Bro this ending made me think. Mojang should really readd the farlands to the game. But as a biome for mad explorers. And now there are no excuses for "it to be weird on a flat terrain". It can simply be a new cheesy mountain type. New mountains are even higher! I just think that instead of generating in 12 million blocks; it could be around 29. To be closer to the world border but also not completely replacing it. Kinda like a "wall" protecting the far away terrain. And this isn't really all that impossible. Until 1.17.20 in Bedrock. They existed pretty much complete along with the ghost lands, corner Far Lands, stripe lands, corner stripe lands lands, and etc. All of them were pretty buggy. But existed. This would put more incentivation on exploration. Minecraft is all about exploring and finding new stuff; yet everything can be found around 10 kilometers from you (10k blocks); so why not something that is placed thousands of kilometers away?
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.
@@valleyforgeproductionsI'm pretty sure there is a setting for that. There are 3 options Normal Old And flat. Normal is a traditional world and Flat is a superflat obviously. And Old is like a 1024 block wide world with invisible barriers, akin to legacy console edition.
Oh boy load a bedrock edition flat world do enough to give yourself some stuff load a standard bedrock edition world delete and paste in the infinite file reload the flat world and now you have flat world surrounded by “this crap”
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.
@@someonerandom704 I recently developed a blending system that tries to connect two different noise generation styles. It's fairly easy to pull off as all you need are the two biome generation styles and linear interpolation to smooth out the differences inbetween. I think their technique increases the width of the blending if it's too steep which is an amazing invention and still isn't too hard to pull off either.
@@tomsterbg8130 I'm fairly sure it tries to discern a heightmap from existing terrain because the game for the last 10 years hasn't had any world generation code from Alpha, and it handled an Alpha world's terrain perfectly
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.
Yooo imagine like single biome worlds which you generate in rough circles so as you go out the biome changes! Sort of like what there planning with hytale
I did this with my creative world Using chunker and some very rudimentary level.dat manipulation I Wiped out my end dimension entirely Override the world seed to one I had selected so the end world look the right way Forced infinite terrain on a flat world wiping the flat world tag in the process giving me 1.18 in flat world chunks It no has terrain from like 3 different worlds
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
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.
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!
I can't wait to see how this eventually impacts my hardcore world. upgrading through all the old versions since Beta 1.9 Prerelease 2. currently nearing the end of the 1.2 snapshots. I'm sure I'll get to 1.7 soon enough and then after that, it'll be gradual upgrades. but it'll certainly be interesting to see what 1.18 does with that world.
To me it looks like linear interpolation with added width depending onthe height difference. Sounds fancy, but I made linear interpolation biome blending myself and it's as easy as getting both biomes generation style and slowly shifting from the first to the second. Still loving how they pulled it off.
@@bobuccman1424 that's why i said "set up as many as you can". Like which setups produce the wildest blends? Could even make a playlists of shorts and then have like the top ten all together
I used MCA to prune chunks that had less than one minute of load time from my server, which resulted in some isolated 'patches' around areas of interest found while exploring. One of them was a woodland mansion, with a render distance's radius around it. In 1.18 the dark forest became a deep ocean and I ended up with an incredible mansion island. One of a kind!
Man this is so cool. You can generate a normal world in 1.17, fly around a bit, then convert it into a single biome ocean and load it in 1.18 and have a world that only has a single island. Could even remove chunks to give the island the shape you want.
chunk blending is really impressive from a technical perspective. I would say I know a decent bit about the technicals of world generation but I got no clue how any of the blending works besides taking in the shape of the old terrain
The chunk blending feature has been an amazing. I have used a combination of world edit, a program similar to Amulet, all to combine a ton of old survival worlds, then leverage chunk blending to combine them into one gigantic survival world. I have been playing this particular world for awhile, so adding these new worlds has been a lot of fun. I have been connecting all these worlds through a nether highway. I actually play on my old worlds now with this ability. This video makes me wanna mess around more with chunk blending
1:28 ....dude. that nostalgia. there was another video that opened just like that on this channel a couple years ago. same forward effect, same music. brought tears to my eyes. thank you.
