Amplified

Amplified, stylized in-game as AMPLIFIED, is a world type with a large range of altitude used in Overworld terrain generation.

This world type affects only the Overworld. The Nether and The End generate normally.



It is recommended for the player to have a relatively powerful (or "beefy", as said in the world type's description) computer to play on Amplified since world generation uses a large amount of RAM, CPU power, and other resources. Otherwise, intense lagging and long loading times can be a problem.

Amplified terrain can also be generated on Legacy Console Edition by selecting the "Amplified World" option when creating a new world (Xbox One Edition and PlayStation 4 Edition only). These worlds may also be transferred to the respective console's to play Amplified worlds on.

Generation
Amplified worlds generate as many large hills and mountains, which dwarf even the mountains biomes seen in default world types, and more often than not reach the world height limit. Deep caverns often reach down to the bedrock layer. Due to extremely steep cliffs and unforgiving terrain, careless players can find it quite difficult to survive in this world type. Certain biomes (i.e. oceans and rivers) may see no obvious change in height. Villages still generate in this world type regardless of how flat the ground is, causing the buildings to generate in bizarre ways.

Trivia

 * This world generation can generate several floating islands, similar to the removed Skylands dimension.
 * The windswept savanna biome, even in the default world type, has an extreme landscape similar to Amplified.
 * This world type was made by complete accident, when Jeb messed up some coordinates.
