Just wondering

I know this is an idiotic question but what happens when u reach the end of the map? Does it just stop with an invisible barrier?

I think the textures start glitching and the mapgen stops, but you can still keep flying.

Create a world, /grant singleplayer all, teleport and fly (fast) the last bit.

I did a while ago. Just try :-)

Edit: teleport to 30900,40,30900

Yes. There are no blocks anymore and you cant walk over the edge.

IMO the edges should lead back to the opposing edge, even if its just a teleport trick, then it would feel like a round world :p

It would actually feel like a torus world, but still a good idea (if do-able).

Its like a gray barrier that covers the entire world.....
Indestructible that is...

I'm still waiting on this. I believe it's possible.
Just realized every time I revive this topic it's the 23rd. ;-)

The world ends, and you can't walk off the edge. However, with fly (and noclip if using the dev version), you can go past the edge. In addition, with or without fly, you can throw items off the edge. Doing so results in an error, and the item clones itself (out of your reach) indefinitely, causing a lot of lag for the server. Eventually this will probably be fixed, but for now, I recommend staying away from the edge if you are not in your own private test world.

Can someone write the default coordinate of the edge? So we can warp there? This also answers how large is the world by default.

Thank you very much!

Is it about +/-30900? I'm currently checking it

Edit:
I've found one of the endings: the map ended at z=+30847. I tried jumping at it but I got stuck (using fast, no fly). Had to teleport back.

I use the limits of the world occasionally in my code, so I have them written down in a .txt.

The positive boundary is 30927, while the negative boundary is -30912. Please note that these are NOT positive and negative versions of the same integer, the positive boundary is fifteen nodes further from zero, presumably due to the fact that map chunks are 16 nodes long.

Thank you 0gb.us.

I think that my trip caused my server to crash after I got stuck there... And I didn't try to place a block or drop something there.

Edit: Indeed, it had a seg fault and the process was killed.

It's not 2^16 = 32,768? That's strange.
