Minecraft Forums

I've been wanting to post back here for a while, just didn't feel like doing the thread-necroing myself. I missed having a forum to talk to.

Unfortunately we don't really have much to talk about right now. I think the thread was abandoned before Rainbow Rocks though, so that's always up for discussion.

Also, I still do art guys! But because I'm lazy I haven't scanned much of my recent stuff in, so have what is pretty much copies of the Rainbow Rocks end-credits concept art. And my attempt at Octavia done in that style.



Vinyl



Sunset Shimmer



Octavia



As always, feedback is appreciated.

I really hope the images work for anyone else, MCF has really changed the layout... again.

It's been forever since I've posted here. Mainly because I can't seem to find a continuous topic to discuss, which isn't a really good reason to lurk.
Since it seems like AaronMK is the only one posting art as of now, I'll share this for a different style of drawing. And for it to be criticized, because that is something that's useful.
Sorry for the lines, it was drawn in a composite notebook, as that's all I really have to draw in now.
Anyways, criticism is always appreciated, if I actually remember what's been pointed out I try to apply it next time I draw something, so it's nice to have feedback.

To be honest, I don't own any pony merchandise. If I was to get something, I'd probably just get a shirt. I usually wear a jacket anyway, so it wouldn't be too noticeable. Although I would like some sort of solid figure, I doubt I'd ever actually get one.

Quote from RedFourteen

Lauren Faust has stated that she will not outlive her friends. There was quite a bit of discussion on the topic at the time. Another point is that is a 3 part episode that continues in season 4 so we don't know much at the moment. Oh the suspense =P

Well, at least we get Equestria Girls to entertain us while we wait for Season 4.
Don't know if this was a dead topic, but I'll resurrect it anyway!

To avoid the topic that is My Little Human: High School is Magical, how does anyone think the next two episodes will go?
Honestly, I haven't given this much thought at all.
Also, think about how many ponies have Celestia and Luna outlived. They're getting along fine (except for that Nightmare Moon incident).

The sarcastic half of me would like to pretend I'm also a newcomer to this thread, but the truth is I just hardly ever post.
Quick question, does anyone use the MCF Bronies steam group anymore? Or is the only reason I'm still in it so I can stalk everybody on Steam.

Also, last time I posted, I got no feedback (or if I got any I didn't see it, sorry) so here's my most recent collection. Which is somewhat old now, but I can't be like MrBossMan over there posting imagedumps every other post.
Feedback is greatly appreciated.

There hasn't been an image dump this page! Now's my chance to post pictures...
If this line caused people NOT to see the images, I've changed it. Sorry, just wanted to be funny.

Sorry if this causes lag for some people, I just didn't want to post them on a page that already had pictures. And feedback would be nice.

Here ya go~

Thanks, I couldn't find these, although that may just be me being bad at searching for things.

Quote from Blazevoir

Meh... I honestly don't care about the drama anymore. Whatever happens, happens.

Anyway, have some foal Tavi and Vinyl:

That made me laugh more that it should have. It really did.
Or did it?
Now, to alacorn (ala = wing in latin, corn = horn, do the math) drama.
Also, I don't really think this is a spoiler because it was posted around the season 2 finale , but I'll spoil this anyway.

Don't ask; I just grabbed this from EqD, lol.

If you don't like being talked to don't make statements. And spoil that pic. NAOW!

Quote from MrBossMan

Welp. I listened to "Raise This Barn" again, and I now love it. My first issue with it, and one that still irks me to an extent, is that the lyrics are a bit dumb. But I realized... really, I'm one to talk (though Caravan Palace can't be blamed too much because they're French; and, their one French song is actually rather poetic when translated).

It's now on my playlist, and I've listened to it many times today. But I have a problem with counting down from four instead of counting down, and then breaking into "Coming Home" by Peter Schilling.

I second this.


Then take your own freaking advice and go if you don't like to be around people with opinions other than your own. We're fine with you disagreeing with us so long as you don't be a condescending jerk about it.

Edit: Wait, fun fact time! Apparently there's a canon G1 giraffe character.

I'm really hoping they put a giraffe in FiM. They're the cutest.

Would you mind explaining what you don't like about the lyrics? Or do you simply think that singing about raising a barn is a dumb subject. Also, I really am liking you leaving every post with an image. I wish I could do that. Also, I showed my friend (who isn't a brony) and my cousin the pony with milkshake (in this case it was Ditzy Doo) and the first thing my friend asks is "Why is she sucking on her milkshakes?"
I don't want to seem like I'm just typing for the sake of typing, and I'd leave with a picture, but I have no real drawings as of now, so I'll just say goodbye.

Quote from Dinh AaronMk

I'mma drop this:



And because it's relevant:

I don't know if I am being stupid, but who is meh? It looks like it may be Luna, but I don't know.
I would post a picture, but it's hard to draw when you constantly have teacher yelling at you for having a sketchbook.
So have a random connection to a random subject instead.
Also, I don't really have a shelf of nerdiness. And I haven't posted in a while. Sorry.

Supporting this suggestion
Special thanks

[spoiler=Tl:dr]Q: Won't this increase lag?
A: Absolutely not. The title of this suggestion and big red letters at the top of this post aren't lying. If you want to know how, then I suggest you actually read this post.

Q: Will this change terrain? Will this break existing worlds?
A: No. Terrain change is not necessary. Existing worlds can be converted fairly easily with a process described later in this post.

Q: How can sunlight or rain work with infinite vertical space?
A: I suggest you read Coping with sunlight, because it's too complex for a tl;dr.

Q: I have a different question but still don't feel like reading this post. What do I do?
A: Too bad, read the FAQ. I put way too much work into this for the entirety of it to be ignored.[/spoiler]

Overview:

In Minecraft, the sky is the limit - literally. It doesn't matter how many thousands of blocks a player has traveled, or what dimension they're in, or even if they're playing in creative or survival, the highest they can ever build is up to a height of 256. Why is that? If Minecraft can have a world that's infinite in the north, in the south, in the east, and in the west, why can't that world be infinite up and down too?

In Minecraft's earliest days, in Classic and Indev, the world was not infinite in any direction. This was because the entire world needed to be generated at the same time, and the entire world needed to be simulated at the same time as well. This led to a conundrum - the bigger the world, the more it lagged.
Notch didn't like this. He knew his players liked to explore and build large creations, so he found a way to make the world truly infinite. When the Minecraft '' class='bbc'>Infdev came out, it brought with it truly infinite worlds. Suddenly, players could travel hundreds of thousands of blocks in any direction, and never encounter a barrier, or become too laggy.
The Infdev update brought about a very large change to Minecraft worlds to accomplish this feat. For the first time, instead every world being just a single huge piece, they were broken up into a two-dimensional grid of pieces, called chunks. Through breaking the world up into pieces, this 'chunk system' enabled infinite worlds by letting Minecraft create new pieces and simulate them only when it needs to.

Why does that not apply to the vertical axis? Because the type of 'chunk system' Minecraft uses right now is a linear one, which, by using only a two-dimensional grid to map out chunks, means that it is impossible for chunks to stack on top of one another, and by extension, meaning that a single chunk must cover the entire vertical space. This brings back the problem that the Infdev update was supposed to eradicate, now only with chunks, instead of an entire world; the bigger a chunk is, the more laggy it is. You can't just increase the height limit and make chunks taller, because it will become laggier, and laggier, and laggier to do it.
That's why, to fix this, Minecraft must change over to a cubic chunk system. Under this system, 16³ block chunks are aligned on a three-dimensional grid, completely eliminating maximum height as an aspect of lag.

The immediate benefits:
•Minecraft worlds become as virtually infinite vertically as they are horizontally: The absolute limit being Y = ±30,000,000.
•A large FPS increase: Alpha testers report an FPS increase of 100~200%.
•Increase in running capability: Computers running Minecraft on Tiny render distance will handle only 30% the blocks they do now.

The possible features:
•Spherical render/load distance: Reduce handled blocks by up to 30% by cutting corners made of unneeded chunks.
•Server chunk occlusion/exclusion: Reduce bandwidth usage and defeat hackers by only sending data for visible chunks.
•Three-dimensional biomes: Save biome data per chunk rather than per block column, create volcanoes with magma chambers, underground rivers, tropical skylands floating over icy taigas, and more.

The disadvantages:
•Unloaded gravity-pause: Falling non-player entities and fluids will be forced to pause their fall if they reach unloaded chunks, but will resume falling when those chunks are loaded.
•Slow falling-pause: Players with slower computers and smaller render distances will have falling occasionally paused as they fall into unloaded chunks, until new chunks can be loaded.

The problems:
•Current sunlight and rain calculation methods cannot work with infinite vertical space: The solution to this is described here.
•Current BiomeDecorator cannot work with multiple vertical chunks simultaneously: The BiomeDecorator code must be altered to function correctly with this, or removed.
•Current cave generation method is executed an extra time for each vertical chunk created simultaneously, leading to lag spikes on world generation: Cave generation's method must be altered to suit this system more.
•Current grass/dirt generation algorithm forces additional chunk requests when chunks are loaded, causing chunks to load slower than they should: This algorithm must be replaced with something else.

Changes in how things work:

Obviously, the implementation of this new chunk system will change quite a few things. These changes are mostly either necessary or in the interest of increased efficiency. Such changes are categorized and explained below.

How worlds will be stored:
[spoiler]How the current storage works, and what changes:
Interestingly enough, the current method of storage, the Anvil format, is derived from the storage method that the original Cubic Chunks mod used. The Anvil format stores individual chunk as a series of 16³ quasi-cubic chunks. These 'fake' cubic chunks allow for easier reference of specific data, but they still can't be separated from each other, meaning that it fails to reap the full benefits of this system. Even so, the change allowed Mojang to double the maximum height with no performance hit. Chunks are stored in groups of 32², inside 'MCRegion' files, for a total of 1024 chunks.
By nature, cubic chunks does away with the 'quasi-cubic' nonsense. In terms of chunk grouping, instead of using groups of 32³ chunks, new "3DRegion" files would contain groups of 16³. This means each 3DRegion file contains 4096 chunks, four times as many as MCRegion files. However, each 3DRegion contains only one fourth the amount of blocks. For per-chunk positional metadata, 3DRegion files would use the same number of bits as MCRegion files, after compression. Calculations show that the same area encompassed by a single MCRegion file would consume 64 kilobytes of extra space with 4 3DRegion files, which is nothing.

Converting existing worlds:
Most people are probably wondering something like "But won't this totally destroy all existing worlds?". Absolutely not; conversion could not be simpler. When a non-cubic world is loaded after the implementation of this system, a conversion process will begin and convert the entire world at once(To avoid making chunk loading take longer during play). First, all existing MCRegion files will be divided into quarters to create 3DRegion files. Then, all existing chunks are divided into sixteenths using the quasi-cubic properties to identify boundaries. After that, conversion is done.

The "isEmpty" flag optimization:
A 1-bit flag is added to each chunk, named "isEmpty". If the chunk consists of 100% air blocks, this bit is 1, any other case makes it 0. When the bit is 1, all data for the chunk besides the isEmpty flag is deleted and ignored, which reduces filesize. Empty chunks are never loaded, and locations where they occur are merely simulated as entities reside in them. The chunk will only load when something requires saving inside it.[/spoiler]

Changes to terrain, ores, etcetera:
[spoiler]Terrain:
By default, nothing will change. Small bits of terrain generation code need to be reconfigured to work properly with Cubic Chunks.

Biomes:
By default, nothing will change.

Ore generation:
By default, nothing will change.

Structures:
By default, nothing will change.

The Void:
After conversion to Cubic Chunks, the void and bedrock layer will still exist and generate as they always have. However, the void(Not the bedrock layer!) will not exist as a hard limit and is able to be moved, but not removed, by editing an associated NBT data tag inside a world's level.dat. This feature, that allows for increasing the maximum depth, is intentionally disabled without external programs, to prevent terrain change of any sort. It is intended to be used by experienced mapmakers and world generation mods only.

Superflat settings:
Existing superflat worlds will not change. However, new superflat worlds will gain a new decoration parameter, 'void'. Inclusion of this parameter will cause the void to form below the lowest defined layer. Exclusion of it will cause all layers below the lowest defined layer to copy the settings of that layer.[/spoiler]

Coping with sunlight:
[spoiler]There used to be a solution here, but it wasn't deemed good enough by Jeb. Suggest solutions in this thread.[/spoiler]

Changes to servers:
[spoiler]Settings:
There's a setting inside the Server.properties file called 'max-build-height'. The setting makes it impossible for any player to place or remove blocks above that height.
With the implementation of Cubic Chunks, a new setting named "maximum-generation-depth" would be added. The void, bedrock layers, and magma layers will generate normally at and above the Y level designated by the value of this setting.

Chunk occlusion/exclusion:
Using the raytracing methods already available in the code and used for explosion calculations, servers can identify which chunks are visible to a player, within safe assumptions, and only send the data for those chunks. This both reduces bandwidth usage, and cripples the usefulness of X-Ray cheats.[/spoiler]

Render/Load distance alterations:
[spoiler]After the implementation of Cubic Chunks, view distances' radii will apply to the vertical axis too. This reduces handled blocks in the cases of tiny and short render distances, and increases them in the cases of normal and far render distances. This can be optimized by utilizing a spherical render distance instead of a cubic one, which would reduce handled blocks in all distances except Far.[/spoiler]

---

Frequently Asked Questions:

[spoiler=FAQ]Q: This is impossible.
A: No it's not. See below.

