I recently discovered a Minecraft map where somebody had taken the entire Earth and shrunk it down to 1:1500 scale, at which point a number of relatively small features (Cape Cod, the Aegean) become scarily visible.

It would make an awesome Civcraft-type server, I think. Take the monorail from New York to Los Angeles, or have an underwater train track running from Cape Town to Perth?

The way I'd do it is that when you log on, you get put at your "real" coordinates (ignoring the how for now). Build your home town or just bury it in TNT!

Note that at 1.5 km per block, most towns would be difficult to fit onto the map. I think the best approach might be more like 10:1 to 100:1 scale, fine enough to allow voxelized versions of landmarks to fit while minimizing the problem of having way, way too much spaaace on the map for the number of players.

We would still need to enhance Nether transport so it's a further 20+ times more compressed. On a 100:1 map, you could sprint from New York to San Fransisco through a x20 Nether in 25 minutes.

I love this guy's stuff. He's done a few other guides, too (but I think that one is my favorite): http://sarlacminecraft.imgur.com/

I wish there was a mod/plugin that let you set an image as a biome map, but actually generated the chunks on-the-fly. That way you could have a procedurally created map of Earth or Faerun or whatever.

Or maybe there is, but the last time I checked there were only utils that let you change biomes after the fact.

I made a thing that lets you generate a map using a biome map, but it has to be a dwarf fortress biome map.

[Orange Wizard]

Would it be possible to make something that uses vanilla terrain gen but specify what biomes are generated where?

[Rose]

That would be pretty cool, actually, and likely possible using forge.

[Mech#4]

I think there is a mod that changes how biomes are generated so you don't have deserts next to tundras. I think it might be called "Realistic Biomes" or something similar, but all those type of mods are called something like that so it's not much help.

I think I saw it in one of the mod packs on the "Feed the Beast" website.

I wonder, is there a mod that makes the whole world an ocean? I'd like to play MC like it was LoZ: Wind Waker.

In 1.8 you can use "customized" in the world settings to make a pure ocean or deep ocean world. Not sure it'd be good enough for your purposes though.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I meant, like, with small islands scattered about. Customized wouldn't really work for me, I'm afraid.

[Orange Wizard]

That's definitely within the scope of customised worldgen. I'll mess with it later today and see if I can come up with something.

I've started playing Minecraft again, but the mod I used to play with has gone horribly out-of-date. Does anybody a) have any preferred difficulty rebalancing mods? It's all rather trivial, even on hard and b) know of any good low-tech automation mods?

I used to play Better Than Wolves, but FC stopped updating it a few months back.
