We require more minerals
Okay so Minecraft has an ending now in the latest 1.9 prerelease so now it's time to talk about speedrunning it obviously because a minecraft speedrun would be so bizarre it has to be considered.
the boss battle by the bumbling yogscast (they cheated and spawned in the end portal you cannot do this normally)
So basically you can trigger the end of minecraft in a few steps
1: Find the Stronghold, this can be done by using some of the known world seeds that are known to have a Stronghold nearby spawn (http://minecraftonline.com/cgi-bin/strongholdfinder.sh? this may work too havent tested it yet)
2: Get to the End Portal at the end of the stronghold and complete it http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/End_Portal
3: Go to "The End" http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/The_End
4: Fight and kill the Ender Dragon http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Enderdragon
4a: You need to kill all or most of the ender crystals first http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Ender_Crystal as they will heal it
4b: You will mostly be limited to arrows but they have to hit the head or the torso
4c: There are endermen everywhere so you'll have to keep your head up or be chased by hundreds of them
4d: It has 200health T.T
5: Jump in the portal spawned under where it dies to trigger the final credit sequence
So obviously this isnt even live yet so there will be changes to the process but now we know the general goal as to what it would require to "Beat Minecraft"
You need to equip yourself well enough to be able to make it through the stronghold to find the portal and still have enough armor and equipment to take on the EnderDragon
So I guess it comes down to how can you do this quickly? Iron is easy to find and probably the best source of armor, you can get coal easily by burning wood into charcoal. What is the easiest source of good food? Finding animals seems to be luck/biome based but Bread(wheat) and watermelon only heal a small amount and require farming.
And of course fast way to get a lot of arrows will be needed as well.
World seeds are an issue, because without world seeds it could take you forever to even find the Stronghold, but if world seeds it almost becomes a battle of who finds a seed with a Stronghold nearby and a big source of farmable iron thats easy to access as well. But even then you still need to find a source of lots of arrows and fight your way through the stronghold. The room with the end portal is supposed to have a silverfish spawner so you'll have them jumping out of the walls at you and you have to finish the portal by playing ender eyes on the empty spots of the portal. So this part alone could be quite dangerous trying not to get knocked into the lava as well as the final fight being ridiculous.
Also you can supposedly take down the ender crystals with eggs as well if your aim is good which will save you on arrows but you'd probably need to trap some chickens and breed them to get any reasonable number of eggs.
Would building a monster trap for arrows while doing other things be any faster that trying to farm them "legit?"
So yeah it's going to be tough but it's gotta happen right?
