HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY HEY

Look this up, this game/sim is 4.6^32 cubic lightyears of mostly randomly generated universe free to explore from inside nebulae to the event horizon of black holes. It was created by this awesome russian and it will blow your mind!

You can thank me later

Actually it's roughly the size of Venus (according to notch)

This article was made before Minecraft was released. gamingbolt.com/ten-largest-worlds-in-video-games

It's not infinite, but it's pretty damn close. Constantly going in one direction for an entire 5 years in real life wouldn't even come close to the full size of the Minecraft world.

It is said that it's three times bigger than earth itself.

...Pretty fucking big.

Actually it's possible to reach the "edge" by using extreme-speed flying mods pretty quickly, but you need a strong computer and lots of RAM memory so it won't crash while updating chunks. Those 'edge' areas are called Far Lands. The game gets glitchy as hell as you head towards those, and eventually crashes. You can look it up on the Minecraft Wiki. :)

The limit approaches infinity, are you happy now?

it's impossible to "approach infinity" because infinity doesn't start anywhere, it's endless. if anything has a limit it's nowhere near infinity.

You obviously haven't taken physics or calculus yet, have you?

Bullshit

I call bullshit on your bullshit.

Here, take this.

infinite minus 1

I call bullshit on your calling of bullshit on my bullshit

Neptune's equator is about 30,700 miles around. How long do you think it would take to walk around that?

That's more the size of it's diameter. I't circumference is much bigger. About 2pi times bigger.

2? I meant just pi. Whoops.

People have done it on xbox.

Name a single person that has done it.

You must be one of the single, less educated individuals i've met....

hes not wasting his life doing it...hes counting on the support of his youtube viewers to pay him to do it.

Go back to the kitchen.

So he hasn't done it, so you don't know his name, because no one has done it.

Even though no one has done it, minecraft has rules determined by mathematic algorithms. Some simple math shows that the far lands begin after approximately 820 hours of walking in one direction in minecraft. However, since the far lands have been removed post 1.8 the minecraft world now extends out to 30,000,000 meters in one direction, taking 1960 hours to traverse, or 81 days. While a shit ton of time, far short of the 5 year estimate mentioned.

how bout you read the fucking comment mate. i said 81 days. and thats just radius, edge to edge it would take 162 days. where the fuck did you pull 4 from?

there sure is a whole lot of butthurt going on in this thread.

I fucking love you

please quote it then, because the only times I mentioned were 820 hours (34 days) and 1960 hours (81 days)

And im not seeing how im contributing to all the butthurt considering i dropped by for one comment, dropping some facts from the wiki.

Im seriously not fucking seeing it.

breakdown of my comment:
before 1.8: 820 hours to reach edge of minecraft world
after 1.8: 1960 hours to reach edge of minecraft world

both of those times are far over 4 days and those were the only two timestamps I mentioned, please, enlighten me.

also I stopped by for one comment before you made a comment which is apparantly STILL confusing me.

Before 1.8 it ended at 2.147.480.000 or so, but after 1.8 it ends at 30.000.000.

Did you could "far lands" as the end?

What the fuck is wrong with you dude? He never said 4. So what. the. fuck. are. you. talking. about.

This is good to use as well...


'Ill go now...

Seriously. You tried, failed and now you're pretending that you were trolling? Just stop

"I just trolled you". - You're not a troll then, a troll is someone with enough intellect to disguise it properly who doesn't come out and state such like a five year old attempting to act cool but just ending up looking like a retard.

Read the quote below and you shall have your true answer.

"I'm reverting to stating I'm a troll because I'm just fucking stupid". - The likely motive.

okay, the circumference of neptune is 96,685 miles. say you walk at pace of 4 miles an hours, it would take 24171 hours or about 1007 days to circumnavigate neptune. I dont know where I wrote or where you read that I believe it could be done in 4 days and I'm sorry if that was my error somewhere along the way. but I can guarantee you two things: You cannot travel the equator of neptune in four days and you can reach the edge of minecraft well within a year if always on the move. Im sorry that this has caused so much needless debate, could we put an end to it? on good terms?

Interesting. See, I wanna see in like 10 years or something if anyone has like a server where they filled all that space. Would be interesting to see some people's world sizes. Especially since I'm sure people will play it that long aha.

This man is doing it for charity, go watch his shit, hes hilarious. In his most recent marathon he reached 600,000 blocks out, hes still got a ways to go and the last time he checked his world size was over 2 gigs.

I would just like to add, No where did I see mention of four days, either.
I also was unaware of the far lands removal. DO you know what happens when you reach the end of the world now?

The removal of the farlands was accidental when the terrain generation code was changed for 1.8, but with no plans to reintroduce it. Now the way it works is that the farther you go out the more frequent and large ocean biomes are, by the time you've reached where the original farlands were, finding an island would be like trying to find a monster spawner with a golden apple. at the 30,000,000 mark there is a hard wall where you can go no farther. beyond this point the player can see many disconnected glitchy mountain biome chunks. the Biomes are completely false as no clipping over there shows they have no lighting and have no tangibility. This goes on until 32,000,000 where if the play enters, will not die, but become eternally stuck in one spot, unable to move. the only resolution at this point is the deletion of the world.

Not an infinite playable area. The size is roughly a little bigger than neptune, but because it is random generated, there's no way to catch a solid grasp of it.

Theoretically it is infinite, but a computer powerful enough to handle the size of the map and it's unoptimized coding would be no where near commercially available

But the playable area is not infinite. Yeah, it's roughly the size of neptune, but beyond it's limits are chunks that generate, but without lighting, for you can fall right through them. So the playable area is finite. Google it.

Ah, but. You also have to count that every time you start a new world, it generates completely differently than before. Every time you start a game of just cause for example, it will always be the same thing. But minecraft is always different. So, playable area is infinite.

Well, that's also not true. The possible number of areas is incredibly large, but because the world isn't actually randomly generated (a seed represented by a large number is used), there is no way that Minecraft could be considered infinitely large using that logic.
