Any% Set Seed Glitched (External) Pre 1.9

Played on 7/2/2024
A new end fight strat called Cuvoid was found by ‪@Eliotex‬ and ‪@sharpieman2035‬, which allowed me to skip the fletcher for bow and arrows and get a new PB for both SS External Pre 1.9 and SSP Pre 1.9.
Cuvoid Cycle end fight glitch explanation
How Cuvoid works to my understanding is that the dragon's target block it charges for gets reset to 0 100 0 either by save and quitting, or by unloading the dragon then reloading the dragon by manipulating the render distance. In this case save and quitting was constantly used to make sure the target block was at 0 100 0. By pillaring up to 0 97 0 which gives room for the bed, you can constantly explode the dragon with beds which means the bow and arrows are no longer necessary for this run.
Category name explanation
There are two sub-sections of set seed glitched: internal and external. External means the runner used glitches that involve exiting the world either by save and quitting to title or force quitting the game via alt+f4 or task manager. Internal means the runner utilized glitches that didn't involve exiting the world. This run is considered an external run because I used tick duping which has the runner save and quit the world at a certain tick to dupe the items.
Thoughts on the run
My previous 3:57 PB entered the end at 2:24, and my 1st PB with Cuvoid entered at 1:52. This 3:31 run entered at 1:26 with the main timesaves over the 3:51 being that I messed up dupes less, not needing to mine the crafting table, and better flint RNG. My 3:57 had a better end but skipping the fletcher more than made up for that. There was probably no way I beat my 3:57 PB without Cuvoid as that run had the fastest end fight I've ever done in a PB. Overall, I'm content with this 3:31 even though I messed up a couple of times in the end fight.
