How many more players could there be? It has to be down to a trickle by now because most people who are going to play probably already play.
Well there As of March 26, 2014, it is estimated That the population of earth numbers 7.162 billion as documented by the united states census Bureau. Mind you some areas do not have access to internet or computers, And you have to remove the amount of people so that it is more on scale of family groups of random people. still that's at the very least several billion copies that can be potentially sold.

I like the way you think.
As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
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.
Its not really that off topic. We are discussing why Mojang seems to blow this suggestion off. Plus it keeps involvement of the supporters. The least they could do is throw it in as a potential future update so it will at least be on the wiki.
Um excuse me, but i would like to point out that i do indeed work for my stuff, i always go to work with my dad, and most of the time he just sits in the truck and reads while i put the big heavy ass garage doors in, so i earn mostly everything i get. And im 16 so dont start going on about child labor laws and all that garbage. Ill be done with the off-topic stuff now.
White coats to bind me, out of control
I live alone inside my mind
World of confusion, air filled with noise
Who says that my life's such a crime?
Trapped in this nightmare
I wish I'd wake
As my whole life begins to shake
four walls surround me
an empty gaze
I can't find my way out of this maze
'Cause I don't care
Fall in, fall out
Gone without a doubt, help me
I can't take the blame
They don't feel the shame
It's a madhouse
Or so they claim
It's a madhouse
Oh, am I insane?
My fears behind me, what can I do
My dreams haunt my sleep at night
Oh no, won't learn their lesson, white fills my eyes
And only then they see the light

Curse PremiumGrum mentioned they didn't have any world format changes planned for 1.8...
I was just saying that it bothers me when people flaunt money that they haven't earned. I wasn't trying to point fingers or take a shot at anyone
What we know is that the Mojang developers are conservative. This is justified, as they have many constraints that they have to work with (compatibility, community expectations, etc). What it means is that they are not about to make huge changes, unless those changes are necessary or will draw in a significant number of new players. Unfortunately, CC is a risky thing for Mojang to work on. It would require a lot of work and could easily break a lot of things, but is not essential¹, and would not bring many more players to the game.
Additionally, I actually think that Mojang are probably waiting for someone to get a mod working (that's not to say that they will copy paste it straight into the vanilla). Kind of like... feasibility analysis and drafting. If someone gets a mod working, Mojang can look at it, see the community response, and get a feel for what they need to do to make Cubic Chunks work how they want. In other words, it will show them what might break, and whether it will be worth fixing.
So in a nutshell; the Dev team is conservative, and CC is not essential. This means that they do not have to prioritize it, and have plenty of room to wait and see what the community can come up with first. Why have three people brainstorm something when you have THOUSANDS of people discuss it and test it for you?
¹ "essential" is the key word. I personally think that CC would be fantastically amazing. However, even though CC would make the game better; the game hasn't done too badly without it for about half a decade.

also you should check out Tall Worlds
Holy crap its actually been 5 years. Wow I remember 4chan introducing me to it in indev. Was there a height limit back then? I don't remember there being one seeing as I climbed a forever tall building. How did that version handle lighting?
Yeah, I know, I was just trying not to start a flame war
I believe in the Invisible Pink Unicorn, bless her Invisible Pinkness.
it had a height limit.
Well then i think barteks or whoever is working on could possibly release another build when he is done working on it? you know, so the community can take a look for themselves, i mean yeah demo videos are great and all, but it means so much more to actually be able to work with it and stuff :I

Curse PremiumDemo videos are only proof that someone is working on a mod. They're not meant to be the end result. If you want to get a working mod faster, then help someone build it. Or just wait for someone else to do it for you.
English is not my first language, sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes

I'd like to think he just means go from 1.8 straight to a "legit" 2.0 because of an overhaul like this, but considering how many other people on the forums just insist that after 1.9 will come 2.0 and not 1.10, I just can't bring myself to believe that.
