  • Only terrestrial journeys (walking, swimming, etc) are acknowledged.
  • Utilizing the Nether to recover from a crash during an Overworld journey is legal.
  • Any in-game difficulty is allowed.

  • Footage/screenshots of every 10% milestone
  • Constantly show coordinates (must be readable) OR 90% raw footage (minimum of 240p at 1fps)

If your journey meets the above requirements then it is guaranteed to be accepted as legitimate. However, journeys which do not meet the requirements exactly are not necessarily disqualified from verification.
