1: It's just that Minecraft as it is "now" is pretty computer intensive for only 128 layers. (400K of RAM! :ohmy.gif: ) To increase the map height limit would also increase computational requirements. There are a number of fixes and extremely useful ideas that have been presented, but and his team have not responded. (Such as the one where instead of having chunks made in 64x64 or w/e it currently is, to a smaller number. AND where Y and Z are included in the chunks. I can't remember all the technical terms that were used, so it's hard for me to explain.) EDIT: A chunk is 64x64x128, the mod to increase map height makes a chunk 128x128x256, but the mod also requires TWICE the normal computational power. And the fix that was presented to Mojang, would make you be able to see everything on far, with a lot better speed.
2: More pictures. Got it.
3: Anyone want to see that with pistons? Dang that'll be tough to do. But we will "try", no guarantees..
Yeah, the height limit is nothing any of us really can do anything about. Let's just hope they will raise it a little more, or have an option to generate new worlds with a larger height limit.
There are several mountains in the Wheel of Time world that will need to be pretty high.
I highly suggest that you take the full advantage of using redstone and pistons while making the world. Especially in Tar Valon, since it's supposed to be a place of "mystery and magic", so to speak. Using pistons to make hidden doorways and such will be an excellent way to create a certain feeling.
How cool wouldn't it be with a hidden doorway, with a button in the form of a torch on the wall? Epic! However, then you'll need to use a mod to get more items into the game.
That's also however recommended if making a huge world, the normal Minecraft items simply won't be enough to make it near perfection.
The ideas and possibilities are endless.
Just give me a PM or something if you need my help building or similar, since - as I said - I am pretty bad with making signatures. I'll check in here from time to time tho to watch the progress even if you don't need my help.
Everyone seem indeed to have a problem with the height limit! I can't understand why they have not fixed it.
And to be honest, I am not that skilled in making signatures. I have been working with Photoshop some, but certainly not enough to make it good looking. I'm sure there must be someone else in your team that's more qualified to do it.
I was more thinking of building, if you're into that phase.
I saw something about making Tar Valon? That would be an ideal place to start building, if you ask me. Since that place is pretty much in the middle of the world, and you can just build it outwards from there. It can also be used as an "independent" RP city once its done, and will certainly draw a lot more people to this project once they see stuff are actually being made.
You guys need to post more pictures! :wink.gif:
I was doodling a little about the Tower of Genjei some days ago, how you could be able to make it.
Would not be so hard, pretty much just a big steel tower with a hidden door using redstone, and maybe a 9 digit combination lock there you have to make it in the form of a triangle and a line through it (I think that is the sign you've to make according to the book to get in?)
Problem will be connecting those two. I can pretty easily make both of them work separately, but together.. Might be a problem.
Hello there gamers.
Found this thread yesterday while searching the web for interesting already existing, and worlds in progress.
And yes, I got here from Google - not really sure how tho.
I have to say that this looks like one hell of an interesting project, since there are no real maps to go after when building it all. But, I guess only the imagination sets the boundaries then!
Just thought I should register on Minecraftforums - after surfing here for a while as a guest - to pay my respect towards all of you working on this. Finally time that someone makes something out of the Wheel of Time. I have myself read many of the books, and currently rereading them right now to continue with the newly released ones when I'm done.
I would also be interested to join the team if you feel that you could need another member, or just a mindless drone since I'm still young and eager to do something productive - on the computer. I might not be specialized in any certain areas but.. Hey, that's what life is for - learning new things!
