Question about Minecraft

Felhantin · 03-09-2012, 12:36 PM

So the question is:

Were the worlds before (alpha till beta 1.7) better than those of the full version?

Post your opinions here.

(Also looking for a seed that creates a world more old(alpha till beta 1.7))

This may be a question better asked on the official minecraft forums. But I never noticed a difference either way (it's all buggy). Although the new build height limit increase was a welcome change to the worlds

What do you mean? Were the worlds themselves better looking/more fun to explore you mean?

I didn't play the game in alpha, but I did in beta. The worlds are much better now than then.

I love all the new biomes!

World gen for Minecraft is total ♥♥♥♥, it was a lot better in early Alpha

What was better about it? unintentional Floating blocks?

There were a few neat bugs that were cool in the early version of minecraft, like you could make parts of trees burn forever if you knew how, so my friends and I would commonly have large burning pyres atop our monuments. But those days are over, wood is now properly consumed.

But as for land generation, I think the latest iterations are the best.

Proper beaches, beautiful mountains (especially the one X got in his world), oceans that don't go forever, endless caves with mushrooms and flowers, and snow worlds.

I can agree that endless oceans are annoying, and the lack of mushroom caves is somewhat lame.

I've never really found flowers in caves, however.

Currently its way too flat for my liking and the biomes don't integrate very well with eachother

Shadoww0lf · 03-09-2012, 05:39 PM

There *are* beaches, kinda..

You just have to be lucky enough to find them..

What I don't like about the new biome generation is this:

Desert, Jungle, and Tundra biome.. looks very unrealistic.

I do however like this:

Old generator didn't have this.

IMO, no.

The older land generation didn't have nearly the same features. Caves were cramped and short, there weren't biomes or different trees, or different types of water, no snow in certain areas; it was either no snow world or ALL snow world, mountains and hills did not look natural or breathtaking; they were often impossible to believe formations with floating blocks sporadically around, clay was the single rarest resource for some reason, etc.

TL;DR - The current land generation in Minecraft is vastly superior to the alpha and beta versions.

So you prefer blindingly green grass and vertical drops everywhere?

Yes, actually...I do prefer the old grass over the new.
