I am just thinking big mountains are not a problem if you have alot of space to put them on.
Could you explain a little more.
The max height is 256 blocks - unfortunately you canāt make mountains that big
Ok, so hereās the latest!
Hereās a shot of the current spawn area (e.g. the capital teleport would take you to the center of this):
And a top down overview:
Screenshots of all the biomes, and tweaks since last post:
Oasis:
- Much less likely to spawn next to a jungle
- Gleam is less likely to shine through (shouldnāt be as overpowering)
Desert:
- Stone pillars are smaller, and far less likely to spawn.
Jungle:
- Much more likely to spawn between desert and steppes.
Steppes:
- Moved to a higher altitude.
- More sand coverage.
Mountains:
- More likely to spawn, and more likely to show up as ranges
- More snow.
- Mountains have massive cavern systems; watch your step!
- Mountain caves spawn shrubs w/ gleam stems
World builder bug: Iām using strata to ice cap the mountains (since thereās no minY constraint for substrate); but if I give that strata depth or Y noise, the entire strata disappears for random chunks
Is this already with tweaked vastness/size of the desert and forests?
Yeah, the biomes are much more sprawling now; I just tried to get a spawn point that had a good mix of everything. Hereās what the overall map looks like (the lit up area is what most screenshots above cover):
yellow: oasis
red: desert
green: jungle
purple: steppes
blue: mountain
Iām not sure, for me it still seems rather small for a desert^^ but maybe itās not practical to have bigger bioms?
WeĀ“ll once some fighting mechanics are implemented we could host battles or tournaments there but even if we donāt really āuseā it it would still look amazing.
I think there is no problem with several builds in one mountain since we can build in layers:
Sorry for my paint skills but I think you get what i mean
Of all the deserts in that overview, the one at spawn is literally the smallest. Thatās not necessarily bad, but it might start to feel cramped by the forests when building there.
Hmmm i think this map would be better if the mountain spawn rate is set a bit down, the frequencey of the biome noise is set a bit down making everything somewhat larger. and then maybe just shrink the oasis just a little?
(Also i canāt perform tweaks myself as my mac refuses to coorporate )
Be thinking more about what buildings to feature, donāt worry about where to put them until weāre actually on the ground planning the layout. We may find a better way once we see the world in person.
Thanks to both of your for giving me an understanding.
One last question, What is the world going to be called?
Whatever you want.
Where did you get the names for the other worlds? Are they randomly selected, or is there a system to them?
They are cyphers of famous scientists names or what ever it is called where you jumble the letters up.
Well yeah,I donāt see anything with one mountain,just I think it will seem cramped and smaller than a accurate city. Iām not a very good drawer,but I wish I could show what I see,so you could take from that and build on it.
Picture this,a mountain with 5-6 other mountains around it. In the middle would be the main city build,arena below,etcetera. The other mountains will have little shops and such. We have big bridges connecting them all together.
Sounds like a sort of Dwarven fortress city theme. I like it. Any other ideas for city themes? I suppose as many people talking about cities now, we might as well start brainstorming ideas.
