Minecraft is the most viewed video game in 2020, and there’s always something new around the corner.

While most Minecraft fans are excited to move onto the content that’s already announced for 2021, here’s the biggest news from this week as we close out the year!

Dream Responds to Cheating Allegations

Dream is Minecraft’s fastest rising Youtuber, but allegations have come forward that conclude Dream cheated during World Record Minecraft speedruns in a stream on Twitch.tv.

This research culminated in a 28 page research paper and summary video posted to Youtube by the Minecraft Speedrun Moderation Team.

Since these original allegations, Dream has been relatively silent on the issue - simply sending some Tweets disagreeing with the results.

Now, however, Dream has posted a response video with his own research from a hired statistician taking a better look into the situation.

In the video Dream denies cheating, and challenges plenty of the original research.
