Use this free Minecraft speedrun timer to measure a complete run or practise a section. Start immediately or use the optional five-second countdown, then stop and resume or reset for another attempt.
How to use the speedrun timer
- Choose your game and category, and decide where you will start and finish timing.
- Optionally select Countdown before starting. Press Start to begin immediately or after the five-second countdown.
- Press Stop when you finish. Press Start again to resume the same time, or Reset to return to zero.
The timer measures elapsed time in your browser. It does not save results or record splits, so note your final time before resetting or leaving the page. Keep the page open during your attempt.
Timing a Minecraft speedrun
Use the stopwatch to practise an Ender Dragon run or another goal you have chosen. In a random-seed attempt, adapting to a new world is part of the challenge. A set-seed attempt uses a known world, allowing you to practise a repeatable route. Keep your edition, game version and goal consistent when comparing times.
Practise the parts of your route
- Early game: Practise gathering resources and preparing for the Nether without losing track of your route.
- Nether: Work on obtaining the materials your route needs, including blaze rods and ender pearls where applicable.
- Stronghold and End: Practise locating the stronghold, entering the End and fighting the dragon. Time complete attempts as well as individual practice sessions.
Can I use this time for a leaderboard?
This stopwatch is useful for practice and personal timing, but leaderboard rules vary by game and category. Check the community’s start and end points, timing method, version restrictions and evidence requirements before submitting. Some categories use in-game time or require video verification, so the displayed stopwatch time may not be the official result. See Speedrun.com’s guide to starting a speedrun and the rules for your chosen game.
