So I recently got myself a Realms server, and with 1.8 on the very near horizon, I am pretty excited to have my map be updated to 1.8, however I do have 1 main concern, chunk generation...

Chunk generation moving from 1.6 to 1.7 had those weird vertical walls or an ice spikes biome right next to a jungle for example. Has anyone had any of those issues when moving from 1.7.10 (map was created in 1.7.10), to 1.8? I'm currently busy at the moment, and I'm really itching to know if I should consider resetting it, or generating the chunks out far enough that the walls/wrong biomes won't bother me unless I decide to go explore.
Here's my map details below.

Map Loaded In: 1.7.10

Seed: 4 (If I don't have it wrong, the Hermitcraft seed was also 4, but loaded in 1.6)



I am planning to sometime tomorrow check if there's terrain issues, but if someone has the info already, I'd rather not waste my time trying to find new chunks in 1.8...



Thanks!

I don't think there will be any problem; the Chunk Generation wasn't changed, I am am not mistaken.

Thanks, I really do hope the generation doesn't break as I've spent most of yesterday building a nether hub..

I'll try it out for you. I'm thinking the implementation of world customization may have forced them to adjust a few things.

I can confirm that it works just fine. Looks like they haven't changed anything.

Thank you so much! No reset!

Chunk generation hasn't but the new blocks will only be generated on new chunks(not sure if you understand)

Cool, I do understand, same as the switch from 1.5 to 1.6 where the horses only spawned on new chunks, this time being the blocks...

As long as my map doesn't break, I don't mind having to generate new chunks for the new blocks though.

Yea. Just keep backups to be safe

I've spent most of yesterday building a nether hub..

Well, with my own experience, I can actually also say for a fact that nothing regarding terrain generation changed, what I did was load the seed 4 up in 1.7.10, found a point in my Realm that was loaded, but wouldn't be loaded on this new map, and teleported there while in 1.8-pre2, everything was exactly the same. I flew out in 1.8 around 1.7.10 generated chunks and saw no issues at all.



Coming to the conclusion, updating to 1.8 might make the new stuff a bit difficult to find because you'll have to generate new chunks, but other than that, there's no reset required!
