Forum Overview :: Minecraft :: Re: The world generation is so much better now

[quote name="laudablepuss"][quote name="Entropy Stew"]I still love gargamel. Found a mountain I liked with some ravines running around the periphery, and there's an entire Moria underneath it. I delved too deep and got killed by poison spiders nesting in a an underground YOU. SHALL. NOT. PASS. chasm in the mine, which pissed me off because I had a full inventory and something like 2 stacks of looted train tracks. -/ES/-[/quote] That's hilarious because they talk about a Balrog easter egg here: [youtube id="0PuGTIlJot0"] I agree, the worldgen has gotten way better. Although apparently snow biomes are temporarily MIA, to return again in 1.9. And also Notch hates the color red (I guess) because some maps I generate literally have zero red flowers. :( The actual for real 1.8 patch halved the number of abandoned mines that spawn, which is probably fine since just about every hole I dug ended up in a world-genned mineshaft in the prerelease. I'm sure there will still be plenty of these to find. I take it gargamel is your world seed? Found a stronghold yet?[/quote]
