Either way that is a heck of a map size, I can see why a nether railway system is virtually mandatory at that point! As for the 360 map size I say what we have is mostly big enough lol. Still takes forever to go anywhere via running. I wouldn't mind it if they increased it a bit (maybe doubled it at the most) but what I really want is for them to increase the ceiling build height. Right now it's at cloud level which IMO is far too low. |
Technically, it IS endless, yes, but only because without cheats, it would be almost impossible to get to the edge of the world. See, there is always a 0, 0 mark, where you're at zero x-axis, zero z-axis (y-axis is for height). Once you get to x=12,550,820 or -12,550,820 or the same for the z-axis, the game pretty much breaks down. The physics fails at that point. But, basically, it means that your world can be approximately 25m x 25m squares. Pretty damn big. hehe The Earth has a surface area of about 510 million square kilometers, the game (if counting a square as a meter) is around 630 trillion square kilometers.
As for the height, aye, I imagine that could be a little annoying. With the PC version, they updated to the Anvil file format. So instead of only 128 blocks, you get 256. The bedrock is still at the same place, but the build limit became three times higher than before. Hopefully they let you guys have something similar.
