I asked some friends in my discord
server what jumps they think are the hardest,
and i got pretty much the same three answers from everybody.
one:
neos
two: four block jumps
and three: everything. so in this video i'm going to
be explaining those three things!
all right let's hop into it with
something real good:
a consistent four block jump setup that requires
no momentum(!)
absolutely stunning! isn't it? it's reaaaaal
easy and does not require any
particularly good timing.
you want to know the trick?
all right i'll show you,
but just because you asked nicely
for this trick we're going to need to
know a little
bit of a technical move and yes there is
such a thing in minecraft parkour
this is something you've probably never
heard of nobody really calls it by its
name
but they're gonna be using this
occasionally so this move is called
a jam and it's really simple
you jam down your forward and space
key at the same time like that
a little tiny hop and this is what we
use at the beginning so
first you jam while walking
it's important that you do not sprint
you just
walk the next part is going to require
that you use a button to sprint
and don't double tap you can't double
tap
in midair i'm double tapping in midair-
not sprinting. and for this one you need
to activate your sprint
while you're in the air unfortunately
you can't use toggle sprint either. for
those of you who don't know
toggle sprint is actually a great tool!
it's under accessibility settings- and then you
change your sprint to toggle.
but for this one we're going to need to
have it set to hold, and we're going to
need to have it bound to the key of your
choice.
if you've got tiny little baby hands and
control is too far away, a lot of people
use shift and some people even use
R. Onwards with the setup!
shift to the
edge of the block
look straight ahead jam W and space
forward and
almost as soon as you're in the air, hold
down your sprint key
bam just like that you've made the jump!
you line yourself
up do the jump and
as soon as you're in the air very
relatively quickly at least
you hold down control or your sprint key
of choice of course
one more time it's amazing it's super
consistent
as long as you do press control on time
if you're late with control
you'll often fall short and if you're
early with control
you'll just leap to your doom so anyway
that's my best trick that i have for
four block jumps hopefully you'll
struggle a little less with them
give that a shot and let me know if it
helps you in the comments one more trick
for four block jumps and really all
jumps is
to look at the block you're jumping off
of looking down
like this lets you actually confirm that
you are
going to make the jump and that you are
landing on the correct part of the block
anyway on to the next thing that people
have trouble with i mentioned a moment
ago that there are
more than one of these parkour tricks
like the jam
that you must master if you want to do
difficult jumps
that's right i'm talking about head
hitter timing oh
yeah boys let's check it out so people
call this head hitter timing or
hh for short and it's very similar to
the jam
the difference is that instead of
pressing the buttons at the same time
that will obviously get you nowhere you
press w
or your forward key exactly one
minecraft tick before it
or almost at the same time but not quite
it even works when you've got something
like a trapdoor over your head now this
is a very tight jump
but with head header timing it's
literally the same there is no
difference if you do it with this method
now what exactly am i doing with my
my keyboard and my left hand well i'll
explain it
similarly to how you slam down with both
fingers at the same time to do a jam
like so this one you do the same thing
but with a slight
offset you do you do the w key
just a fraction of a second before
like that you hear can you hear my
keyboard do you hear the difference
that's a head hitter timing that's a jam
if you're a beginner
i would actually recommend slamming your
keyboard
like use some force don't be afraid
you'll be able to do it softer once
you've practiced more but at the
beginning
just go to town within reason so to
reiterate
shift to the front of the block this is
important shift to the very front
and then w in space in very very quick
succession
like so so much quicker than you're even
thinking
one thing that this kind of timing will
not do is
this kind of jump where there's either a
trapdoor or a
ladder that you're jumping out from
because this requires
speed you have to be already running to
make it out from under these so with
these
you just have to time it look down at
the block know where you are
and jump at the last possible moment but
if you attempt head hitter timing on
this
it's just it's you're gonna hit the top
you're you're just gonna hit this thing
this timing is useful for more than just
head hitters actually which is why i
think the name is a bit misleading
i wouldn't necessarily call it that i'd
call it something like
uh the timing that you do when you're
standing at the very edge of a block and
you need to get a good amount of speed
to clear a good gap
but you don't have any room to you know
what maybe that's not a good name let's
uh let's move on
one quick tip legitimoose quick tip! go!
