  • It's great to see that the chunk blending works so well, even with the farlands.
  • @Pikaahhh
    An ice spikes biome around old chunks would be sick, I wouldn’t even be disappointed if it looked like that
  • @breadisyummy_
    I want “this crap” to be a setting because it’s fun to look at no blending
  • I love that in the first minute of the video, he is already asking "Are there limits, and how can I break them"
  • @Krauser8882
    I really love how the Farlands and superflat world show off how the game processes the biome blending. Seeing it pushed to it's limits, and the really cool terrain possibilities within these fringe scenarios is something I never would have thought of without a video like this.
  • @ScenicFlyer4
    I love how the farlands look blended as well as the superflat to normal. Imagine having oceans that deep in vanilla. That would be awesome.
  • @webster1211
    The peaceful map version you showed at 9:14 that's completely surrounded by ocean looks really neat. It's like you're on your own personal island.
  • @yeetyeet3279
    I don’t know, guess we’ll have to find out by watching the video
  • Oh I didnt even think about the repercussions of this, cant wait to see what happens
  • @TwinShards
    This new bleending mechanic has open so many doors. You can literally make a custom map with biomes where you want them to be by cherry-pick seed with biomes at specific location or how that biome look like and force it with a different seed and repeat. The possibility are endless.
  • @vanderan
    Glad to see that it doesn't try to blend old chunks. Of course, in classic AntVenom style, ya try to break it. This "break" is honestly one of the coolest things I've seen with Minecraft generation, it's honestly cool enough for me to say that I hope Mojang doesn't fix it.
  • @Dannyxv8
    That ice spikes floating island blending is one of the coolest things I've seen from Minecraft. The blending is just astonishing at how seamless it is.
  • @Shalz
    1.18 really makes me want to start a hardcore world. I've never done it despite having played the game since 2011. Really interesting video, great job!
  • @deldarel
    When it's almost antvenom-proof, the devs really went above and beyond to make sure it works well for everyone.
  • @littlegoat713
    Ah- nice to see you can technically make custom scenarios when porting a 1.17 world into 1.18 Want only 1 island amongst an endless see? Or maybe set your 1.17 base in a 1.18 location and see how the world treats it? This is super cool!
  • @DeSinc
    I'm going to update my 1.13 world to 1.18 and use mca selector to delete all the unexplored chunks to regen them as 1.18 chunks so people can have fresh chunks to find. I saw this kind of massive world changing update coming years ago so I set my world border to 5000 so that it could be expanded for this very type of update. of course, when the plugins all get UPDATED that is... see you in 6 months time when 1.19 is already announced
  • @mcnoobz
    sure hope nothing breaks in minecraft this time. luckily antvenom only makes things work in minecraft, if he broke stuff that would be bad
  • @bobuccman1424
    but have you thought of forcing every single biome in a small area in a chessboard shape
  • @Acid_Ash
    Waking up to this update made me so happy 😁 There should be a farlands preset for world generation
