Someone Just Loaded 60,000,000 Render Distance in Minecraft, For The First Time

So i’ve been playing minecraft since 2012. what year did you start playing what got you hooked to me it was the idea that every part of the map was editable it really takes the phrase sandbox game to the next level since you can just mine the entire world down if

You want to well not the entire world according to people on quora.com that would take 11 billion years wait this guy’s basing that off the idea that it would take you almost two days straight to mine down one chunk to bedrock that is the most off estimate i’ve ever heard

With efficiency 5 diamond pick and haste 2 beacon you can insta mine stone and probably crush that in an hour actually let’s test it So i did that in 35 minutes if you’re mining multiple chunks it’s like a bargain sale on efficiency so that plus getting faster you could maybe narrow it down to 20 minutes per chunk and that’s a lot better than what this guy said 1.8

Days my ass okay so then if you do all the math it turns out to be 164 million years to mine the whole world much better gotta lay all those beacons down first though maybe add another 50 million years for that but if you were to stay in good health and live

100 years long enough for science to make medical advancements sufficient enough to make human beings lives last centuries which extends your life long enough to make it to the point where we can figure out how to transfer your brain contents and consciousness into a machine at that point you would be immortal and

Could construct a spaceship around your central consciousness database and explore the universe forever as a conscious lone technological space whale but it presumably takes millions of years to get from one galaxy to the next you might get a little bit bored so mining the entire world in minecraft

Might be one of the things you do during the wait to pass the time it would also be nice to be able to see the entirety of your progress during this little endeavor something that we’ve all dreamed of since day one loading the entirety of a minecraft world visually

To see what it all really looks like well i’m here to tell you that on may 4th 2021 it was achieved for the first time ever there you go this is the entire minecraft world zoomed really far out but what we’re looking at right now is hard to contemplate it’s

All of minecraft the entire 60 million by 60 million plot of terrain generated from world border to world border but how is this possible like most seemingly insurmountable problems a smart guy found a clever solution this is porkchop just look at that profile avatar delicious he spends his spare time

Making the things that minecraft desperately needs he’s the one who had this moment on live stream while programming how this breakthrough happened is actually simpler than you would think most games with large maps can generate a huge amount of terrain that you can see from a distance without

Any issue hell they were doing it in 2003 with spider-man 2 you could see everything from the top of the empire state building look at that the reason why they can do this with little to no extra hardware power is because the further away the map material the more

Simplified the visual appearance kind of the same way normal vision works if you have good eyesight you can make out the micro textures in a footprint in mud on the top of a mountain if your eye is six feet away from it but if you’re looking

At the same spot from 0.6 miles away you’re not gonna make out you’ll just see the color brown or green video games have generators that mimic this real life phenomenon by reducing the amount of pixels rendered for terrain based on the distance of how far away you are minecraft doesn’t have an engine

For this that’s why the computer resources for loading and sustaining terrain gets so demanding when you go to larger render distances anything more than a couple hundred meters in each direction and computers one by one just start croaking depending on their specs loading a mountain in minecraft will show you 100

Level of detail for every block no matter how far away you’re standing from it thus the load demand for maintaining that climbs exponentially the more you increase the radius that’s how minecraft render distance is so limited it’s so stupid most games certainly any games that feature larger open world

Maps have this implemented minecraft blows them all away one of the coolest most infinite games ever that needs this the most and there’s no indication that they ever even started working on it but one man one legend decided to change that all right let’s talk about this mod

In action it’s current capabilities and what’s been accomplished first off if you’re like me and using a mac don’t bother i’m no tech genius but porkchop says apple hasn’t updated something called opengl since like 2006 and this is hardware so there’s no getting around

It as for now i can only enjoy this mod vicariously but this mod can actually generate all of your preloaded chunks on many different versions but what porkchop is specifically wanting to develop is the ability to represent unloaded chunks visually which is what is accomplished in the base cubic chunks

Engine that’s been created aside from the incredible shots of terrain that stretches endlessly enough to mess with your perspective of depth people have shown some horrifying sights either by attempts at loading shaders or strange cubic world gen presets represented on huge scales there’s even this clip that shows something looking like the

Amplified generation type rendering in real time with far plane 2 as he looks around that is incredible it’s like avatar on psychedelics but people have actually managed to get some shaders working in tandem with this mod specifically silder’s light and sora shaders look at that the fog gives you

The depth perception of how far away it all is combined with the real life looking sky it’s perfect they’ve even managed to get bsl shaders to work to a limited capacity and look at this someone uploaded a video of them seeing all of that with sora shaders flying around with an elytra