in
versions 1.15 and higher
the latter meta is different do not
shift onto a ladder in 1.15 or higher
it is better to hold space the jump key
so let's try that behold you can hold
space
and move a good distance away from the
ladder and as long as you are
within the ladder block you will you
will be going up
you can just blindly hold space and
charge at it it's easy
it actually makes it pretty trivial
because instead of having to hit the
front of the ladder
you can just hit anywhere in the block
that the ladder fills up you're like
it's like aiming for a block of water
alright so that's the head hitter timing
done and done
that's a useful trick all right next up
we're gonna learn about the neos but
before we get to the neos remember to
hmm what did you think i was about to
say there what did you think
what words did you predict were about to
come out of my mouth in that moment
i think you know the answer if you'd
like to do that
you may but i'm not going to say what it
is because i know you know
you heard me start talking i went into
the youtuber voice
anyway on to neos let's do some neos
lads
actually before we do neos i'd like to
show you one thing that you do not want
to be doing
a lot of people when they first go into
neos take it on like their sonic the
gosh darn hedgehog
they're just sprinting at it and leap
they take a leap of faith and they're
like
i can do it if i hold the strafe key
hard enough i will make it around the
block
and this is a valid technique it can be
done
it is much much easier to
thoughtfully carefully approach the
block
position yourself at your preferred
distance
and then make the jump quickly and
gracefully
how do i like to do it these guys are a
little bit more subjective because
they're not actually as difficult as you
think
i shift up to the very edge of the block
and then
i like to jump a little past the center
of the block so if the center is here
i may be back here and then
i i will do a light jam a little bit of
that old space and w at exactly the same
time
action and if it's a little bit off if
you head hitter by mistake
it will still work but if you're
wondering about the timing that's pretty
much what it is
so as for where you do want to look just
look at where i'm looking see i'm
looking down so i can kind of see the
blocks below me
i'm looking to the side so that i don't
collide with this
you never jump from right up against it
because obviously you're gonna hit it
and there's a trade-off there's a
trade-off there the further you are
from the block you're jumping around the
harder it is to hit the block
but the easier it is to miss the jump
entirely
neos are all about the turn you gotta
you gotta go off and then you turn your
camera raw strafing
is barely enough you could probably do
it with a one block neo
but turning your camera slightly inwards
is essential try and make a nice even
curve jump off the edge while holding
sprint
do not double tap but i would i would
really recommend either using toggle
sprint
or using a button held down to sprint so
some
some questions that i could see coming
up am i holding the strafe key yes i'm
jumping and i'm holding a
i am walking into the wall and now
it's time the ultimate the most
challenging jump that we are going to
cover in this video
the double neo if you just want to sonic
the hedgehog this bad boy get as much
momentum as you can
and just yolo it power to you
it'll work sometimes occasionally it can
be done
i do have some tricks for when you have
no momentum double neos but if you can
get momentum
do it's possible when you have a good
amount of momentum
and some good room it's just like a one
block neo but
it's tighter now how about the infamous
two block
neo no momentum you're not getting a
running start on these bad boys
you settle down in here and you gotta
make this jump
well there is actually one surprisingly
effective tip that i have for you which
is
head hitter timing if i do the old w in
space that i explained earlier in the
video
you will get significantly more distance
than you would with a
jam so to reiterate i prefer to jam
to get around one block neos with no
momentum but for two
you're pretty much required to do head
hitter timing get up close to the block
and look
straighter than you normally would
almost like you're just doing a regular
three block jump
almost like i'm jumping to a block here
and then i just
turn into it and of course the final
trick i've got to show you is that when
you're jumping off something
if you want to fit into a small space
just hold shift in 1.15 plus
shift makes your hitbox shorter isn't
that amazing
isn't that just the coolest thing ever
anyway i hope you enjoyed this video
thank you for watching all the way to
the end
you
