Comprehensive Guide:World
Mechanics that change terrain and how players can interact with terrain.
Terrain
World generation
- The world is 13000 blocks in radius. Traveling beyond this radius is blocked by an invisible and circular world border. Any attempt to travel beyond will result in being teleported back into the radius at a seemingly unpredictable y-level. If a player tries to cross the world border in a vehicle they will automatically exit the vehicle. Blocks may be placed outside of the world border yet any pearls stored outside the world border will be freed upon server restart.
- Several non-vanilla biomes have been added[specify]. Many of these biomes have altitudes above y128 and sheer cliff faces. Biomes can also contain custom trees which are larger then vanilla. Blaze spawners can be found scattered around many biomes.
- Large caverns with flat dirt floors generate under many snow biomes.
- It is not possible to reach the Nether. However Nether biomes containing Nether materials and creatures can be found in oceans throughout the map. Though Nether fortresses will spawn in nether biomes, wither spawning is not restricted to nether fortresses
The End dimension
- There are only three End portals[specify]. A public End portal can be found at 2300, 450
- The End world generation is also custom. Cobwebs and Lava can randomly spawn at the lower levels of the End[specify].
Humbug tweaks
Humbug changes vanilla functionality in many areas.
Mobs
- Disables:
- trading with villagers
- Endermen stealing blocks
- iron ingots from being dropped by mobs
- Wither explosions destroying blocks and Wither insta-break ability
- Sets Wither skull droprate to .4%[citation needed]
- Sets base movement speed of mounted horses to 0.3 (from .17 in vanilla)
- Doubles Creeper drops
Blocks, entities and items
- Disables:
- opening Ender chests
- all vanilla XP sources (including mob drops, smelting and fishing) but XP bottles
- enchanting books via enchantment table
- use of elytra
- teleportation with chorus fruit
- inventory minecarts (including chest carts and furnace carts) from being opened. They can still be loaded via hopper.
- players in vehicles from opening inventories
- End portal tiles are indestructible
- Boats placed on land will break upon being used
- Allows equipping a banner as a hat
- Sanitize sign length to 100 text row length[awkward]
- Water and lava above y 180 has limited propagation
- Death and join announcements disabled
RandomSpawn
Players who have do not have a bed spawnpoint set will respawn in a random location in a 6500 blocks radius around 0,0.
- RandomSpawn can be useful for transportation purposes when there is no need to move items.
OreObfuscator
OreObfuscator makes certain types of blocks appear as stone when viewed from a distance. This exists in order to prevent x-ray cheating.
- Blocks that are obfuscated are: Dispenser, Chest, Mob Spawner, Crafting Table, Furnace, Enchantment table, Anvil, Trapped Chest, Jukebox, Noteblock and Sponge.[citation needed] These blocks will be rendered as a stone block if no player is within 8 blocks.
- Because of the range of the OreObfuscator, it is advisable to dropchest at least 8 blocks below the ground.
BlockLimits
Some blocks are limited (BlockLimits) on a per chunk basis to reduce lag. Exceeding the limit will print "Limit reached for this chunk, you cannot place more of this type of block."
| Block | Limit per chunk |
|---|---|
| Comparator | 12 |
| Dropper | 16 |
| Hopper | 16 |
| Furnace | 40 |
| Dispenser | 16 |
| Observer | 4 |
| Slime block | 8 |
| Piston base | 10 |
| Sticky piston base | 10 |
