So I tried out this biome sphere mod. I liked it.
Then I fell into the abyss below and lost everything I worked hard to get. Rather STUPID of me. So I raged and said YOU SUCK.I saved the modded .jar file but I reverted to the original version to have my usual experience. Since the original file didn't have a modified generator, I was curious what would happen.WARNING: BIG IMAGES, AND THE SNAPS ENDED UP BEING TAKEN AT NIGHT. :(First I spawned and moved ahead. Upon hitting the first biome, everything seemed alright. Nightfall arrived and with it… Rain?Somehow, it started to rain. Now either this is due to what was to start happening, or was intended to happen, but I was closer to a desert biome sphere so i dunno. Mod related problem? Or lack of a mod? I hit the desert biome and everything seemed normal at first. It was dark, and raining, but inside the sphere was safe from any of that - no rain since I was inside the glass bubble. Okay….
Everything seemed as normal as possible. Okay… Moving on, and this time onto a new sphere that wasn't previously generated (as you expand, it generates new chunks to create an "endless" world if you didn't know). I didn't go TOO far in the new world before I changed back to the original UNmodded game so not all spheres were made. And suddenly OMG ITS RAINING ON ME. Wait… What? This should be fully enclosed in glass… how am I being rained on. *looks up* …OMG SOMEONE BROKE IT D:
Okay… that's odd. So I go to explore this new area and… CHUNK ERROR?! OH N- oh wait… I never explored this area before.. it generated stuff and… hmmm…. Error or… something more…?
So I look around, and while I can't see much, I exit the "sphere" off a bridge that was partially generated. I deleted a few invisible fence pieces (maybe a slight error here or there) and I see light from… lava..? And a waterfall? Flowing into the void where it generated the world already? Yep… looks like it's not a bug, but rather minecraft just generating a world like it's supposed to… Although it's pretty damn awesome.
So I return to the partially incomplete sphere and I continue towards the "unexplored" part of the map. I almost fall off the bridge. I look down, and you have the final image.. The "mod" world ends, and the new world begins. Far, far below…
If I didn't have work, I'd totally explore this but I need to get some sleep now anyway..
*can't see anything*
*ragequits out of a blog about minecraft*If I get time tomorrow I'll try to remember to take some epic snapshots in the daytime.
Because avl doesn't explain what he is talking about, and because his pictures are too dark to see anything, here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo2sUe52PVsWhen i take more snapshots, you'll see how it's less about the mod, and more about the interesting results from de-modding minecraft and then continuing to explore the map, making it generate new chunks.
aw great, the minecraft.jar in my minecraft files has changed itself to minecraft.207
I did the same thing a few weeks ago.
@KaBob799 Couldn't just let me feel even SLIGHTLY special, eh? LOL j/k
But yeah. Pretty much look at his pictures and you can see what happened with me.@avl I knew that you were talking about the interactions of the mod-generator and vanilla-generator, but you didn't explain what the mod itself did, and thus didn't explain why it would be interesting. I just wanted to post a video of the mod itself so people would know what you were talking about when you start mentioning biome spheres.
I was just trying to help :/Downloaded and played with the mod for a while. It's pretty sweet.
And by the way, DF. The guy who narrates the video you linked is probably my favorite Minecraft videologger I've seen so far.i second Kilin, i watched a bunch of other videos by him today and they helped cheer me up a lot. i almost have more fun watching other people play Minecraft lol