Thanks for covering this. This feature seems to be Black magic almost from what you show. I started playing in 1.2.5 and just getting a world through the 1.7 AND 1.8 barriers was rough. Not as old as your world in your example but old enough it faced numerous hurdles. The first caused harsh borders from the terrain and biome changes in 1.7. Preventing snow atop mountains that didn't have it before required Biome Painter so I changed extreme hills to plains. I avoided the borders by using MLG, Minecraft Land Generator, which basically runs a server, opens it, generates terrain, and closes it, all normal Minecraft server stuff, but then it moves spawn between restarts in order to accomplish generating terrain up to the amount you specify. I did this to generate a 20,000 x 20,000 block square around original spawn, and used a Nether highway to get to 1.7+ terrain in that world while bypassing the borders. Worked well, but took a few nights to generate (would have taken one but sometimes it just... bugged and failed to restart the process) and bloated my world size from ~1 GB at the time to 10 GB or more. The next update of 1.8 had less terrain issues outright, but somehow had worse issues for me. Most seemed to stem from the new water temples, which were dropping themselves wherever deep ocean would be... which was an issue since a mere two versions prior, in 1.6, there was no deep ocean. And, even though my terrain was "generated" due to the above process, if you weren't in it for something like a few minutes (which almost none of it would have been loaded that long), Minecraft considered it not important and went ahead and generated said temple. End result was water temples dropping themselves in forests, deserts, extreme hills, you get the idea. So I'd have to go into MCEdit, delete the temple, drop my backed up regions in, and hoped it wouldn't re-generate. To make it worse, even if a water temple didn't generate, very rarely in terrain I didn't have loaded over that few minute mark, the chunks would just be replaced with new 1.7+ types, causing the borders I wanted to avoid. I've said countless times how much of a performance and technical nightmare 1.7 and 1.8 were for me and thus they are among my least liked versions, but I understand I had somewhat of a low use case scenario. Still, I'm so glad Mojang put the effort in to ease the issues in using "old" worlds into 1.18 like this. Sorry this comment is long but if it took that long to explain, imagine the hours of work I put into my world to deal with those two version changes alone. Anyway, that's why I was so interested in this feature. And from what your video shows, it makes me wish this existed back then! Said world is in 1.10 right now and will never go beyond 1.12 at the newest for other reasons. I started a new world in 1.16 which is much smaller in terrain explored and yes I plan to take it to 1.18 with no "work-arounds" as this feature seems to largely "just work" based on your video. Thanks for covering it as I was waiting on feedback to help make up my mind on it, and thank you Mojang for doing it!
Honestly, I really like some of the jank in the terrain generation. I think chunk blending does help things feel a lot more cohesive, so that's really nice. The Ice Spikes islands is a great showcase of this. It's both jank as heck, and cool as heck.
Great video as always😀. You can really see they put the time into the chunk loading and blending process to make this .18 transition as smooth as possible!
I've already recently updated my 1.16 map where I had started building on a mushroom island. Did reset everything except the mushroom island itself + the spawn island nearby with the MCA selector and got an okay change. But I'm considering making a second try before I start playing on that map again. The downside of 1.18 is that mushroom islands now appear to be located too far away from other kinds of landmasses, where you before could get them to be closer. In 1.16, my mushroom island was surrounded by a lot of land nearby, so perhaps if I keep a small part of those areas, maybe the blending will create new landmasses instead of the giant ocean I have there now.
For some reason this makes me feel a lot of joy. Seriously, we've been waiting for this amazing new generation system for so long. And I'm not talking about just the one year it was being developed in.
Makes me happy you still make videos, your the first minecraft youtuber I started watching in 2011 your elemental creepers mod. Thanks for the fantastic childhood and into my college ish years.❤
i just took my old seed and made a new world with it, so far it's really good, i spawned in a hilled meadow near some horses that seems to have at least 2 of every animal in it. sadly the village i spawned near in the past is gone, but i'm confident that i wont have to go too far to find it in 1.18
I absolutely love your videos. Every single one of them hooks me from the first second and pulls me in like a fish. It's like a rollercoaster ride from the screen of your laptop. Thank you, Ant Venom, for inspiring me.
The exact video I’ve been dying to see, so glad you made it! I’m thinking of doing the seed editing you talked about in a previous video. So if i don’t like the default world gen around my 1.17 world I can edit the seed and see a different world gen around my 1.17 worlld. The possibilities are endless!
