Epic Minecraft 0.9.0 Update – New Biomes & Infinite Worlds!

How’s it going guys tundo here Tim bringing you a discussion on infinite worlds and biomes in 0.9.0 and uh this is going to be centered around jungle biomes but um anyway this is all coming from Tomaso’s Reddit feed and the first topic is about uh Johan stating that there’s going to

Be new biomes in the 0.9 update and this guy was asking what everybody thinks about it and this one guy over here says just guessing but it’s probably going to be like all the original biomes except for jungles and um he says that while we may see jungles there are apparently

Like a lot of Hardware problems with them and pretty much anything that would be like normal biomes like the plains the Extreme Hills Tiga deserts and forests are all going to be available and Tom respon is saying exactly we’re going to see uh most of the new biomes excluding jungles and roof forests

Because there’s a problem with transparency and basically any block that has transparency in it like leaves jungles have a lot of leaves and leaves are transparent blocks and they cause a lot of lag and the more leaves there are the lagier the game is so pretty much

They aren’t going to be able to do jungle biomes because of the high density of leaves and he says pretty much you can see all new biomes with the exception of jungles and roofs Forest because of that leaf problem also the world height is going to stay at 128

Blocks I’m assuming it’s because they don’t want any more blocks generating than there already are and not only that but um Pocket Edition is still supported by slower devices so um with more blocks generating it’s just going to cause more lag and they don’t want to create that

Problem but generally Tom says that they have no problem incorporating all of of the other biomes so that means we are going to see pretty much every single new biome from 1.7 excluding the Amplified and jungle biomes uh this next question says uh this may be a dumb question but what new

Biomes uh do what do the new biomes do to save worlds would biomes just integrate into the worlds or would you have to start a completely new one and start all over again if you wanted these new biomes and Tom says that he thinks that the Old Worlds are going to

Continue to use the old Generator um they’re just going to continue to expand infinitely if you want that option and um you’re going to have to create a new world if you want those new terrain generation options so if say I want to continue expanding my let’s play World

Um it wouldn’t have any of the new biomes because it uses the old Generator he also says that um that’s what he has working in the developer version of Pocket Edition so pretty much Old Worlds use the old terrain generator ation uh program and Old Worlds you’re

Going to be able to like toggle whether you want it to generate infinitely or not and they’re still deciding on where they should ask this and how it should be set up but pretty much you’re going to have the option of whether you want your old world to expand infinitely and

Continue using the new generator uh the old Generator or if you just want to keep it the same size so this next Reddit post post is kind of like a complaint for and somebody made a post saying that the only thing that he’s really looking forward to in

0.9.0 was the jungle biomes and why can’t they add them and Tom pretty much explains it again how there’s a problem well the only problem with jungles is the fact that there’s the transparent leaves and jungles don’t run very well on any device unless it’s Cutting Edge

And he says that they could off offer a switch to allow jungles and roof forests to generate in 0.9.0 worlds however how is this going to work when you join Realms because Realms is like a shared server and not everybody who plays on Realms has a Cutting Edge device so um

If some people have that toggled on some people have it toggled off it’ll create problems so they’re mainly leaving it out because um they just want everybody to be able to have the same gameplay experience and that toggle switch is something that they consider but it would cause problems for servers he also

Says that they could add an option to make uh jungle trees by default have non-fancy Graphics like having a separate option for trees and fancy trees lag many people so why not have a non-fancy graphics like default for trees and Tom pretty much says that they don’t want to

Force bad graphics on everybody but they might as well just make jungle leaves non-transparent even on fancy and uh it might work might not and they’re still looking into what they should do to wrap up this news video and discussion about biomes jungle biomes and infinite worlds

Tom says that there’s going to be something exclusive and one is going to make the world end a bit more awesome so I’m thinking that if you don’t have the uh infinite worlds uh option toggled there’s going they’re going to make the world like finish off some sort of Epic

Way and there’s going to be two exclusive and awesome things one’s already in PC Minecraft the other is going to be really cool and it will all make sense later so uh he’s being really vague about these exclusive features and hopefully he’ll shed some light on them

In the future but as for now we don’t know what they are all we do know is that well pretty much anything that I discussed um Old Worlds like 0.8.0 and prior will use the old terrain generation and you can toggle whether you want it to expand infinitely or if

You want to keep it the same size the same thing applies for 0.9.0 worlds but they will use the new terrain generator and they will also include every new biome with the exception of jungle Le what with the exception of jungles roof forests and Amplified biomes also they’re thinking of how they can

Implement jungle biomes without literally ruining the game for everybody there’s also going to be exclusive features but we don’t know what those are going to be anyway this is the end of the update video It’s rather long it was discussion about infinite worlds and biomes which is always going to be long

But it’s really rather informative and I hope you guys liked it anyway thanks for watching if you found it helpful leave a like leave a favorite subscribe more Pocket Edition content and news follow me on Twitter at thunderbow 98 for channel updates and I will see you guys
