FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Hi, i'm kinda new and just want to see if minetest has "far lands"(Place where physics/terrain generator is distorted at end of world.) I am working on it right now, but it is gonna take a little while. Also, does it differ on servers?

It does not have. The world ends at +-31000 in all six directions and works flawlessly all the way. (Altough depending on version it might crash.) Sorry! :P

Why not make a smooth transition from -31000 to +31000 and from +31000 to -31000. This way it would like a bit like a planet... So if I reach +31000 one step more I will at -31000. Only with Y there could be a logical problem with that.

Yeah, best loop only in x and z.

thnks

A rather big bump but I'd like this to be added. (Maybe it has been, the farthest I've gotten is -5000x.

The looping would be a good idea. If the world loops seamlessly, then the world size could be restricted to several thousand blocks without it seeming too small. This would be good for server operators who don't want ginormous world sizes. For the server, with a small enough world, it could generate the entire "planet" at once before starting for the first time, so the map image wouldn't have all those white boxes.

Can you imagine, how much time it take to generate 238,328,000,000,000 blocks?

Perhaps it would be possible at a later time. The engine should be finished to a point first and then when the developers are more knowledgeable about using and coding in the engine they could try it out.

c55 said, that fully generated world (62000x62000x62000) took ~10 tb of storage... i dont think that anyone have enough place on his HDD for this

I've put thought about this.

As hijera says, he means as AN ENTIRE CUBE FILLED WITH BLOCKS. NOT AS DEFAULT LANDMASS.

I know; reread my post, I said that would be possible if a changeable world size limit were added.
