Dream: Jumping. One of the most important parts of Minecraft. Whether you're jumping into the end portal to try and beat the game, or you're just jumping up a hill. You've probably pressed your spacebar quite a few times. You may have pressed your spacebar to start playing this video. And pretty much every single person who has ever owned a Minecraft account has heard of parkour. *cut* Parkour is one of those... games, I guess, that have been around since essentially the beginning of Minecraft. You jump from one block to another. There's many different types of parkour, whether it's a ladder parkour or fence parkour. But basically the simplest part of parkour, or jumping in general *cut* in Minecraft, is how far you can jump. Or... is it? How far can you actually jump in Minecraft? Without help, without speed, without ice, no tricks. Just running, and then jumping from one block to another, horizontally. I know what you're probably thinking right now: "Duh, it's four blocks. I-I know that. I've played Minecraft for a long time, or I even I just bought Minecraft and it's four blocks. I play parkour. Everybody talks about the quad-jump; the four block jump. The longest jump in Minecraft." And I searched the Internet, and everybody pretty much seems to agree. Literally everywhere it says 'four blocks'. *cut* Reddit, *cut* Minecraft forums, *cut* even Stack Overflow, which is for developers. *cut* Sam!

Sam: Yeah?

Dream: How many blocks can you jump in Minecraft? How far can you jump if - no- no help, you're just sprinting?

Sam: Four blocks.

Dream: Four?

Sam: Four.

Dream: [Are] You sure?

Sam: Positive. *cut*

Dream: But, what if I told you it wasn't? What if I told you that it's actually five blocks? You may have played Minecraft for years, just like me, and be thinking right now, "There is absolutely no way this is true." But, there is. I'm not lying to you. *cut* One of my favourite Minecraft servers is a parkour server, and it's actually one of the only parkour-centered servers out there that's left. *cut* They have over one thousand custom parkour maps and they're all built by the community and also rated from easy to insane, meaning they actually have a map creator on the server that anyone can use to create a parkour map, test all of your jumps, and then if it's proved, it becomes a map. You can use challenge mode to time yourself, *cut* use the command /parkourlog to see the world record times and your best times *cut* and there's even giant parkour maps called "champion maps" that give you huge rewards. Now, I don't really have a problem promoting them because I parkour *cut* there literally everyday, so if you wanna check them out, *cut* the IP is parkour.manacube.net. But, the reason I'm bringing the server up, is because even most of the players on that *cut* server didn't know that a five-block jump was possible. And that server is all about parkour. *cut* Well, I mean, they have the dropper too, but- *cut* it's mostly about parkour. *cut* I thought I'd bring it up to my friend, BadBoyHalo - you guys might know him, and I'd see if he actually believes what I'm saying, cause I brought up the smidge accounts last time, and he did not know what I was talking about. *cut*

BadBoyHalo: *Laughing, or making a noise*

Dream: All right, Bad, so I brought you here to set the scene, okay?

BadBoyHalo: Okay.

Dream: And the scene is for the next unsolved mystery I'm doing, which is the Unsolved mystery of the Longest jump in Minecraft.

BadBoyHalo: Uhhh, okay.

Dream: Okay, so, how long can you jump if you have no shenanigans, there's- you have no ice underneath you, nothing like that.

BadBoyHalo: Speed?

Dream: No speed, *cut* nothing like that at all, no tricks, anything, just straight up running-

BadBoyHalo: Uh...

Dream: - and jumping, how far can you jump horizontally.

BadBoyHalo: I'm 90% sure it's what- four blocks? *cut*

Dream: Four blocks. And if your 10% goes to where?

BadBoyHalo: Uh... What do you mean? 10% what?

Dream: You said 90% sure it's a four blocks, so what else could it possibly be-

BadBoyHalo: It is four blocks.

Dream: It's four blocks? Are you sure?

BadBoyHalo: Yeah, everybody knows this, the longest jump you can do is four blocks. *cut*

Dream: What if I told you... it's five blocks. (BadBoyHalo: You're trying to- your trying to- hold on)

BadBoyHalo: No?

Dream: Yes, it's five blocks.

BadBoyHalo: It's not. It can't be five blocks.

Dream:
