The new 1.18 mountains feel like they are supposed to be seen with a much higher render distance than the game allows. This really should be a vanilla feature by now

Given that a Minecraft day is 20 minutes, and it took you 35 minutes, that's 1.75 Minecraft days. So in a roundabout way, that guys' answer of 1.86 days isn't that far off.

6:30 with how the water is loading it seems more like it’s loaded in visually rather than an actual chunk. And there’s another person making a mod that does the same. It’s called distant horizons

I am in awe. This needs to happen legitimately; have mojang work with him. It is mind-boggling seeing that view distance. Absolutely incredible. And my goodness it would be so much easier to figure out where I am with landmarks. I wouldnt be afraid to travel 100 miles away from home base. Especially trippy with the floating islands that blot out the sun. I wonder what end would look like with endless floating islands in the abyss

Mojang should just hire porkchop to do this full time if they want to, this is amazing and deserves to be in the base game

If Mojang is unable to think of a way to add fireflies to the game or even a pause feature in bedrock edition, then I think we have our answer as to why LOD isn't a feature yet

Since it wasn't mentioned in the video, the process of making a 3D model less detailed as distance increases is called an LOD (level of detail)

Its not just about rendering chunks, each chunk is calculated before even being rendered to know what level of Perlin Noise is used which determines the blocks contained in each chunk which then determines what the chunk will even look like. We don't have the computing power to even do this in real-time for this amount of chunks, hence the render distance being capped and why we get heavy lag if tried to extend the cap. Other games have long distance rendering because the map was already predefined and not generated in real-time to an infinite scale like Minecraft, the terrains of these games are usually non changeable and not made from calculated Voxels on the fly. My guess if this is 'real-time' is that it's based on inaccurate predictions from the current noise levels we have already loaded in, meaning the terrain isn't actually accurate at all, if we had a starting point and moved in 1 direction from said point very far away, once we arrive at the chunks lets say 10,000 blocks away it would look completely different from what it looked like from the starting point. Not that we could tell anyway due to anti-aliasing and horrible graphics at that distance, there isn't enough pixels on your screen to even see that far clearly. The way those chunks will be loaded in is by using Fractal & Octree methods which means it would be a repeating Fractal which just keeps repeating already loaded in chunks to 'infinity' we've had this method for years but for a game like this its a completely inaccurate solution. That's why even on the video the terrain just looks exactly the same everywhere you look because its not the real terrain being generated just repeating chunks I've worked on voxel engines for years and seen people use these methods in voxel engines. The results look amazing, but it's completely inaccurate

I love how evident the perlin noise becomes at that render distance, making all Minecraft worlds seem essentially identical.

With the addition of the new mountains, LODs are needed more now than ever! I can imagine myself just gliding through the vast and endless landscapes for hours!

4:46 Open GL isn't hardware, it's an API and the code needs to be updated. An API is code that translates communications somewhere between a program and a kernel. I'm no programmer (or rather I suck at programming), but I at least know that.

I honestly fell in love with your concept. The idea of our mind playing games per centuries while we travel in space. We could probably complete every game that have ever existed, plus build crazy projects in them. Just so someone maybe not even human can find all of it millions of years later in a remote planet. Or maybe it would stay there forever hidden.

Imagine having every player play in this single world without any performance issues. That would be amazing

It's such a necessity now, the terrain of Minecraft has gotten so much larger, it needs that for not just the sake of immersion, but for the sake of beauty as well.

this needs to seriously be brought to light , it brought out child me and made me happy to see this, it looks like a sandbox ark visually but with its minecraft characteristics.

3:30 that's why we ain't lagging

I don’t know how many times we’ve seen one guy make a mod that just completely changes and improves the game but if mojang attempted to do this they would take a year and a two part update twice delayed

Actually, it's not smoke nor fog you see in the distance when in the mountains, it's the transparency of the air itself that decreases, depending on weather

Some of those clips of the mod are so amazing it brought a tear to my eye. I’ve played damn near every single version of the game and this is an absolute dream.

You are a great visionary and we need people like you. Keep up the great work!

There is a mod which combined with cubic chunks, removes the world border and generates normal terrain all the way to 2.1 billion instead of 30 mil. Also it generates to 2.1 billion on the y axis as well. Would be cool if someone were able to combine the unlimited render distance mod, cubic chunks, and the unlimited terrain mod.

So 60,000,000 blocks/meters means that 37,282 miles of space can be loaded at once. Given the Earth is 24,901 miles around, all of Build The Earth could fit in this one render distance.🤯

1:33 that speech was beautiful made me cry

this legit almost made me cry. Pippen, this was so incredibly well worded. Thank you for making content like this. keep it up.

i'd love to see someone descend from the point where you can see the entire map to ground level - just to really give us reference & put into perspective how big each tiny dot on screen is

Distant Horizons also exists, which is available for versions 1.16.5-1.19, and in fabric/forge it doesn't go as far as farplane, and it also isn't compatible with shaders, but I get the feeling some people aren't playing 1.12 and distant horizons is the only other good one available.

