1.8 Updates: First Ravines, Now Rivers

In this recent tweet, we can see the first released image of a game-generated river! It's a safe bet at the moment that it will face similar height restrictions as default water generation, but that may change in time - after all, we already have legitimately generated waterfalls!

We will keep you posted as more information about rivers is released.

I hope there will be cascades in the rivers (for rafting) AND some sort of stream in it... that would be epic!

Now I can make small bridges that go across rivers instead of huge ones that go across oceans. AWESOME!
