though they're obviously fake.
Riccardo Orlando
@Eiennai / I know. I wish Dream didn't have to keep claiming they are magically spontaneous. I remember watching some rando's analysis of the manhunt videos to see if they're staged, and Dream's "response" video where he "owned" the first guy. Distasteful.
Eiennai /
Of course they are, but that's no biggie, most entertainment is staged, you would need to have some god tier entertainment skills to spontaneously make amazing streams/videos every single time. Not even the best entertainers in the world can do that.
J Heil H Uerta
Plot twist: he's actually just lucky.
1 in a Million there's still 1 in that million means it's not impossible
Louiepikmin3
Even the fake odds that dream made up were 1 in 100 million. I have no idea where you got 1 in a million from
Lil Hitler
@J Heil H Uerta well dream deleted his response cause it got debunked on reddit so hard But if i say that stans will probably be scarred
Lars
Then why would he have deleted his response
Skeet Xeeter
@J Heil H Uerta Technically nothing is impossible, but that’s not a very good defense when your speed run is being investigated. There’s such a thing as “statistically impossible;” the chances aren’t 0, but it’s so incredibly unlikely that for all intents and purposes it’s impossible. Have you heard of Occam’s Razor? What’s more plausible of an answer: Dream beat a 1 in 7.5 TRILLION odds or he cheated to get a better time?

To any dream stans reading this, 1 in 20 sextillion is an astronomically low likelihood, here's an example.
Load up a fresh new Minecraft world and try to guess the seed first try. The chances of that are 1 in 18 quintillion which is almost 1 thousand times less than 20 sextillion

monke
@Quiffle_squiffl 4456 It was an assumption, If you're SO offended by it then sorry, It won't happen again, It's just that most dream stans say that same thing.
Quiffle_squiffl 4456
@monke saying he isn’t a noob or that he didn’t cheat makes me a Stan? Dream definitely faked his speedruns but he is still really good at some versions of pvp and he is insane at parkour too. Believing dream doesn’t cheat doesn’t automatically make me a stan either
Quiffle_squiffl 4456
@monke I literally said his manhunts are either fake or the hunters are noobs. I don’t stan dream at all I know his speedruns are fake
monke
@Quiffle_squiffl 4456 Okay you dreamy stan, Keep believing in the cheater like odds from 1 to 7 trillon are still possible. In game codes is impossible.
Trump Pence
@Quiffle_squiffl 4456 Ok

I've been reading the comments for over an hour now, this has been the most I've ever laughed and facepalmed. Truly one of the best and worst comment sections on youtube.

good

Either he cheated, or the game's psuedo random is not very good. There are other games where the psuedo random has problems (e.g. pity timers). I have a feeling that someone would have noticed if it is an error in the game's code.
Trump Pence
Well Dream is the only one so far to have gotten these odds
Abhigyan Dutta
Pseudo random generators of coding languages are probably written by experts which is used by game developers. So no mistakes in that one.
Jipesnl
I mean... ur claim is also misleading. He had too little pearls, which could also be a reason for getting to the portal faster (not waiting for more). However, I do still agree that his luck is abysmally rare, and that he likely cheated
Abhigyan Dutta
No. This is misleading. Although I don't watch speedruns most people probably assume 1-2 ender pearls will be there or they will find an enderman easily in the strong hold. Both of which didn't happen here, it is a calculated risk.

