Basically do what you just did, but put some time into it.
And then we'll need this as well.
I want
ocean content(thanks Möjang!),nether biomes(again thanks!!), and savanna passive mobs (meerkats incoming!?).Well then maybe do it in visible areas. What I mean is like, if there's a overhang with water, the thing would just stay there?
My Scroll.
It's already on its way there. Thank Cuchaz and the rest of the guys on the Tall Worlds team for making this an ever closer reality in 1.7.
All we need is for player-driven events to continue in the distance, ie. furnaces, brewing stands, farm growth, and farm animal growth and feeding timers. Then mobs (both hostile and non) should cease operation when outside of loaded chunks but should still run their despawn timers down. The exception to this would be dropped items would not count down while outside of loaded chunks, because otherwise it could become impossible to retrieve your items in time when you die.
I want
ocean content(thanks Möjang!),nether biomes(again thanks!!), and savanna passive mobs (meerkats incoming!?).Single blocks - easy.
mod compatibility - easy
Hopppers, redstone, inventory interaction - just not feasible. (as in, if a hopper is disabled with redstone, or a dropper is supposed to move items using a clock, it's not feasible to accommodate for these kinds of possibilities within a manageable code-base).
My conclusion was that it would only work on single blocks and very simple hopper-furnace setups. Going past this would be opening a very big can of very wormy worms, and would quickly degrade the entire Time-stamps based suggestion into one of those things that would absolutely never make it into the vanilla ever.
I believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn, bless her Invisible Pinkness.
Just keep it simple: actions that interact with other blocks cease in unloaded chunks, actions that stay within their own blocks continue in unloaded chunks.

Sounds like a move in the right direction. He says it won't be Cubic Chunks, but they could always change their mind.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Lighting is not a problem. Cuchaz solved it a long time ago in his work on Tall Worlds. And if you don't want to look through all of the pages of the thread to see if something has been mentioned, there's a handy search bar at the top of the page that lets you search for every mention of something in the thread you're viewing.
This thread is a suggestion and argument for adding cubic chunks to Vanilla Minecraft.
Both threads serve different purposes, evidenced by the fact that the Tall Worlds thread is in the mods section, and this one is in the suggestions section.
Citation needed????
Between my post and the next was 5 days, nothing wrong with that, but this thread certainly isn't all that busy, but most of the comments are people trying to solve problems that the OP hasn't changed to say fixed or people showing their support, but not necessarily through discussion. However the tall worlds thread is for a mod and this is not so I wouldn't recommend a migration to the tall worlds thread.
And then we'll need this as well.
See what I mean
Also just hit the little up arrow on the OP, don't post.
And then we'll need this as well.
These forums are dumb and break my links. I'm bubbleawsome on steam too.
