Why not share the seed of the map? This in combination with the coordinates visible on screen would make it possible to check if there is cheating involved. It would be even better if the seed was generated and handed out by a trusted party. Do all the speed runs live and it would be quite hard to cheat.

Loot rates are not related to the world seed. The problem here was that he modified loot rate tables. The world seed only matters for the world generation.

No, it wouldn't. He is accused of cheated by messing the probabilities of Blaze drops and Piglin trading.

The map seed is not related to either.