I really like how you actually came to a conclusion rather then just saying “Oh well in conclusion I don’t know it’s left up to interpretation and how you feel har har.” I’m so sick of analysis videos doing that to seem as safe as possible.
JEAN-PAUL RAMOS-CLAUDIO
“Hello you absolute legends. Speed running”
Thunderous clapping and cheering ensues
SmellsLikeAnvil
at least he did not cheat on *all* of his speedruns
SmellsLikeAnvil
@Leonardo Van Gogh yeah that is the bad thing
Leonardo Van Gogh
cheating isnt the problem lol, could've just apologized, but instead he maniputed his fanbase and then also weaponized them against his exposers
Re Covered
This puts a bad name on the whole community. Hopefully more cheated runs don’t come out, as this has already led a lot of people to say stuff like: I mean, most runs are fake
SmellsLikeAnvil
@Abhigyan Dutta i know and i *fully* agree with you, using the good authority to cover up bad things is bad
Abhigyan Dutta
Cheating isn't the problem. Herding his underage fans (and I pretty much know you are one, from the wording you use) is a big problem. You are not old enough to understand how bad of a thing this actually is. When you grow old and if a situation arises where you need to manipulate a child then you'll see how it jolts your conscience which dream clearly has none.
SmellsLikeAnvil
guys plz forget about it or not mention it anymore
edit: i am not a stan , i am just being frustrated because of this scandal and the previous one where drem (not dream) caught on cheating too, and i do not seriously care about it, it just pops up on me too much
The Destructive Gamer
@Lil Hitler yea, he has matured a lot and move on
Lil Hitler
Drem changed hes a pretty chill guy i talked to him on discord But stans still atacking
The Destructive Gamer
@Good Door dude this is so true
Matias Hueichao
@Arunabh Thakuria i wasn't talking just bout him, it was in general, i think i didint explain myself enough
Arunabh Thakuria
@Matias Hueichao he is completely fine right now; not enough people actually care/too many people defend him for him to actually lose anything, what are you even talking about
Comical Sans
The defense has no objections, your honor.

The thing about Speedrunning is that you don’t only need skill, but you also need luck. The bad part about it is that you’re going to have to be lucky, however, when you’re lucky, there’s always going to be somebody who doubts that you’re THAT lucky. So the difficulty about Speedrunning isn’t the luck, it’s the people who think otherwise.
Trump Pence
@morbideddie ikr
morbideddie
Let’s be honest, there’s a massive difference between the kind of luck required to get a wr run and dreams luck, they aren’t even on the same planet. If you don’t think dream cheated you simply don’t understand just how crazy his odds were.
Trump Pence
Every since the nether update people will always have suspicions about speed runs because of the new piglins. But I do think Dream cheated because his odds of those bartering trades are 59 in 20 sextillion
D3adK3V1n Catches scammers
All I care is that it wasn’t technoblade
Trump Pence
@The Destructive Gamer same
The Destructive Gamer
@Trump Pence even if techno was a speedrunner and he cheated, I'm pretty sure he would atleast admit it and come clean unlike dream
Trump Pence
He doesn’t speedrun but still a good comment
YamiJustin
Let me guess. This POS youtuber got away with it basically Scott free
The man behind the bruh moment
Yeah
Trump Pence
@YamiJustin ok
YamiJustin
@Trump Pence well I wouldn’t even consider watching him unless he fessed up that’s just me tho
Trump Pence
I’m a fan of dream not for haha he is but because I like his manhunt videos and the reason who got away with it was because of his 9 year old stans who can’t do math
Aaron Rashid
Dream here is morally wrong. While I do enjoy his content, it is hard to watch someone fake it till they make it here.
Trump Pence
@Cornysz yep
Cornysz
tbh idc about fake speedrunning, look at other dream's content (Minecraft, but ... ), it's very enjoyable to watch, even with his team like george etc. That's why his subs increase so fast.
Trump Pence
Same

