I was digging around some bedrock trying to find some redstone when I can across a stone block lower than I had seen before. I thought it was just there because the bedrock was sort of randomly placed around that height and hit it with my pick. When the stone fell away there was just blue below. Not water, just a blue void.
Have I somehow managed to find a gap in the bedrock?
And like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the giant Screen itself, all of which we inherit shall dissolve. And, like an insubstantial pageant faded, leave not a byte behind.
Sorry, I searched for "bedrock broken" and couldn't find anything.
I searched again for "bedrock outside" were heaps about it.
I'll make sure I search more next time something weird happens.
I read in another topic, that if you start to find bedrock, it's better to stop digging further. You could try to put a spring block though, and use it as an elevator in the void? :biggrin.gif:
oh god, i want to try this.

Matt, seriously, stop trolling. So can you please shut the **** up and go troll the infdev forums about how much you want to get 10 bucks from your hobo house?
Redstone is not rare. It is, in fact, more common than iron on the same Z-level.
Look for it at levels 11-18. thats the cut off line for red-stone and diamond (it's doesn't spawn any higher.)
level 0 is the last layer of blocks I think. before the void.
As for the void, congrats, you just found your bottomless pit. whoopee.
Not a lot you can do, except make water flow in there and shove pigs down it by the dozen.
Oh, and on the search for redstone: Lava spawns inside caves at level 11 if I remember. so don't dig too far sideways when looking for caves from the bottom unless you are above that mark.

I'm pretty sure I've read before that it doesn't work. The water stops where the void begins, so you just fall. It used to be you would fall forever with no way to die, but I don't know if that's been fixed yet.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

We can't have infinitely high constructions and apparently we can't have infinitely deep constructions either...
Would infinite within artificial limits still be considered infinite?
I hate having to look this up constantly.
level -1 = Void
level 0 = Last blocks.
level 2 = As deep as caves go (the filled parts)
Level 4 = last of the
Level 10 = last of the
level 18 = last of and redstone ore.
level 36 (maybe 35) = Last of
level 63 = Ocean height (for perspective)
So to answer your question, the void is at floor -1.

Mmmm... philosophy.
Technically, it'll be infinte; try measuring the cubic volume of the minecraft world, you will fail. you can measure what's been explored (with difficulty, I suspect) but not what can be explored. A vertical limit is nothing, because one dimension remains infinite.
Unless of course, Notch put in an artifical limit at some obscenely high number of chunks, in which case, we're operating under false assumptions and the world is really finite, albeit xbox-hueg.

Ha! I don't even know the meaning of the word, "Illiterate!"

I thought I read somewhere that the word wasn't "infinite" so much as really large. 32 million x 32 million, I thought it was.

Any ideas?
No luck on the redstone yet :tongue.gif:
As you will notice soon.

A simple suggestion on geology here.

Curse PremiumYeah. Thats a void now. And Notch made it so that instead of falling forever, you die.
Yeah. Your little minecrafter suffocates in the non-existent air blocks.
I wish he put the lava back... It felt like finding the mantle :biggrin.gif:
hmm... I might make a thread on that. later though...

Wait, the whole world is flooded above layer 64? :ohmy.gif:
Diamond exists from level 0-18
it cuts off at 18, and doesn't exist higher.

There is no objective 'top' (except for skybox end, I suppose) only an objective 'bottom'. Top level is relative to the environment around you.
Surface lava is amazing.
You just got rickrolld.
OFFLINE. Don't join if you don't want to help.
NO! stop it! dont divide by zero!!!
bad things happen!!
You sir, did what I could not... As you can see on my castle courtyard/towers for DL post...