I love how he bleeps out the word shit sometimes but other times doesn't

The spyglass would have more use after this

I came here expecting a story about how it took 6 months to render 1 image. This is insane

This is so impressive, and yet at the same time I feel this is something that should've been in the game long ago. If this video demonstrates anything, it's that Minecraft would benefit greatly from having LOD implemented, raising the game's performance significantly. It honestly confuses me why the game doesn't already have this, especially when the solution is so simple that it could be achieved by an amateur high school coder.

2:30 bro borrowed NASA's PC 💀💀💀

This turned from a regular video to life Love this video

11 Years ago, someone european guy made an algorithm that generated a world where so many lives had been touched and grown upon. So many people had been influenced and amazed by how this was created, (That includes myself and probably everyone watching) and how soon I could download a file where i can SEE All of my memories be swallowed by the unknown is just unreal. How did a simple block game from 2011 create such a legacy... Just From A Push of a Button.

Seeing as Minecraft was very simple with small terrain and a foggy world 10 years ago, and we’ve been able to achieve something as monumental as this 10 years later, imagine what Minecraft will be like 10-20 years from now.

imagine base hunting in 2b2t with this

This video actually got me teary eyed. Thank you for this masterpiece and thanks to Porkchop for making it happen.

Yeah it's weird that there's never been even a slight attempt at adding LoD from Mojang. Like you said, games from the early 2000s have been doing this. Very odd choice.

I love how he just casually says "sell off your siblings" lmao

I started playing minecraft around 2011-2012, what got me in it is that I was a child and was scared shitless because the night came and I've seen awful scary monsters in the sea (squid) and I didn't understand why sand fell when I tried to use it as ceiling for my dirt-sand home

2:18 bro got the best pc in the world

LODs should've been a thing the second elytra was introduced! Too many times have I hit a mountain because it wasn't rendered yet. What the hell is Mojang doing with all the time and money they have?? Can someone send them this video? Maybe we can shame them into it or something.

If it takes 1 guy a long time for 1 version, imagine how quick it would be with a whole development team

Bro your videos are amazing

Now we have the ability to see and touch more fake grass, but still managing to get even less bitches. Massive props to this man.

"if you've had wet dream about the idea of being able to see from spawn all the way to the worldborder in minecraft, you're not alone" -pippen

Everyone is praising the mod, but the video itself is perfection, even unlocking nostalgia while remaining wholesome and funny, keeping me in an infinite trance. Thank you.

the intro to this video makes me want a server with a plugin that only lets you break blocks, and the goal is to slowly mine the whole world

"make medical advancements sufficient enough to make human beings lives last centuries which extends your life long enough to make it to the point where we can figure out how to transfer your brain contents and consciousness into a machine at that point you would be immortal and could construct a spaceship around your central consciousness database and explore the universe forever as a conscious lone technological space whale" is the most beautiful string of words i've ever heard come out of someone's face-hole.

Mojang needs to do this! We don’t need 100% perfect views of limited space around us, we need realistic views of everywhere we can see around us

Mojang should take this as a warning, they missed out on shaders and they most likely are ganna miss out on this. Hire this man and give him the tools he needs to make minecraft as great as it can be, if he could get this working in bedrock that shows the massive potential that this can bring to the game. Porkchop needs to keep this energy up and keep this topic relevant, no forgetting this mod.

Seeing this mad late but this is the coolest fucking thing I've ever seen and i'm getting it immediately

I let out an audible "YEAH!" when you mined the chunk in 35 years

Dude how are your videos so... nostalgic, emotionnal, I don't know how to explain it, keep doing your stuff please ! Love the feelings you share through them.

I was literally thinking about this concept earlier today after I set up on top of a very tall spiky mountain. To me it looked like I was looking into the void, but I knew I just couldn't render the true horizon from my perspective

Each one of those dots look like a block, but they're actually an entire biome XD

Minecraft needs to hire these people and implement this into vanilla

Distant Horizons is another mod that does this, however it requires chunks to be loaded in before rendering. But, it works in vanilla.

