There are so many things about this story that don't add up.
- Invisible force field
- Mountain in ocean biome
- Other people can't generate the same map
- That music block
If this is for real, that's one profoundly corrupted world. I would delete the world, then delete META-INF, and then delete Minecraft. Then take the computer to a federal toxic waste disposal facility. Then change your name and move to a different state and pray it never happens again.
This makes the game 2x interesting, the odds of this glitch and whatever you may get from it, was never supposed to be there. I really like thinking its some kind of "Don't mess with the paradox" style thing. Mice find!
My favourite part of this thread is where somebody asks if they are using mods, and they say they are 'just' using Forge and Optifine. as if Forge doesn't completely rework some of the internals of the game and Optifine doesn't completely rework the renderer...
when asked if i was using mods, i assumed the question was getting at the idea of me having mods installed that are meant to alter gameplay mechanics in some way. tbh, i don't think i even need forge installed at the moment (i'm not really using it as far as i can tell), but i figured i would need it later on when i get into things like tekkit (which a friend of mine has been pestering me to try) or other major mods, so it's kind of just hanging out for now. i do really like using optifine though, because the game is just fugly by default.
geez louise, some of the people in this community are harbingers of doom and gloom! do you folks really see that much trolling that it's made you this skeptical/jaded?
has anyone downloaded the world and looked into it further? if it's indeed a glitch due to corrupted data, wouldn't that be replicable on another machine considering i've uploaded the whole world save, leaving it untouched?
would using magic launcher play into this situation at all? i forgot to mention that in the OP. i've been using magic launcher from the get go because i saw it linked in the optifine thread when i first went to download optifine. and the only other thing i can think of is that i have that xmx xms command line argument to allocate more of my ram.
That ain't corrupted, that's Herobrine's work... (lol jk facepalm) probably a corrupted chunk. Try saving the seed number, then wiping that save and make a new save with the same seed. See what the results of that are.
download my world save and look for yourself. i'm not trolling. wouldn't even begin to think of making something like this up. anyone who would take such time and effort is an idiot who has wayyy too much free time on their hands.
i am a grown man, not a boy crying wolf (or herobrine for that matter).
At first I thought it was just a chunk error (and it partly is as you can clearly see) but your entire world is corrupted. Weird chunk loading in other areas, constant thunder noises, weird weather changes, yeah you got a really glitched world.
so my next question is, what causes a player to get a "really glitched world" as you've put it?
i have had numerous crashes to my desktop while playing. it happens most often when there's rapid input on my part. for example, if i have a diamond pickaxe enchanted with efficiency III and i'm mining away at a 2x2 shaft like a bat outta hell. or if i get surprised by a mob in a cave and start frantically swinging my sword to kill 'em quickly.
would these crashes lead to more and more corrupted data over time, creating the glitched world?
and if that's the case, how can i make my game more stable? and/or what am i doing wrong to make it so unstable in the first place?
i've posted my system specs previously, but just to review:
cpu: quad-core xeon x3440 (2.53ghz with hyper-threading)
ram: 12gb ddr3-1600
gpu: radeon hd 6870
ssd: 128gb crucial m4 (game is installed here)
i'm running 64-bit java and was originally allocating 6gb of my ram to minecraft via those xmx and xms command line arguments. i've since read that minecraft actually tends to perform better with less ram, so i've dropped it down to 1gb. i'm using optifine b4 ultra with all in-game settings maxed (as far as quality, not performance). and i'm using sphax purebdcraft 128x. just last night i was poking around on the wiki and discovered an article about upgrading your lwjgl libraries, so i tried that. i'm now running lwjgl 2.8.4 and that seems to have cut down on the crashing a bit, but it still happens from time to time.
am i just trying to push the game too hard graphically? i mean, you would think my system can handle it, but then again, java is flakey.
Im a bit skeptical about downloading the world (dont wanna get any bugs that might corrupt future worlds, but whatever :3)
I do however do not believe you are a troll. I think you found this legit and that it's actually very rare. I commend you for your discovery, sir. :3
Now excuse me while I go play MC for an hour trying to find other wierd glitches.

How can you download a world on Minecraft? I can't seem to do it in mine.
Rather obviously, he's got a bug that other people have gotten.
Also i couldn't find the mountain too.
he put up a download link

FURRY

I think its more of a generation bug to me. Nice find.
