When you have to travel far, nether will help you. Build or use an railroad there.we need to travel... travel FAR
IMO, there is no end in adding new content by mojang. And what, are we supposed to constantly reset the map to get it? After half-a-year or so, everything will repeat again. Or it will be even more painful, since Takeo wants to add a WorldGuard. That means, that new world will soon be explored in all entirety, and it will be absolutely no space for new content to appear.At 1,3 we had emerald
At 1,4 we gained witch huts, carrots and potatoes
At 1.5, we gained nether quartz
I can show you couple of em.Witch huts were, to my knowledge, never found at all
Since its in nether, its just a matter of building a railroad in a right direction. About 1000 blocks from spawn in nether, and you will get it.At 1.5, we gained nether quartz. I do not even DARE to guess how large the map is right now, or how far we have to travel in the nether to find quartz
If you say that traveling 1000 blocks each time when you need quartz is problematic for you, than you can build a some kind of outpost in that area and collect quartz in quantities in advance for future use.
Whole world can be inscribed into rectangle with sides of 26000x32000 (S=832 mil) blocks.This means that the size of the map we have now is immensive
But only around 1/5th of space in it is explored. Main continent can be inscribed into 13500x8000 (S=108 mil) rectangle.
I doubt that you can provide hard arguments to your 'fragile to corruption' statement. As i know, backups are made constantly.immensive, and fragile to corruption either
Resources are plundered? In our main continent of 108 million square blocks, there are enough diamonds and other resources for hundreds of Anhraks, each with 9 stacks of dias. To get them all in such area will be an unachievable undertaking. Even with x-ray. Even for all of us together.but lots of resources have been plundered
my adventures only hauled in about 9 stacks of diamond ore
Here my calculations.
There are average 3.097 diamond ore blocks in chunk (i got number from minecraftwiki), chunk is 256 sq. blocks.
So, in main continent we have about 3.097 * 108*10^6 / 256 ~= 1,306 million blocks of diamond ore.
I am sure that its more then enough, since 100 players and each with 9 stacks of diamond ore will consume just 4,4% of all available ore.
I hope there is no necessity to speak about more abundant ores, like coal or iron.
Its only one thing i can agree with you. But, when Takeo will make a new world with WorldGuard, it will be just a matter of time for such tears to reappear. What about concentrating on building things? I am sure that your imagination is infinite, in contrast with our humble world.It's also the will of adventuring. Everything has already been discovered
Well, yes. In spawn area it is. But we have vast spaces out of it. And they are intact. Why not to move to them?the land is also filled with scars of griefers
And spawn area can be fixed, btw. Or spawnpoint itself can be moved somewhere else.
