I've been looking at the Better Terrain Generation topic and all this goes hand-in-hand with it. You guys should go check that out. It also has some really good pictures of some large terrain that looks like it was done with Cubic Chunks.

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!

OK, but don't spam them, it only makes them mad.

Yea. Earlier someone linked us to a tweet saying "Guys. You know spamming me only makes me less likely to respond?"
Hmm, I'd rather make all the noise values continuous.

Wait, so is Bartosz now maintaining cubic chunks? If he is where is the thread?! iv been waiting for someone to carry on with the mod for awhile now, if it is true this is the best!
Could you link to that thread? Looks REALLY interesting, and I remember seeing it before....

135 biomes. Hmm. Explorers would love it.
What did you mean with number shift?

3 seconds?!
O_O
We wouldn't need a biome for EVERY combination, just some in each vicinity. If it says we need a Combination we don't have, you just chose one of the next closest types. The user wont' know the difference.
New biome IDs wouldn't have to be shifted at all. Give it any ID, but each new biome would have to be mapped to each of the different values. A map of what biomes fit to which combinations would help devs come up with new biome Ideas too - "Oh, we need one with THIS combination. I'll go make one."
And with ExtraBiomesXL and Biomes O' Plenty, along with Vanilla we have 150 already - there are some duplicates, but it seems to spread around the grid pretty good. There's definitely enough to work with out there already.
Explain? Do you mean only 1 noise map? If so, it would be a very boring map.
Yes Please
My Favorite Texture Pack is OVO's Rustic Pack:
I second that request. I looked for a while but could only find the Better World Generation Mod.

THREE SECONDS. I was really frustrated.

Also, by clicking support I pushed this up to 1299! So close...

This is the most awesome suggestion I've ever seen!
And coming from a guy who's seen that Modular Boats thing, that's saying something.
Um, I think you have too many numbers. I wish we had that many supporters, but we don't. But we will, one day...

Within 64 chunks of yourself, blocks are rendered normally. But, between 64 and 80 chunks away, every 2x2x2 of blocks is rendered as a low quality 16x texture, sort of like a 3D thumbnail. Every 16 chunks further, a different amount of blocks are rendered as one. like this:
0-64: 1x1x1
64-80: 2x2x2
80-96: 4x4x4
96-112: 8x8x8
112-128: 16x16x16 or 'Cubic Chunk'
The magic of 3D imagery would make this possible. The computer would take the textures and meld them together into one 16x pixelated piece. The larger cubes would create less lag and more render distance. The trick would be to combine the textures of the outer blocks only into one big transparent block. It would, however, have a second layer that emits the texture of the block that is most present in the larger block, or a meld of the textures if it is an even match.
(this could help with the render problem, and I'm still working on the kinks and loose ends it has)
