I believe he is referring to the situation in which someone tweeted at Dinnerbone and said Cubic Chunks would help with "Amplified" terrain generation, and Dinnerbone replied and said it actually wouldn't help.
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!
-The Gods Of The Copybook Headings, by Rudyard Kipling.
On it's that annoying guy that hated 1.6...
Non-advanced? It's post-apocalyptic.
No reason not to find old plans for a nasa-style launch pad, or be able to make enough fuel to get to the moon ...

(In regard to a mod that gives realistic animal genetics):
Would you really rather have bees that make diamonds and oil with magical genetic blocks?
... did I really ask that?
Really, though, I hate the idea of rockets in minecraft.
reason: the amount of time it will take to get from y:0 to y:1000
so while you are playing minecraft and have a huge piston elevator, go ahead and take a break while you wait 15 minutes to get up.
Zeppelin Mod had real elevators, if that could be gotten going again. But yeah, it's always fun to push piston tech to the limits.

For infinite depth you may dig to very hot lava after halfday of digging, and in creative(you survive) you may tunnel to another side of the land. No you will fail because there is "Mass block" - immutable bedrock but gravity is all around it and it damages very much.
Also for cubic chunks i like underground lakes, also new biomes such as "stratosphere", "termosphere" or space.
That would be epic.
Plus chunks should load only what you see, further decreasing lag,
Support.
Isn't the whole point of this to be vertically infinite? No offence but I hate all those ideas. Are people really going to dig down for 15,000,000 blocks to magma? Will people hold down the W key for days to get to 30,000,000 blocks? I don't think so. You would never even get there without cheats, so it would just be a waste of time adding it. And please, for the love of avatars that aren't dogs, don't suggest space.
LOL. Robinton eventually placed a magma ocean near the bottom of the map at around 30km I think, and we were looking into adding an ability for gravity to get weaker the higher up you went until you hit space, there would have been at least 2 to 4 km of space at the top end of that -32km to +32km range. The main point though, eventually, would have been to make all such details user configurable per world. So if you didn't want lava at the bottom, no problem. No space? No problem.
What would have happened with the next version of Cubic Chunks once it went to 4.2 million KM? (-2.1 to +2.1 mil KM) More user options to set it up the way you want. There was a lot of evolving going on, and it was built on ideas like 3D Biomes/Domains, Space, etc.
I hope to one day see that evolution/revolution start up again.
btw: One of the Cubic Chunks fans did in fact dig all the way down to the magma for the fun of it. "Only" 30 thousand blocks, but still. Besides, the Futurecraft integration with Cubic Chunks will involve cubic planets of definite size which will have cores... and space.

But I wouldn't care if this was in a mod.
You missunderstand: None of the things you mentioned need to be in the game for this suggestion to be relevant. This suggestion has quite a few things going for it which even you would support. Less lag, for example.
I don't misunderstand, I was replying to MineCrak. I support the actual infinite height and depth and the rest of the things in the OP, but not planets and space and changing gravity and looping worlds.
And he and everyone else was saying that you are one Minecraft user. Mojang must be concerned with what 20 million+ users want. Not you or any other one person has the right to decide what should be in the game. If 1,999,999 people want planets and rocket ships, space, changing gravity, looping worlds, and the rest, well, it sucks for that one person, but it is logical as a business decision for Mojang to implement those features.
Oh, ok. Seems I missunderstood. But could you please quote next time, even if you snip out the text, because it seemed like you were saying you wouldn't mind CC itself to be in a mod, and thought that the other things were inherent to it. Now I see it is not the case, of course.
I wasn't saying that. I don't mind anyone expressing their opinion, as long as they stay polite and do not repeat what others have said (too much). And we do not know of the amount of support the others things had, so we needn't discuss them further here. But thank you for defending me, even if you missunderstood my intentions.
I know. That's just my opinion. If 20,000,000 people want rockets and space, Mojang would add space.
Which is why we need to get a few million supporters for cubic chunks so they will add it.
I whole heartedly agree. I just seemed a little bit close to erupting into a flame war, and I wished to prevent it. Obviously, I was mistaken, and it was unnecessary.
Now back to your regularly scheduled Cubic Chunk Suggestion.