hahaha benis XDDD
Minecraft speedrunning is over, the only thing Dream did "wrong" was mod his game to accommodate a level of "luck" which was extremely improbable.
Now all that is required is to mod minecraft as a corrupt speedrunner to produce the items necessary to complete certain phases of the speedrun with the most believable yet useful level of probability.
That's it, thanks to piglins in part, minecraft speedrunning in 1.16+ will always be suspicious.
hahaha benis XDDD
@ayyubstergold Great thanks for telling me and being so polite about it considering I'm not in this community, I think those should be mandatory because this is what happens when they're not.
ayyubstergold
@hahaha benis XDDD there are set seed speed runs you can watch you know.
hahaha benis XDDD
Personally I think speedrunning is just kind of silly, but people are allowed to do it as pastime, but what Dream really did which wasn't bad is highlight the fact that the more competitive you get with this, the more likely people are going to cheat. MC needs more distinct criteria for speedrunning because what this cheat run highlights is that RNG can totally fuck up a run, and if 50% of your time is determined by RNG, then where's the skill factoring in? Honestly, I get his logic, what he was trying to do was to mitigate the luck based element of minecraft speedrunning to see where his raw skills could take him. That being said, he should have given more disclosure about this instead of trying to get an "official" time. I personally think that minecraft speedrunning is a complete farce if you don't have categories based on the seed and spawn point. The luck element in speedrunning is too much in minecraft and basically can turn an excellent display of skills and turn it into a wasted effort, this I think was his logic behind trying to mitigate the RNG, but yeah, shouldn't have branded a modded run as legit.
Trump Pence
@Scottyboi SUS what did he do so wrong?
Scottyboi SUS
At least it shines light onto the possible ways one might cheat this speedrun. And his actions shouldnt be minimized
Real Ruski
I love dreams content....but he should come clean as an honest man
Trump Pence
@tasen25 i guess dream stan community is just a bunch of shit 9 year olds but the Kpop stan community in my opinion is way worse because there music sucks first of all and they are just so weird and defensive of them
tasen25 i guess
I liked dream's content before but then i quitted not only because he cheated but the entire MCYT Fandom just being idiotic and garbage it turned into those stupid Kpop Stans community, making tik toks and shipping them. This is just disgusting
just a guy
@Trump Pence and that, is why the words "overrated" & "underrated" exist.
Trump Pence
@just a guy oh I thought you were talking about his piglin drop rates. But yeah he gets like 100k subs everyday and I don’t know how he is this popular
just a guy
@Trump Pence nah I'm serious. He's just like pewdiepie, he's overrated.
LS
Imagine showing this video and trying to explain it to someone from the 1700s
Re Covered
@LS so there is this man that uses a highly powerful box filled with rubber, metal, and many colors to play a game. The game is inside the box, and he uses a picture frame that’s painting changes 60 times a second to see the game. The game can be beaten just like a joust, but you have to defeat a dragon instead of another fighter. The man saves every painting inside of his box to take and put onto another place called twitch. The man tries to beat the game as fast as possible by starting a game, collecting beds that are in the game, going to the game’s version of hell to collect eyes of dead monsters by trading with gold obsessed human-like pigs, leaving hell, and going to another place called “the end” where the dragon resides. Beds will blow up in the end, so the man puts beds down near the dragon to explode the dragon. That is the end of the game, but somewhere along the line the man cheated. He went inside his box to change the game to give him better luck trading with the gold obsessed human-like pigs. The pigs don’t understand you when you say “give me monster eyes”, so you have to trade gold until you get eyes. People noticed that the guy got a lot of luck trading with the gold obsessed human-like pigs. They told him to stop in another place called Twitter, but he wouldn’t admit it.
LS
@Abhigyan Dutta nah i was more talking about the video game/speed run/youtube part but thats interesting to know
Abhigyan Dutta
If you are talking about the probability part, ironically the maths behind this was developed in 17-1800s by correspondence between 2 very well known mathematicians applied to gambling.
Trump Pence
Lmao
Art Nugget
so ive stayed away from this topic for a long time because i simply didnt care, but i finally caved in and watched a video on this. And you know what? I still dont care. I know everyone is making it a really big deal, and its a huge argument among his fans, but i kinda wish people didnt care that much y'know? Like yeah, cheating a speedrun and then submitting it isn't something you're supposed to do, thats bad, and i understand that people can feel hurt by this. But it feels like a lot of people are overreacting. Especially those who start hating dream or try to cancel him and all that. Like so what? He's still good at the game, he's still a good person, he's still entertaining. I sorta understand that it is a big deal in the speedrunnning community, but i wish so many of his fans didn't get so freaking upset, and completely change the way they look at him. I'm not saying this to try to start anything, but i wanted to express that i think people online tend to overreact sometimes and its exhausting.
Trump Pence
@Vinegar I like him but I think he’s a lil scum bag for manipulating his fansbase
Vinegar
To be honest, I've just never liked him, always gave off a bad vibe, you know. I get some satisfaction from feeling somewhat vindicated here.
Trump Pence
@Lil Hitler lmao
monke
@Art Nugget I definitely agree, I don't care about dream's manhunts or speedruns, All i watch is the dream smp videos where either tommy, quackity or bbh appear, I don't get bothered if dream is there too.
Lil Hitler
@Trump Pence he manipulated fans his response got debunked on reddit
lousysmashbros
lol, he deleted his video
morrow
yeah it's private now, lol
lousysmashbros
@Re Covered yeah, but he never said he would delete is response video, lol
Re Covered
I think I heard something about in a deleted Twitter reply he confirmed he was guilty
Dhehehryr rirurururut
"Im innocent"
