    I suspect its because of the bad title and thumbnail. When I was researching for some info on minecraft's worldgen, I saw this video and immediately ignored it because it's title/thumbnail made it seem like some basic video with very simple information and no actual in-depth details.

    Pre 1.18 terrain just has a certain unique feel to it. It's bumpy and coarse, but also gradual and smooth at the same time. 1.18+ terrain is much more smooth and realistic, which was probably a good change, but it definately got rid of that unique feel.

    This documentary is insanely well made . As a Computer Science Student, it’s crazy to see so many familiar (mostly simple) concepts mushed together, somehow resulting in THE game of my early teens. I have to point out: The World Generation Pipeline was explained very well. It’s a complex topic but you managed to break it up into simple steps, painting a coherent image. The stack-graphic definitely helped! I hope you get the recognition you deserve. Have a nice day!

    This was awesome ! A year or two back I spent a few weeks on an infinite-world generation project as the concept had always fascinated me, but I ended up getting overwhelmed by just all the layers of systems needed to consistently create a compelling result. I read up a bit on minecraft, but most of what was published was either hypertechnical to the point of being difficult to parse, or was so high level it provided nothing. This video was fantastic at bridging the two concepts!

    I’ve always wondered how Minecraft generates. I used to think it generated as you walk closer to a new chunk, but since you can type in command to find certain biomes or use a map to find a woodland mansion, I began to think everything must be pre generated. That idea also just made no sense knowing seeds exist. But since the worlds are infinite I wondered how the game would generate something infinite. I have no knowledge of code so this was interesting to me.

    I hope this video helped! ☺️ Yes, Minecraft indeed generates new chunks as you walk into unexplored areas. But what goes into those chunks is already predetermined by the world seed! Minecraft worlds are fully deterministic, meaning that from the seed you can recreate all of their features. Some things, like the position of woodland mansions and stronghold can be calculated easily without computing the full map!

For more on 1.18 terrain, you can also see Henrik Kniberg's video, he was one of the main devs on 1.18 and goes into great depth about all of this. Your knowledge about Perlin Noise having watched this video will help when watching that video! :) Hope these other resources help; this video is quite well explained and I'm glad it fits into the other videos around.

The sheer scope of what is possible to achieve with tools like this is insane and the required equations to make it work even more so! Seeing a detailed breakdown of how a quintessential game handles procedural generation to this scale was definitely enlightening not just as to what can be taken into consideration but also the pitfalls along the way. Our little R&D team in the studio is currently gobbling up this video to see what we can take away from it and to what extend we can apply the knowledge of it to PCG in various projects 😁

    Aww, thank you so much! I wish I had a chance to make more videos like this! But it took over one year! 😅 So is very difficult to make more than 1-2 documentaries a year!

    Awesome video. Deserves the amount views and perhaps much more.

    This was, without a doubt, one of the best technical Minecraft videos I’ve ever seen. A-MA-ZING. Thank you so much for sharing this knowledge in such a great format.