10:07 I've tried that before with Minecraft pocket edition. I think it was 0.12.1. i basically made a flat world, quit the world and changed it to infinite and i got similar results. What a weird experience
This blending stuff is amazing, but I wish they put some setting for it. I copy my current bases chunks into a new seed with amazing bay cliff. My base just touch every cliff of the bay, perfect location, but blending is a bit 'too smooth' so the amazing cliffs are lost. Still an awesome background...
I love how antvenom puts the black bars on the top and bottom of his videos. It allows me to go full screen on my phone without cutting part of the video off.
the chunk blending is really so insane!In this video,Antvenom has created so many wonders of the Minecraft terrain generation.Think of what we can do now.with all this new stuff
NGL, that modded farlands would make an AWESOME server map, especially if you made the inner area a little larger, then just deleted the inner area so that smoothing happened inside the "farlands donut" as well.
Honestly you're the Vsauce of the Minecraft community. I've been playing for 10 years and I still learn so much from your vids! The technical aspect of Minecraft is one of my favorite things about the game, so I'm glad to see someone explaining - and breaking - the internal works.
Thanks for sharing this!!! I've started using the blending of 1.18 to create worlds where there are biome "rings". I'll enter the world selecting the world as a single biome. Then I exit, change the biome, come back in, and fly around in a circle around the previous biome. Then, I repeat the process over and over again, creating this epic world of biome rings! It's so cool!!!
They were neat, unless you had an old survival world like me. I hadnt explored much of my world and when I opened it in 1.16, it completely ruined the ocean around my little island. Im kinda glad theyre mostly gone now.
That "hidden valley" vit between the ice spikes looked spectacular! Despite the Crimson Forest not working, the atmosphere looked awesome! But oh boy, blending the Farlands made me speechless!
Farlands should be a world border type option, besides the standard wall. _without needing a mod_ 10:48 These massive plateaued mountains they formed into would be even better though.
I updated a recent 1.17 map, a large island that was explored but never used for anything but testing chunk blending. Upon updating to 1.18, my island was littered by massive mountains. Lesson be learned, backup your saves :)
@@rohankishibe6433 It was completely explored. When I spawned in, I was in a literal pit surrounded by chunks of mountain. It was pretty insane, but I only used the map to test chunk blending.

I love the farland blending with 1.18, is like a giant wall telling you that you have reach the edge of the world.
chunk blending: * exists*
antvenom: can i break it?
every time, and it's always great when something's broken
The exact video I’ve been dying to see, so glad you made it! I’m thinking of doing the seed editing you talked about in a previous video. So if i don’t like the default world gen around my 1.17 world I can edit the seed and see a different world gen around my 1.17 worlld. The possibilities are endless!

*cries in 90 minute backup times*
Oh hey, it's Fi_go_no_mics from the antebellum video!
Oh my god, it's Fig from the MysticalMidget stream!
Popped up on my recommended after not seeing one of your videos for years. Glad you’re still around bro
10:07 I've tried that before with Minecraft pocket edition. I think it was 0.12.1. i basically made a flat world, quit the world and changed it to infinite and i got similar results. What a weird experience
Seeing the peaceful map again is like seeing an old friend after so many years
I still wonder how well amplified worlds work with blending. Haven’t really seen anyone talk about it.
I haven’t seen Antvenom’s Peaceful World in a long time. Interesting Video!
Now what I'm really hoping for is some way to enable the farlands in 1.18, so that you could blend INTO the farlands instead of just out of them
Bro the bits of montage of that base with the lighthouse......
My god the nostalgia hit like a train 😢
Just because someone super extra has a spare 131 GB doesn't mean everyone can afford the space, Taylor.
Typical rich person mindset though
The farlands blend test seems like a cool concept for a survival farlands ecsape video
I’d kinda like mojang to have an option to disable chunk blending so we can have some of those classic chunk borders
The chunk error shot is so satsifying
This blending stuff is amazing, but I wish they put some setting for it. I copy my current bases chunks into a new seed with amazing bay cliff. My base just touch every cliff of the bay, perfect location, but blending is a bit 'too smooth' so the amazing cliffs are lost. Still an awesome background...
The trick is to go back to 1.17 and extend your world a bit further, then instead of blending your cliff, something else will get the blend.
@@abj136 The problem is the cliff is part of the 1.18 terrain ^^
I just hope some tool like lca selector will have an option maybe?
