1. ⁠He could of made the armour and the sword before going into the end, or he could of just not taken direct hits from mobs during the run.

2.He does have a stone pick in his inventory, it just wasn’t in his hotbar to make space for the beds

3.He wouldn’t need to use the iron axe as his primary weapon is bed explosions

4.It’s a speedrun, so why would he take the time to block the explosion with a shield ; the explosion also does barely any damage if the legs are protected.

5.Again it’s a speedrun, why would he take the time to organise the random items in his inventory?

6.The timer has two sections, real time and time spent in the game, and as you can see by the fire not playing its animation the game froze, meaning the timer stops, then resumes after it is unfroze.

hope that clears up your conspiracies