Q: Is this available as a mod?
A: Not yet! But it will be!

Q: I like X-ray! What if I don't want it to be broken?
A: First of all, breaking X-ray hacks will only be possible to do in multiplayer. That said, the system that would break X-ray would be possible to disable by the server owner. If the owner doesn't disable the system, then they don't want you using X-ray, and you should not be doing what the server owner doesn't want in the first place.

Q: I play on a PvP/Anarchy/Raid/Faction server. Won't this system let people pillar up into the sky and create a base thousands of blocks in the air and never be found?
A: No.

Q: I like Minecraft's current height limits. What if I don't want to have an infinite sky or infinite underground?
A: If this system is added, all worlds will not automatically gain an infinite underground. As stated below, the Void will remain in all worlds, even after the conversion to Cubic Chunks. The ability to remove the Void will simply be there. As for infinite space in the sky, the current build limit is over one hundred blocks above any terrain that vanilla Minecraft can possibly generate. It is ENTIRELY your decision on whether or not you take advantage of this height. If you play on a server, like stated above, the server owner can set a maximum build height. If s/he doesn't, then don't play on their server - you don't play on servers where the server owners allow things you don't like. Why would you play on an anarchy server if you hate being stolen from and killed?

Q: Will this affect Redstone at all?
A: No. This system will simply make it possible to make larger redstone circuitry than before.

Q: Won't this break existing worlds?
A: No. Existing worlds can be easily converted by dividing each MCRegion file into 4 pieces, then slicing the existing 256 block-high chunks inside them into 16 individual chunks.

Q: Won't this affect mods? Won't mod authors have a hard time updating their mods?
A: The answer to this question depends solely on the answer to the following two questions: Do parts of the modification code rely on chunk data/metadata? Does the mod author want to take advantage of the features of the new chunk system? If the answers to the first and second question are both "No", then updating a mod to this system should be very easy and quick. If the answer to the first question is "Yes", then those parts of the code will need to be rewritten somewhat, but in most cases, the changes should be fairly quick and easy. The only time that it should be hard to update a mod to this system, is if the answer to the second question is "Yes".

Q: Won't this require a total rewrite of the mod API if that's released first?
A: No. Whether or not even a small part of the mod API needs to be rewritten depends on the way that it is implemented and whether or not there are API inclusions for chunk handling and other chunk-related behavior.

Q: Could a player fall into unloaded chunks if chunks aren't loaded fast enough?
A: No, they could not, and for several reasons. Minecraft has a terminal velocity, though it might not seem like it. This velocity is slower than it should take to load new chunks below the player. In cases with exceptionally slow computers, even if the player did manage to reach an unloaded chunk, their fall would be paused until that chunk can be loaded.

Q: What would happen when water, sand, or a mob falls into an unloaded chunk?
A: Nothing. The water/sand/mob would freeze in place until the chunk is loaded and it can continue moving. You can already see this same thing happening on the horizontal axis.

Q: What will happen to the Void?
A: It will still exist, along with all its effects. The only difference is that the Void is no longer a hard limit and it can be moved. After the conversion to Cubic Chunks, the Void's location will be stored in a world's ' class='bbc'>level.dat, and this location can be changed with NBT editing tools. When and where the Void exists, chunks will cease to generate.

Q: Will this affect terrain?
A: No. However, terrain generators will gain the ability to use infinite height.

Q: Will this affect ore generation?
A: No. Ore is a part of terrain generation. As stated above, terrain will not be changed.

Q: Won't all current terrain generators be incompatible with this system and need to be rewritten?
A: No. Terrain generators work independently of chunks. When a chunk is generated for the first time, it calls the terrain generator and receives a specific section of the resultant terrain to save inside itself. Because of this, some custom terrain generators can generate steep terrain all the way to Y256, where you can experience a large, flat cut-off. Since there are no chunks above Y256 to call the terrain generator for terrain, no terrain exists there.

Q: What would happen if there's a huge solid ceiling so far above you that it is unloaded? Wouldn't you just see the sky, just with everything being completely dark?
A: Yes. This already happens on the horizontal axis, and it is an issue with sky rendering, not this chunk system. As such, this has nothing to do with this suggestion. Please do not post about this.

