Been a while since I posted here one way or the other, but I've come across an ocean while playing on a large biome world that took over 30 Minecraft days (I didn't hold the W key constantly, I changed forward to another key that could be held down by something) to even find a decent amount of land, and even then it's only a mushroom island.
That's just the stats, (or in other words, about 115 miles) the map of the world itself looks like a huge line on first inspection. I'm only going to post a direct link to the image, but yeah, it's huge. Also keep in mind that this map is drawn to 1:16th scale, it'd be over half a GB if I tried saving 1:1, and I don't think the mapper I use would let me draw a map with those dimensions.
Seed? See, sometimes one-word posts aren't just spam. But since you get infracted for them even when appropriate, here are some extra words. I guess they probably wouldn't count the implied "what's the" if I didn't write it...
That's one big-ass ocean. Just looking at it in AMIDST, but it looks like there was plenty of other land off to the north and south of your position. Not that there'd have been any way for you to know that, but...
It is kind of nice in one way, if you have an ocean like that on your server only the most crazy, determined griefer will ever cross it and find your house.

"Sometimes, I just wanna give up, say 'I'm done with this mess' and go to bed. But you know what; you can't shrug off your responsibilities. You got to pull yourself up and meet the challenges head on. That's the only way you're gonna get ahead in life."
They need limits, the seed I'm playing on starts me in the middle of the ocean. There are two islands on one map coverage area. Yes I cheated for the map. I was curious!
Yeah they are ridiculous. Yeah, oceans are enormous IRL, but realism is not an aspect, nor should it become one, of this game. For cryin out loud, you start the game by punching a tree with your fists! Agreed, 20 minute max travel time.

Yeah, I didn't even know what AMIDST was until I looked it up. Looking at it using my current position, there's plenty of Mushroom Islands surrounding me, and about 20 KM to the east (the route I was going) is a huge continent. I figured that around the 200 KM mark is when I'd come across a continent, however now I know just what z coordinate to stick to, thanks.
That is quite a big distance....
Yeah. It is ridiculous.
The survival map I'm currently playing spawned me in an ocean....I'm just lucky that there was land nearby.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for big oceans. At most though, with the way oceans are, I'd say 20 minutes would be bearable.

You think magic isn't real? Consider this: for every person, there is a sentence -- a series of words -- which has the power to destroy them.
But yeah oceans BIG

Did you know if you sail the wrong way, on Earth, it's infinite too? Like that one dude Odysseus...

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
