Retired StaffThat would be so cool to do that.
I think i was using notepad++. NAW. Imgur derped and the sig broke D: well. Gonna use laz's
You have no idea. That is only the start my friend...
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!

Brilliant!! I'll get the plane tickets. Who all's going?
I'm also known as TANNAR in some places.
Im in.
Plane tickets? For what. Minecon 2013?
Alright, so we got 2 tickets so far.
Nawwww, bro! Tickets to Stockholm! We're going to send smoke signals!
'Sides, Minecon's in Orlando, FL, which is just a six hour drive from me.

Oh. O_O
But still, I support this Idea 100000000000000% I am all about reducing lag on MC's engine, and until now, I haven't found a legitimate way to do so besides reducing the viewing distance. I may downgrade to 1.0 and test out the mod to see how well it works.
We have spent lots of time discussing everything we can think of about this suggestion. That is a valid point about the ore generation, but it would probably be easy for Mojang to solve. Thank you for your support.
That's a really good idea. But we have to have a poster to print out first.
ME! Heck, I'll fly the plane!

101% support. I love it and have told several friends to start spreading the word, because they absolutely loved it too. To whoever did the math: genius.
You're right, actually. Chunks could be set to only start producing a certain ore after a certain World Height was reached. Right now, Diamonds only start generating at 16 below.. since chunks would be 16*16*16, this wouldn't/shouldn't make the transition very difficult at all.
And I know how to get their attention. Put on Elmo helmets and go around eating people's heads. Don't even say anything when they approach you either. Just eat their heads. And inside the heads could be an advertisement for Cubic Chunks.
Absolutely not, lol
Yes!! Can I has co-pilot seat?? :3
Are there any other details on this? I'm not sure if the stuff cited is super, duper credible. Could be wrong, though! Didn't watch the video...

What? I thought flying to stockholm to send out smoke signals was a crazy idea. For the encoded message i would make a 0-Z version of hexadecimal. And have a normal space for the spaces. And punctuations as normal. At least it's crackable. According to community speculations. By firerockerzstudios or something like that. 1.7 will be the API update and 1.8 will have red dragons.
You could go as Jeb's Doppelganger. If you don't know what that is, it's a look alike. And explain it to him that-a-way.
Thank you for your support, and for telling your friends about it.
Good point about the diamond generation, and I think the elmo head idea would only frighten them, so we shouldn't use it unless they say they will absolutely NEVER put Cubic Chunks in Minecraft. (God forbid.)
You CAN has co-pilot seat!

So, doppelganger then?
Yes. I infer that it means that we'll have someone resemble Jeb and go?
This is pretty much the only way to do it. Basically, each chunk is allocated a list of ores that can spawn in it, with a certain chance of these ores actually spawning. Normally, the list of available ores would be determined by height, but we could also add factors such as; biome, world type, terrain features at that x/z, and so on.
Anyway, Cubic Chunks divides the world into distinct vertical elements. Even though this may require some aspects of the world generator to be rewritten, it opens up a huge number of opportunities for Mojang expand the game in ways that the current system does not allow.
Eating people's heads is a little extreme... I'd say that fire would be a real head turner, but it would get you arrested for terrorism... or shot. Fireworks would be even more effective, but letting them off in a building packed with teenage children would definitely get you shot, dragged into a disguised van, and then sent to an isolated detention facility.