I love how antvenom puts the black bars on the top and bottom of his videos. It allows me to go full screen on my phone without cutting part of the video off.
Soooo excited for 1.18 LETSSS GOOOO!!!🎉🎉👏
You gave me a really good idea to create a world with a custom biome list with your [1.17 to 1.18 test] map
1:29 bad apple
lol, so what's music name?
@@a17waysJackinn falling for a square, i think
That was cool! Hope you'll find more interesting/broken ways for the blending feature!
Even if it's only 11 minutes, it's interesting to click
dude 3 years ago people complained about 11 minutes being too long 😂
@@AntVenom now people want min 10 Min videos lol :)
For anyone wondering what the song in the background is, it’s called Soft Hearted by Anders Baldwin
*”Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment!"🏆*
Shush up
Heh
Shut up
I’m glad to see you still making great content after all this time :)
could've just ended it by 0:02 and it would have been a good video
your videos are always interesting to watch, wish i could binge a whole ton of new ones but i literally watched almost all of them
Claim your “here within an hour” ticket here🔥
no if it's 1 am for you when the video releases
Tbh the farlands x chunk blending landscape looks immense
I love how AntVenom gets one random thing and tries to break it. It entertains me.
the chunk blending is really so insane!In this video,Antvenom has created so many wonders of the Minecraft terrain generation.Think of what we can do now.with all this new stuff
That ice spiked wall is incredibly good.
6:00 thats seems so cool
Seems like something map builders would use for their advantage
The farlands blending is so satisfying!!
6:21 that actually looks pretty cool.
NGL, that modded farlands would make an AWESOME server map, especially if you made the inner area a little larger, then just deleted the inner area so that smoothing happened inside the "farlands donut" as well.
When antvenom is making a video, it always comes back to breaking Minecraft
the farlands bit at the end was so cool
That as well as new caves in existing chunks surely lag the hell out of my existing world lmao
that farlands blending looked so cool
Honestly you're the Vsauce of the Minecraft community. I've been playing for 10 years and I still learn so much from your vids! The technical aspect of Minecraft is one of my favorite things about the game, so I'm glad to see someone explaining - and breaking - the internal works.
Thanks for sharing this!!! I've started using the blending of 1.18 to create worlds where there are biome "rings". I'll enter the world selecting the world as a single biome. Then I exit, change the biome, come back in, and fly around in a circle around the previous biome. Then, I repeat the process over and over again, creating this epic world of biome rings! It's so cool!!!
The farlands was exactly what I expected, a big ravine system in a huge mountain that goes down to the ground.
The farlands actually look natural when generated! Great video, Ant
that floating village looks so cool
if there was some more infrastructure like stairs and paths between different islands, it would be even cooler
the farlands became a monolith
edit: the chunk blending turned a world that i had where i was at the farlands into a giant stretching mountan
that farlands blending looks like something that could be made into a cool adventure map
_Damn_ that view of the forest with the amplified ice spikes rising beyond is cool as hell.
Antvenom figuring out the Minecraft videos I want without my knowing I want them.
"this crap" old chunk borders are beautiful and an iconic sign of old Minecraft worlds I'm sad to see them go
They were neat, unless you had an old survival world like me. I hadnt explored much of my world and when I opened it in 1.16, it completely ruined the ocean around my little island. Im kinda glad theyre mostly gone now.
That "hidden valley" vit between the ice spikes looked spectacular! Despite the Crimson Forest not working, the atmosphere looked awesome! But oh boy, blending the Farlands made me speechless!
Farlands should be a world border type option, besides the standard wall. _without needing a mod_
10:48 These massive plateaued mountains they formed into would be even better though.
The chunk blending that ant is showcasing on his main world kinda isolates his base like a ruin
Almost looks like an oasis in the middle of nowhere when you see the giant ice walls
I updated a recent 1.17 map, a large island that was explored but never used for anything but testing chunk blending. Upon updating to 1.18, my island was littered by massive mountains. Lesson be learned, backup your saves :)
Did you explore the coast only? It may be that the interior of the island was unloaded and so it tried to blend inside.
@@rohankishibe6433 It was completely explored. When I spawned in, I was in a literal pit surrounded by chunks of mountain. It was pretty insane, but I only used the map to test chunk blending.
