There you go. The canyons are one of the things I'm looking forward to most. The underground oasis is a new idea to me. The first thing that come to mind is the underground jungle from the Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins. I would love to see something like that in vanilla Minecraft.

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.
I'd pay to see THAT. (Yes, its bolded-italicized-underlined-caps.) *Inflates chest* SETHBLING! GET OVER HERE!
That was the funniest thing I've seen all day.
SETHBLING! GET OVER HERE! I love it.

Thanks.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! NONONONONONO
Did you read the post!! This will not change terrain!!11!one!1rage1!
All silliness aside, yes. Ore spawning will stay the same unless they change the terrain.
Or......... Ore spawning would stay the same unless the terrain generator had been changed.
Whichever one is more grammatically correct
I agree. Once the mod is out I'll be using it for all my single player maps and I'm sure support will rise significantly. This is a really good idea and I can't wait until it's implemented.
Support this if you're interested in reducing lag whilst simultaneously expanding the game.
EDIT: Changed my 'location'
I want this to change terrain generation and ores. 256 blocks aren't gonna cut it, Mojang!
That would actually be a good idea for when the mod comes out...
The next iterative step would be 16 chunks with 16 sections with 16x16x16 in a chunk which would be 1 048 576m or 2^20 blocks high. Seems a bit excessive considering the tallest mountain in the world (Everest) is 8 848m. Essentially, you can stack 118 Mt Everests on top of eachother and still have room left over. (4512 blocks of Y)

We still need it to go from -30,000,000 to 30,000,000 like the other axis because... *walks away to think of a valid reason*
I like the idea of underground oases with a lava lake in the middle providing light and a river around the outside or vice versa, with trees and plants in between.

All of you guys are completely reaffirming this desire all over again. It must happen!
And regarding underground glowing mushrooms! I was pushing hard for that too back in the day so one of the other CC gang, marcopolo1613, made a small glowing mushroom mod for b1.7.3 to help with that idea.
Some Glowing Mushrooms:
Regarding the potential vertical size of Cubic Chunks universes: The CC Mod started at 4096 blocks, then was very easily upped to 65km, then was about to be upped to 4.2 billion blocks with simple changes. Anything beyond that would have required more extensive changes to Robinton's mod.
I was always in favor of the Mod itself being able to provide as much space as possible and then allowing the user to set smaller artificial limits on a particular world in their settings if desired, I even suggested something like that to notch in that reddit convo. That way everyone gets what they want.
* The Core idea that we were pushing for with the original Cubic Chunks Mod was for it to be as singular in purpose as possible, to not force all kinds of unwanted random "features" onto people just so they could have a larger world, they could just use "MineUp" if that's what they wanted. No; The purpose was simply to provide a larger world, but with a mod that allowed further customization via plug-ins of all sorts, "Terrain/Biome/Domain Plug-ins" being one important sort as well as a "Space/Moonlet" type of plugin and much more. It was to serve as a foundational mod, not an "All-in-one" mod that forced you to have bizarre mobs in your world that you really don't want just in order to have a higher/deeper world.. At least that's how I advised Robinton to approach it and he agreed with me. Hopefully that's what we can still achieve, everyone's dreams not just ones.
** It's all about Adding freedom to each players experience, not taking away from it.
- The Cubic Chunks Mod is back! Be a part of it's rebirth and Development.
-- Robinton's Mods: [ Mirror ] for some of his Mods incl Cubic Chunks Mod, due to DropBox broken links.
- Dungeon Generator for the Open Cubic Chunks Mod
- QuickSAVE-QuickLOAD for the Open Cubic Chunks Mod
Well said. With that argument, there is literally no sane reason not to implement Cubic Chunks.

From what i know from this thread and from being a modder myself, that is highly unlikely. I know they are going to release a vanilla version, then optimize it, then make a version compatible with forge (ive been reading my email notifications for quite some time for this thread). Especially for how much hes doing, creating submods for the good ideas here on this thread is just unrealistic. However, i do imagine many others as well as myself making/porting our mods to cubic chunks and then taking ideas. I cant say i speak for everybody, but thats what im doing.
