If you can find that area!

I had an epic haul of stuff in a cave I'd tunnelled out. Was right proud I was. Decided to build some things which required coal to put in my furnace. Coal which I didn't have. Went looking for said coal and ended up digging the Minecraft equivalent of the channel tunnel through the world. Found lava. Got killed by something (not the lava). Now I can't find my cave.

:(

( Although the fact that signs don't stack in the inventory does mean I don't use them anywhere near as much as I should, which often means I'm too worried to go proper exploring in case I get lost. :( )

If you land in 2+ water, you don't get damaged.

So either create a small pond, or be next to water, then just keep jumping and stacking underneath you, then jump off into the water.

You can then go back and place ladders, if you want to climb up/down again.

Though for a simple beacon, you don't really need to do that, I guess.

(I have a plan to have a monorail network between my beacons, hence ladders=useful)

PB - is it likely that you'd run out of raw materials before you build whatever you'd want? Or am I just being silly?

 

edit: quite tempted to set up a server for this somewhere.. Does it stay consistent if you start/stop it, or does it re-initialise everytime you restart it?

Ohh, signs and ladders. Yes, good plan.

If you do a server can I have a go on it? I'm a bit lonely at the moment :(

As Jon says, the world expands as you explore. Not sure it's infinite, but it's certainly big enough that I'd not worry.

Worst case, cheat and use an inventory hack to give yourself stuff.

The server will continue from where you where - though I'm not sure if it needs a manual save before stopping (I did because I'm paranoid like that).

There's an accelerated time animation on youtube of someone flying over terrain for like a month or something.

I've seen something mentioning 8x the size of earth.

If 1 block = 1 meter, that's pretty far.

Are the terrains randomly generated, or partly random partly designed or something? IS THERE A GOD?

There's different climate biomes, but other than that I think it's just a random seed.

Notch could be considered the god (albeit not an omnipresent one).

I would not have mentioned the inventory hack, I have one and I think it's spoiled the game a bit (for me)

spend hours looking for sulphur etc, or just hack a big stack of tnt

did have a bit of fun blowing away a whole mountain though 256xtnt makes a BIG hole!

Well it only spoils it if you use it. (Like any cheat, really).

 

I'm aware of it, but wont use them (or any of the other editors).

 


Of course, if there were limited resources and I ran out in the middle of something awesome, I might consider using one, but since that shouldn't happen.

Why, do the paintings in the NPG look like they've been modelled with lego?

I do /not/ appreciate David Hockney, Michael. Don't you have anything less weird to marvel at?
