Okay so I heard from alot of people that Minecraft is 3x bigger than Earth.
Later I heard that it was 4x bigger than Earth, and that they got this information from WIKI.
What I want to know is how big is Minecraft? This is confusing me. Because I've also heard that its only 2x bigger than Earth. The only thing I know for a fact is that it takes 800+ hours to get from the center of Minecraft, to the edge.

Last I checked Minecraft worlds go on infinitely now, no more farlands at the 'edge' so um.. I guess infinitely larger? It's like our universe, it's infinite but always getting bigger.
Infinant times bigger. Minecraft is infinant. Earth is not.
No, minecraft now goes on much further than the farlands yes, but eventually it just cuts off, and everything stops generationg, but your talking like 60 million blocks out or more

No the world cuts off. It doesn't go on forever. Theres no farlands because there is nothing when you get to the edge. I think this happend in 1.8

Well then, now if we truly wish to know which is bigger let's generate the largest MC world and note how many gigs it is, then we have to find out how many gigs the Earth is worth... Gonna be tricky.
Actually your computer COULD handle a entirely explored world... if you had a lot of hard drive space. I think a fully explored world would take multiple petabytes! That is one of the reasons Notch decided to make the worlds generate as you go.

I highly doubt it takes up more than 500GB's let alone 1000 terabytes, so try not to over exaggerate yourself their bud

No where near that much mate; I'd give a fully explored Minecraft world a hundred gig at most.

I think if you took a straight path to one edge of the map you'd get that much maybe, but the WHOLE map would be maybe 5x larger, but definitely not as much as he said

I have a reliable source. Minecraft Wiki
I didn't make it up. Unless the wiki is inaccurate. And where in my sentence did I say 1000 petaybytes?
I am not here to start a flame war, I'm just trying to set the record straight.

alright, you obviously pulled something off the wiki which was incorrect and you had no real understanding what it was, ill lay it out for you
1000 gigabytes = 1 terabyte, 1000 terabytes = 1 petabyte. your normal minecraft player will usually max a world at around 100 megabytes also (1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte), so yea, trust me that source is wrong.
-P.S. A little info for ya, your normal CPU hard disk space will be 1 terabyte, and with that you can easily walk to the farlands (if your willing to take the 820 hours). Now petabyte drives are in the works right now, so i wouldnt doubt we'd be seeing them soon.

I agree a normal player would never use have a 235 petabyte world. But every Minecraft version from Infdev on has the ability to generate that much data per world. Look on the page. Its second line down. Link
Also that means the ENTIRE Minecraft world, all the area, not just a straight line from center to end.

^ Correct
Earth = 1
Minecraft = Infinite
Hmmm... i think Earth is still bigger, seeing the world of Minecraft is imaginary...

What the **** is petabyte?
