Talk:Bedrock Edition Far Lands/Archive 2

This page needs a few additions. I hope to add pictures soon, but the more of you contribute the better, really. More information and anything else you can grab. There's always what the Far Lands used to look like during infdev. I started playing Minecraft during Alpha, so I wouldn't know.

 * I've been doing some research by using Single Player Commands to get farther in the map, and switching to vanilla to make sure it's correct information. I've added a screenshot, and will add more information soon. [[File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png]] 02:47, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I love what this page has become. Thanks. Can you post which level editor you used? --Jonnay 01:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I used Single Player Commands, which is a mod that allows in-game inventory editing, a /tele command, which was very useful for getting deep into the Far Lands and finding the right coordinates, worldedit, and much more. (It's a mod so it's not supported by notch, mojang, the minecraft forums, etc.) [[File:Tjb0607SigIcon.png]] 00:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd like to second Jonnay on this. This page didn't exist last month and now it's fleshed out and full of explanation.  Good job to all the contributors. Jaeil 03:10, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure who switched the size to 31% the size of the circumference of the Earth, but I'd like to know where you got your information. According to Notch, it's different, so now I'm just curious. --GmMkr 23:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The problem was the confusion between the chunk overwrite line and the beginning of the Far Lands. The chunks begin to overwrite at a distance about 25% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. The Far Lands start much, much sooner, and the distance to them is about 31% of the circumference of the Earth (which is roughly 40,000,000 meters). Comparatively, the Far Lands start at 0.008% of the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Ozzatron 23:31, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for clearing that up! --GmMkr 22:14, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

This page is awesome, but it only mentions about half of the real Far Lands. The other half is at the corners (where two walls meet) and is totally different. I'm not recommending a new page but this page would have to be heavily redesigned if we were going to include info on the other part. I've looked into this "corner zone" quite a bit, and it's different enough that the two sections will need separate names. (when I started messing with them I named them based off of their geometry: "the Loop" for the currently discussed part and "the Stack" for the corner area that should probably be added). If anyone's got any good ideas for names, put them here. --Ozzatron 00:36, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
