I am sort of in the middle here, on one hand, I love Beta terrain probably the most. Maybe that is nostalgia, but I loved the sheer variety of terrain you got- massive cliffs, those enormous overhangs and I sort of miss the random "sandpits" you would find. That said I don't dislike the new generation, it just isn't quite so exciting, even with many more biomes. I also miss the continents you used to get, the world is currently like a Pangea and the oceans are in reality lakes, I sort of liked the adventure in crossing enormous oceans to new lands back in the early releases. One thing that could be improved upon in modern Minecraft is you can spawn in a world that due to the temperature of biomes is almost exclusively desert and savanna biomes. I am lucky in my world it is mostly the biomes I like most near spawn but that is pure luck.

Me too, I miss the adventurous aspect of it, it feels like most of everything is just mountains which get incredibly annoying and oceans don't seem to actually exist anymore. More so large rivers. I've found one seed out of about 4 I made that made me happy, everything else was very ugly and those stone mountains were an eyesore to say the least.

I disagree with you. My current single player world has nearly all biomes within 2000 to 3000 block radius from the spawn, and I actually like the world generation the way it is now (minus the mountains, can't wait to the new mountain generation coming in Caves & Cliffs part 2).

You also can set the game to have "large biomes", when starting new world, so it wouldn't feel as claustrophobic.

But be prepared to end up in the middle of gigantic mountain biome or birch biome (which I personally like, but I'm bit weird anyway).

While I indeed don't agree with you. I can't claim, that you would be the only one who has nostalgic feelings towards the world generation of Alpha and Beta versions of the game.

In the end, everyone has their own preferences.

That is a pro for the new world generation, but I've found the oceans are a lot harder to fine and those damn mountains look really gross, other than that, biomes being not as rare is a plus, but it's the look that bothers me.

I've started up a couple worlds, now I am very particular with what I like, but ever since the game has been steadily updating, I feel the terrain has gotten bland and the biomes spawn in dense areas that make me feel claustrophobic, does anyone else get the same feeling? I remember the world generation being quite different and very interesting, with floating mountains and the such, it feels like these days it's always snowy mountains and a birch forest, it doesn't feel like the game is random more so just bias towards those biomes, especially mountains. As such everything feels clustered and looks kind of gross, I miss the greenery from the Alpha and Beta days, where the terrain was much more nuance and had bizarre looks.

Hi everyone! I've been seeing a lot of posts about Minecon recently so I thought it would be a nice change to instead of complain about how Minecon capes aren't being given out anymore, we could look back at the past and discuss our favorite ones.

Probably 1.0, and the old servers, servers are dead these days.

So what, Mojang is a bunch of tree huggers now? ? ? I can't believe what she said, this younger community really is making a difference, and not in a good way. But to be fair it's not entirely their fault, Mojang just thinks they are stupid enough to somehow go up to a shark.

"With no rules to follow, this adventure, it's up to you", Damn I want Notch back.

With their logic they might as well remove trees, "Trees are really misunderstood, people harvest them for money and think their useless, but they actually give us oxygen."

In my mind I think these are the best in order and I have reasons I picked these capes. 2011 has to come number one due to the simple look and the iconic creeper on the cape 2015 cape has to come number two this would have won the 1st place if not just being eyes the amount of detail on the cape other then the eyes really makes the cape look polished and beautiful 2012 has to come 3rd! this beautiful cape with its cool colors really looks nice but the colors in some spots can just look too bright hurting the eyes. NEXT 2015 Yes 2015 the only reason this isn't at the last place is it sorta of fits with the village update in 2015. And the last cape would have to be 2013 thats right 2013 the cape has no reason to even be there in the 1st place and just a boring old piston by it self really makes the cape boring the colors they picked for the cape are terrible green with a oak color? ew. I personally hate this cape and the only way other people could find enjoyment is actually doing a ton of redstone themselves. I hope you enjoyed this really long replay.

Quote from Skelebling»

I used to watch Paulsoaresjr's "Survive and Thrive" series. In the second series (after the game was released) he started to call skeletons in full gold armour "Skelebling". I don't know why but I remembered this and when I got to pick my username for my account back in 2013 I thought Skelebling sounded cool. I had thought about changing it but decided not to after I started using it on other platforms like Steam and social media. 4 years later and I have never changed my Minecraft account's name, and never intend to.

I own a server and I just rethought my life choices

I agree with all this for the most part.

• 8 times the size of the Earth: Minecraft from InfDev to Beta 1.7.4 when including the far lands.
• 7 times the size of the Earth: Current Minecraft all the way up until the border before where Imaginary Blocks spawned.

But there's something nobody tends to tread on, and I certainly hadn't even mentioned it in my last video from 4 years back. It's volume. What's the volume of Minecraft? And how does that compare to the Earth?

All we have to do is take the area of Minecraft and multiply it by height, base times height (256 meters). That gives us a volume of over 900 million cubic km. The Earth, however, is roughly 1 trillion cubic km. Meaning, the Earth's volume is actually 1000x that of Minecraft.

Here's the reason, Minecraft has no* depth to it. Think about a sphere and how every meter it extends in length and width, it will equally extend in height. Minecraft on the other hand, while technically a rectangular prism, is basically a square relatively speaking. Think about its Length and Width (60,000,000x60,000,000 m) compared to its height (256 m). When we put that into a base to height ratio, For every meter the base of Minecraft extends the height only extends 0.000000000000071 meters. That's why a world like Minecraft can have an enormous surface area more than 7x the Earth's, but puny volume.

It's like a long napkin vs a golf ball.

Thanks for watching, and I hope you enjoyed the video.

• Just wanted to address the Game Theory video since it was so popular. He claims Minecraft is a sphere, but I really don't believe any of this. In my opinion, MatPat simply looks too deeply into the game, going off the rotations off the sun/moon/stars, gravity, sunsets, etc... While I'm no stranger to looking deep, it's easy to point out what has a bearing on the physical world and what is simply just an animation in the sky. There's no curvature programmed into Minecraft, we know that it goes out in a flat x/z plane and slightly up and down in the Y dimension. While it is an interesting video, the GameTheory's take on the shape of the MineCraft world seems to be more of a "lore"-based theory, while my shape of Minecraft goes straight off the coordinates and how the world is physically structured. In my opinion, I'm simply taking a more pragmatic approach.

I like the 2012 one.
