What Sparky saw at -50,000 and why you should be concerned.

I made a video but decided not to post it since the content is.. well, too amazing. The pictures don't really give it justice though.

Because you're not there when it's so amazing there.

Maybe Notch should force the generator to go insane starting at 0,0 so we don't have to go that far out before it starts spazzing and making awesome stuff.

14th pic, is that a tree growing out of lava?

Nice catch. The generator must have created the forest and then spawned lava, but it wasn't allowed to move the dirt block for the tree.
Unless lava comes first, in which case why was a dirt block spawned under the tree?
Unless it's a completely random lucky grass block that was not removed by the lava pool and then the forest generator picked it at random. *

So much random... One in a billion find there, Modzy. Or rather, Sparky.



*I told you the generator would spaz if you went too far...

Used a map with the same seed as the MGM server and found this at those cords:

Tree was generated, with lava two blocks behind it, which flowed on to the tree and set it aflame. However, because Sparky generated this chunk while it was raining, the tree was saved from its fiery death until it passed.

Sparky knows what the "far lands" are, right? If so, Sparky should not be overly concerned.

This is so much more awesome. Anyway, I'm headed towards -100,000. We'll see what's there. (Hopefully my coords were not reset this time...)

I really don't think this is good for the server.

Already seen it, though I haven't kept up with it at all.

I added a nether portal and welcome sign at -100,000 0. I also made a safehouse in the treetops on a mountain, and gave myself a bed to sleep there. You should have the fly mod in order to reach the safehouse. It's quite nice at -100,000, although very mysterious. The nether portal links even further away, at -120,000-ish.

What are the coordinates you get at the portal in the nether? Maybe I can make a straight tunnel from this portal back to the other portals in the netherworld.

Although I wasn't looking the entire time, of what I saw, my favorite coordinates are -50,000ish, -95,000ish and of course -100,000ish. At -98,455, there's an amazing mountain that looks fit for a large mountaintop castle. -98,736 has a large ice lake (you should be rather familiar with those already). -99,000 has a pretty cool stone ledge over a diving pool. -99,150 is totally sweet. And -50,000 was incredible... I saw a wolf pack among other really neat things.

If we update the Google map, then you can see the terrain I traveled.
