If it's a mod, it shows more how people care about the effort that was put into something like this and...

Okay I was going somewhere with that but I've lost my train of thought, you get my point though.
also you should check out Tall Worlds

I think where cubic chunks will come in most useful is modding, modders will do amazing things with this and I think the real benefit for mojang would be that modders will use the their plugin API instead of having to rely on 3rd party mod which in some extent would ruin the idea of the plugin API.
Its all depends on how much development time mojang wants to sink into minecraft.

*looks it up*
Huh. I guess that's right. I had no idea
That, and mapmaking. Can you imagine what mapmakers like Hypixel and Reezus (if they were still making maps) could do? O_O
Yup! The only thing that got added from the original CC mod.
Long time, no see!
And occlusion culling won't work, since it's a hit and miss in graphics cards...
I guess we'll have to wait.

Occlusion culling is not necessary; given the nature of the game, we can make many effective visibility optimizations using much simpler and more robust techniques.
I posted something earlier in the life of this thread describing a very fast and simple implementation of visibility culling based around the relationship between the visible faces of a cube and the position of the observer. The simplest version of that implementation involved nothing more than addition and subtraction to resolve visibility.
I would imagine that Cuchaz will probably use a much more advanced implementation of similar principles when/if he gets around to adding visibility culling to his Tall Worlds mod.

But many (possibly most,) of the features implemented in recent updates and snapshots have been community-requested. Mojang knows that it's in their best interest to implement things the community wants.
If the majority of the community prefers adding Cubic Chunks in the next update over adding something equally difficult to code in the next update, Mojang is more likely to implement Cubic Chunks.
Greater awareness is not mostly insignificant. It has a large impact on Mojang's decisions.
I realize that Mojang is a business, and their primary objective is to make money. I knew that Mojang couldn't last long if everyone only has to pay once to have access to Minecraft. I realized that they would have to invent a new source of income, a renewable one. And then they announced Realms. Realms, combined with things like apparel and toys, takes care (mostly) of the renewable income.
As far as we know, Mojang will continue to add new features to Minecraft. Cubic Chunks is possibly one of the most useful things they could implement. The more people request it, the greater the chance they'll implement it. Having a proof-of-concept mod also greatly increases the chances they'll implement it, because most of the coding will already be done.
Raising awareness is still useful. Not because Mojang doesn't know about it, but because the community needs to know about it to pressure Mojang to implement it.
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.
You may have a point.
I like the tall worlds prototype better. Any progress on the two?
I'm back
Nope.

Unfortunately, the entire comment tells us very little that we don't already know - it's still on the table blah blah blah. We can always have fun playing with words though
For example, after saying that Cubic Chunks is "infinity years" away, he tries to assure people that Mojang is still thinking about it, then makes it quite clear that they are actually looking to the community for all of the solutions, while the solutions to all of the issues that he raised have already been given by the community.
Yes, it might be a bit biased, but idc. Triple contradiction ftw!