He has no frame rate dropping no heavy lifting that slows you down to 1 fps as your computer struggles to represent the visual just free flying in an infinite world except this time for the first time you can see it all and this is one guy making this

Happen what we all thought was impossible could you imagine if mojang actually took the time to make this happen in vanilla minecraft and marketed the game like this can you imagine how many more copies of minecraft would have been sold by now you can’t beat this another strange video amounting to i’ve

Seen in my dreams was uploaded to youtube it looks like he’s playing regular minecraft in a dark cave until he decides to go outside for a second yeah pretty hard to fathom that you can just see that far but on top of that you can play survival like this now

In cubic chunks so every minecraft version has terrain generation code porkchop can use the internals of that terrain generation code to generate what it will look like at certain distances without having to fully render each cube in perfect quality but as simple as that is there’s a downside to this most

Minecraft versions have wildly different terrain generating algorithms meaning he will have to practically recreate the effect a dozen different times for each prominent minecraft version and coding this mod takes a lot of time already even for just one version the mod currently only works for cubic chunks default terrain generation versions for

Vanilla minecraft haven’t even been started yet and i think he started on default cubic chunks for very specific reasons cubic chunks allows terrain rendering in vertical directions that goes as far as horizontal axes that means far plane 2 will allow you to see extreme vertical terrain generation as

Well or if you spend 160 million years digging a giant hole to the very bottom of a cubic chunks world you could see the complete view of all that too cubic chunks is also the basis of terra plus plus the mob that generates the earth and minecraft one to one scale

Establishing full far plane 2 capability for the base mod upon which our entire project is possible is a stepping stone to getting infinite distance and build the earth something i’ve been dreaming about since i made the first video on the earth in minecraft i’m here to tell

You that our dream is that much closer to being a reality if you’ve had wet dreams about the idea of being able to see from spawn all the way to the world border in minecraft you’re not alone we’ve all found ourselves in that dream spent decades in that dream building the

Finer details of the complete inner workings of our minds when we woke up we asked ourselves if a life without infinite render distance in minecraft has any meaning at all i don’t have a clear answer to that question but if you want to see all of the rivers

The mountains the grasslands the majesty of all of a minecraft world file in one spectacular mind-boggling view with no such inconvenience to your computer to the point of being able to play survival with it on that goal is now achievable if you want to see the new mountain terrain generation of modern minecraft

All of the earth and minecraft as if you were looking from space or all of your personal survival world to see your creations swallowed in the tide of an infinite mind-bending worldwide view of the entire minecraft world we have a linear solution to achieving that dream but to do it

We need your help porkchop is a real life person with real life plans he’s spearheading what i now consider to be the most important mod in minecraft but he needs your help show him that the world of minecraft wants and needs this more than anything this is his patreon

I’ve already signed up for membership myself join me in supporting him to create a fully finished far plane 2 so that all major and prominent minecraft versions can have the view of the terrain it’s always deserved in all versions and eventually with many different types of shaders i believe

This is the most necessary addition to minecraft i could ever dream of and if you agree with me let’s form the tidal wave of support that porkchop needs brick by brick we can build this wall but we need every single one of you that understands how necessary being able to

See the entire world is if you can spare a few dollars a month crawl through your couch cushions sell off your siblings collect aluminum cans any amount no matter how small will help bridge the gap between our dreams and reality this needs to exist and i need your help in

Making it so help me help pork chop he has a life and like all of us with all of our passions they can very often get in the way of our life show him that it’s worth it protect him help him and help him to achieve a vision of

Minecraft i’ve dreamed of since i was a little girl by now porkchop isn’t the only one who’s loaded all of minecraft in a single view there’s a lot of different screenshots of this total view some of them eerily similar to those deep telescope shots we’ve gotten of all

The galaxies visible to us in the universe the connection between these two feels like it’s not accidental and i think once again cyclone dusk puts it best reality is like the mathematical concept of the witch of agnesi a flat and empty eternity that eventually rises to a hump of something and then subsides

Back into a flat and empty eternity for instance the atoms we comprise are almost 100 empty space with a few baryons in the middle and a chance of some electrons around it in the macroscopic scale you must travel light years of void after leaving one stellar orbital system with planets in order to

Find any solid matter ever again and even then there might not be anything interesting minecraft is conversely so jam-packed with interesting stuff that the interesting stuff itself fades into uniform noise at truly planetary scales the dungeons the villages the temples the monuments even the borders of biomes themselves

Fizzle into a snow crash field of dull blue green noise if you get far enough away to see it all thanks for watching and i’ll see you in the next one
