I'll do a test run locally when the update becomes available.

I'm voting no for reboot no matter what the biome changes do.

This is what region 0,0 looks like. Fortunately, it's squarely over the spawn area! This is what the above area plus one region in each direction looks like. This encompasses everyone's homes with the one notable exception of the village to the far south-west. Would you guys be OK with this being the trimmed world and having the (possible) Cliffs of Jeb surround this area? The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Hells yeah. If we can secure the current world for another point upgrade I'd feel a lot more comfortable starting on something somewhat big. I'm a little gun-shy as it is now. Plus, you know I'm always up for a pre-trim desert raping.
If stained glass actually happens in the next update it will be the squee heard round the MC 'verse. Question about trimming: If you trim the overworld does the Nether get trimmed as well? Wondering if it'll leave the village Nether portal and we could just re-light it (not that the village would still be there, but it would be a quicker way to get to some newer areas of the map). So it goes. |

Pick a desert outside of the protected zone, and go nuts!
Nope. The nether is stored in a different set of files. We could nuke the nether independently of the rest of the world if we wanted. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

How much time do we have to harvest sand before you trim?

Nobody knows when the 1.7 release will drop or if this change is really part of it. The supposed terrain changes haven't even made it into a weekly sneaky peek build yet. Maybe end of August? Next month?

I've split these posts into a new thread from the 1.6 discussion since it's clear there are lots of 1.7 changes in the works.
Jeb just posted to the blog some juicy details: https://mojang.com/2013/08/minecraft...erator-update/ Here's the most interesting part of the post: Quote:

No, just the latest snapshot.
This looks to be one of the biggest updates ever. Loads and loads of new stuff. Exciting. |

Another snapshot dropped today with some minor tweaks, so it looks like 1.7 is getting close...
Have we decided on whether we're wiping the Nether when we do the trim? I may knock a fortress wall down if so to grab some NetherBrick. Cooking NetherRack to make it is painfully slow. I guess a plus to wiping the Nether would be a regen of fortresses. They seem to be the best place to find horse armor in quantity. So it goes. |

Boy oh boy. I took the latest snapshot for a spin tonight, and the updated terrain/biome generation is nice. Maybe it's just another honeymoon phase, but it feels a bit more like the pre-1.8beta generation, like it's less cookie-cutter predictable within a biome. The improved biome juxtaposition and transitions help the world feel more cohesive too.
In fact, it's really tempting to say, "Let's start anew again!", and it makes me want to test cross-world copy/pasting so I could transplant our existing homes into a truly new world. Maybe. Maybe? If we insist on staying in the current world, though, here's what the Cliffs of Jeb will look like if we stick to the area I posted earlier. Southern border, new terrain on the left: Southwest corner: Northwest corner: Northern border, new terrain on the left: Northeast corner: Southeast corner: Bonus round! To the ESE, just outside the edge of our existing terrain, I found a candidate for Flaming Mountain v2.0: The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

I'd be fine with a reboot, but I haven't done much with this current world.

As usual, I haven't done so much with the current world that I'd miss it all that much if we had to bid it farewell. It would be nice if we could transport stuff over from past maps, though, if we took that route.

I'm fine with the edges, honestly. I'd rather not do a whole new world and stick with the regen beyond the 9 quadrants mentioned above. Besides, I think the edges are kind've fun. Like, sailing to the end of the world and afraid to fall off the edge, but opposite. Could make for some neat builds too, especially on the NE corner. I could see a large dock there for boats and stairways going up the edges.
Also, that last pic is gorgeous. I'm super excited to put together some exploring parties to see what we have for new biomes. So it goes. |

We don't have to wipe the world. I'm just throwing it there as an option because we'll probably scatter out when 1.7 drops, and we'll lose any sense of a cohesive, central community area as a result. The old "town" will still be there, but who will stay around when there are interesting new areas to explore in the distance?
Keep in mind that the region we're keeping inside the Cliffs of Jeb is a whopping 1536x1536 blocks. Based on the timestamps in my screenshots, it took me about one full hour to circumnavigate the edges, and that includes using a horse and boats to move swiftly. So, people will likely spread out 1000+ blocks in different directions and rarely see each other, kind of like what happened when we last used the "large biomes" setting. I could be wrong, though!

I hate the way everybody runs out to the edges and disappears.
Why they gotta do that? (but I love the screenshots) ... |

Yeah, the spreading out is a problem, but I think we're going to have that problem even if we start the world anew, what with all the fancy new biomes and all.
Believe me, I'm tempted myself to start the world fresh, but I'd hate for the work (and loot gathering) we've done in the current world to be lost. Since we're running vanilla, would it be possible to do a world overlap for like a month or so? Just so people could move what they needed most to the new world? Also, what's the word on structure-moving? 1.8 looks like it could be a seed that lasts a while, so it would be nice to start up a fresh world, but it would be keen if we could move over some of the downtown and larger structures over to keep a home base going. So it goes. |

I wouldn't insist on wiping the world if I wasn't sure that we could migrate some of our things over. The space needle, iJak's farm, the money bin, etc. won't be lost. I'm also testing copying over structures from *older* worlds as we'd discussed in that other thread. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Ah, bukkit. That's right. That's what I was talking about with 'world overlap' and the /wwarp thing.
Question about iJak's farm: If you copy it over will the beasts come over as well? Err, just thought of another thing... does our bank account get wiped as well? I hope we can move the mart over (hell, that whole strip). That thing is key. So it goes. |
