Trying to break the monotony here. Just a simple topic.

When you generate a new world, how fast do you decide whether or not you're going to play on it? Do you explore it a bit first or do you just take in what you see in the immediate area.

If the immediate spawn point is poor, I'll wander around for 30 seconds or so. If I'm not satisfied by then, I'll start a new world.

I like to walk around a bit first. Our current multiplayer world with a few friends is a perfect case in point. It had a pretty crappy spawn area, we built up a shelter (it was the first time any of my friends played on hard difficulty so we didn't take any chances getting lost in the dark), after a few days of getting on our feet we went out and explored and found two beautiful, and I do mean beautiful, valleys. Both of them had waterfalls and flat ground to build in.

Needless to say we moved our base of operations but to answer your question McAngus, I do like to at least give the world a chance, just because you see a sprawling desert at spawn doesn't mean you won't find the holy grail of Minecraft terrain just over the hillside.

I was so excited to play, I just started on the first world I got. Now it is too late to look back.

i just start building. the terrain is what you make of it.

I usualy keep whatever world I get, unless I wind up spawning in a jungle. Jungles are neat, but I usually don't like to make houses there, and I usualy build my house near spawn.

I look around for visible dungeons, those are pretty cool.

Other than that, I like the spawn area to look nice too

I usually find a nice, open patch of land and plop my house right on top of it.
It dosen't really take long for me to find a good biome to settle down in.

I usually look for something specific. If not I want a good spawn with a beach and flat land.

I wander around on peaceful looking for a variety of stuff. Cactus, sugarcane, all three types of trees, etc. I like to know I'm going to have as many possibilities as I can. If I decide to play it I'll reload on normal and away i go.

I have my primary world, which is basically the second one I ever generated. It has a nice mix of terrain and items (sugarcane, cactus, etc.) and I'm quite happy with it. (I lost my very first world with the update, but we won't go into that.) I will generate new worlds when I just want to take a break from my primary world and just go exploring different scenery for a bit. Sometimes they are random and sometimes they are from the lists. However, I haven't created any of these worlds with the intention of playing in them for very long and, so far, I haven't become attached to any of them. I usually stay in them around 30 minutes, walking around the map and exploring the occasional cave and then I'll exit and delete them.

I took the first world I got, and I loved it. Like someone said above, the terrain is what you make it, and I made it beautiful.