Q: If you go deep underground, will your plants grow/ores smelt/animals grow?
A: No, because those chunks would be unloaded, just as if you had walked far away. This is a flaw with any chunk system, regardless of shape. It is a necessary evil that allows Minecraft to have infinite worlds. The only way to fix this would be to introduce a separate new system that works with chunks as they are loaded and unloaded. This suggestion deals with the chunk system itself, and not sister processes. Because of that, that is outside of the scope of this suggestion. Please do not post about this.[/spoiler]

[WIP] The Cubic Chunks Mod! (Tall Worlds Mod):

Cuchaz has taken it upon himself to bring us the glorious Cubic Chunks, since Mojang refuses to do so.

Cuchaz is using a API of his own creation to help assist in the making of this mod, and he's quite far along, as seen in these two tech demo videos:
[spoiler=T-Demo 1: Vertical chunk loading][/spoiler]
[spoiler=T-Demo 2: Broken height cap and no lag!][/spoiler]
With the basic functionality in place - a complete overhaul of the basic chunk system, and height limit removed - this whole concept can already be considered proven. What remains is making sure everything else functions correctly under the new chunk system. In any case, stay tuned for future updates if it interests you(If it doesn't, then you are the weakest link - goodbye!).

You can follow the mod's development in much more depth in its very own topic!

Note: Many calculations and information can be found among the many posts of this topic. There are too many for me to cite here, but if you wish, you can search for them yourself.

Problem/Setting:
Some of you might have tried to test out the firework when it was released in the snapshot or in the full version in creative. You opened the menu searched for firework and were shown "Firework Star" and "Firework", you clicked the firework and brought it to your hot bar, when you closed the menu and tried it you waited in awe for the explosion of colour that comes with fireworks, but you were greeted with a fizzle, you may have tried again thinking Mojang made it so there is a chance of the firework failing but the same result, you may have held the right click button, but again, same result. You then probably opened the creative menu, got out a crafting table, plopped it down, then had to assemble it your self, switching from the creative menu to the crafting table, which can be a slight hassle. Or maybe you have encountered hassles with dying leather armour, or even banners. In the 1.9 update there appears to be shields customized with banners, sure it is only a two item recipe (banner + shield), but shouldn't that mean that there should be a quick and easy way of accessing the crafting table?

Solution/Suggestion:
I suggest a 3 by 3 crafting grid was added to the creative menu, this will reduce the hassle and slightly reduce the time of making fireworks or other things which have the same problem. The change wouldn't be massive and would not really affect anyone negatively. It's one of those things that should have been added.

IMAGE 1: (I forgot to include the output for the grid. I had to re-size the grid to make it fit, which may lead to problems)

IMAGE 2 By Wircea: (Always on the right side of the creative menu)

Image 3 By Apocalypsing: (Separate Crafting Table Tab)

Pros :

• Easier crafting of different types of fireworks
• Reduced time of crafting fireworks or other items which follow the same rule
• Less hassle
• Solution for the con: Mojang can easily move the crafting grid to its own page on the menu. Mojang has also made HD texture packs downloadable without patcher by resizing the textures (not sure if it would still be HD), so the same could be down to the images.
• You can dye leather armour without switching back and forth from crafting table go menu (use thought of after EnellGmz's comment)
• Easier for snapshot videos as they have access to a crafting grid while showing recipes
• For the resizing thing when I played Minecraft on the 360 and I saw the output item of the survival inventory is larger and it expands the icon. (Though, I think it was double the size, so if it was on the survival inventory on the pc version it would have to be half the size.)

Cons:

• To fit the crafting grid in the menu I had to resize it, so unless Mojang has a store of mini images or put it on a separate page of the menu this can't work.

"So, I was mining today and stumbled upon beautiful natural glowing crystals in an underground ravine!"


"...Then I investigated a red glow I could see creeping through a tunnel shaft and found myself in the middle of a zombie hive! o__O"



Well, those are some of the things we could be saying if colored glass and colored light were added to MC!
(images above are not real screenshots. They were Photoshopped by me to show what MC could be like if this topic's proposals were implemented)

===============================================================

[NOTE]Colored light and glass is something I believe all minecrafters should be able to enjoy with each other without the midleman or knowledge of mod installing. So for that reason, this suggestion is directed towards vanilla. We do however welcome mods here since it's said that "Colored light isn't possible." -_^

===============================================================

Here is how it could work:

Color Glass Blocks & Changing The Color of Light


Colored Glass and Colored Light are features I have wanted to see in Minecraft for some time. I wanted to see these features implemented so bad that I have come up with some ways it could be used in the game; it would greatly increase building potential and the ability for a player to customize an atmosphere by modifying the color of light.