This would genuinely get me to play minecraft again. Without mods the game feels empty to me, this brings a lot of that back

If you ask me, the zoomed out image is actually more similar to the thermal image of the remnant of the CMBR, because with a map that big, it looks isotropic, just like the CMBR _(it's uniform in all directions)_ which, as a space nerd, personally feels way cooler

This is just how minecraft should work

i just watched this and im honestly excited that this is possible, ive always loved running a large render distance, but my computer cant handle anything over 22. i hope this makes it to the newer versions of minecraft... i love this

Microsoft/mojang be like: "make infinite render distance? No its useess" "make chat moderation that no one needed and no one asked? of course, its the best idea ever"

Someone "recently" mined the entire console world size (about 800-800)

ain't no mobs sneakin' up on him 💪😤💯💯

Hey Pippen, I had a dream last night. I was playing PvP with my friends and minecraft GeoGuessr using your world download. Then I woke up, and thought, "that would be so cool lmao" If you want to get more people to join your patreon to fund this project, why don't you make some mods for to be able to play GeoGuessr and PvP alongisde the world downloads? I'd definitely play that! Just a suggestion, thought I'd ask since I'm early to this video and I'm REALLY invested in this project lol

Imagine loading all of 2B2T with this, we’ve got amazing maps of it already, Id just love to see it ALL, border to border

i hope we can get the option to limit how much it shows, you can see up to 3 miles irl so it would be fun to have that in minecraft

What got me hooked? When shadows were added - and no, not shaders, actual base line shadows. Dont remember the version, but oh boy the floating islands and amazing overhangs were beautiful!

There's also another mod being developed--Distant Horizons. Although it doesn't support cubic chunks it's available for recent versions! So it should be a good glimpse at what the completed FP2 could be :)

when you opened the community floodgates to reward porkchop and let him keep doing what he loves i genuinely got really emotional

I really like your videos pip. Anyway, to address the question you started this video off with i went ahead and dug up the order confirmation in my gmail from when i bought the game: June 2011. I've noticed particularly in the past couple of months that when i make new friends ingame its often 10 year plus club like us, or max two years ago. Funny how that works.

after watching the guy with shaders using the elytra i think i just found my will to live. thank you, and porkchop

How does pippen manage to make every single one of his videos have such an emotional rollercoaster to them i mean we’re talking about fricking blocks and I’m almost tearing up like what.

"If you've had wet dreams about the idea of being able to see from spawn all the way to the world border in Minecraft, you are not alone." Thank god. I'm not the only one.

The fact you are looking at a world bigger than earth

10 years to mine the whole map? Hold my beer, and which box did I leave my flint and steel and duped TNT in?? FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!!!!

Mojang is too busy implementing chat moderation which no one asked for or wants in the game

Started playing in maybe 2010. I thought my experience had peaked at running 32-64 render distance no problem, but then I discovered ray tracing shaders and now I'm back to render distance 4-8 because light is pretty

His PC probably sounded like a leaf blower

bro was adding lore to noise generation.

6:44 Just the WOW HOLY SH*T THAT LOOKS INCREDIBLE factor of that view is jaw dropping. I would be way more willing to play survival if I could actually see like this.

9:54 He is in high school???? I cannot fathom how Mojang hasn't even attempted what he is doing, what a shame.

Oh, it is based on terrain generation. That means even if you create something very big, it will disappear once you leave the closest full detail distance.

Have I had wet dreams about infinite render distance? No. Is it cool? Yes 👍

This is genuinely insane, the fact that it's even possible is mind blowing. Porkchop has my support for this 100%

Going on the thumbnail alone, its like the whole universe from what Hubble has seen, stars and galaxies become noise of the infinite. I like the linear water striations

10:36 Perfect XD that made me cry of laughter Keep up the great content !

dude his intro was so good I forgot what the video was actually about until he mentioned it xD

Reminds me of the Distant Horizons mod. I mean it's a bit worse, not being able to render EVERYTHING, but it can still render enough to feel realistic and awesome. I highly recommend checking it out, it has a lot of compatible versions, including 1.19.

I started minecrafting from pre-0.9 PE many, yrs ago had to convince my aunt to buy it for me. I got hyper into minecraft during the 1.7 era because of mods, specifically the Too Much TNT mod showcased by PopularMMOs, 4th grade me was obsessed with TNT. Back when my comp would be hot enough to cook eggs if you're brave enough to set the render distance past 6 chunks

this is one of those vids that you find and it just feels like a classic

looks like a lot of oceans and green area with few deserts

3:42 i was shocked when I go to know this !!! How does a game engine like this, relying on procedural generation, doesn't have autoLOD generation. Fortunately, someone made a MOD on this (distant horizon) but this definitely should be a part of the engine. Like you showed in the begning a lot of game engines support that

I once heard that people used to think people actually got smaller when they walked away... equally true, honestly.

@5:47 I looked over to my PC, a 5800X3D and 3090ti, 64GB DDR4, and even that began to sweat at the thought, lets go!

Why has this not been added to vanilla Minecraft. The shader demonstration literally sent shivers down my spine.

4:50 opengl is software so if they ever decide to update it, the stuff should start working on all supported macs

0:16 props to the guy who mined the entire damn world to post this.

I never thought of it, it was never a possibility, i just never thought of it. It looks amazing. I've never rendered more than 12 chunks.
