Dev Diaries: World Generation

Join Agnes, Henrik, and Jasper to learn more about the caves, cave biomes, and mountains in the Caves & Cliffs Update! Focussing specifically on world generation, they discuss what inspired the new features, how they include different player styles, and which real-world rules they decided to keep, and which ones they bent. We also learn about the spaghetti caves and cheese caves, so you risk walking away both inspired and hungry!

I love Lady Agnes's enthusiasm. She sounds like she really loves and cares about the game she is making.

When someone is smiling and you can see lines under their eyes, that means its a true smile.
When someone is making hand gestures while explaining something, that means they are excited about the thing they are talking.

Be like Agnes.
Talk about what you like.

This just shows up how much they care and love the community. There’s so much going on behind, it’s not just a game.

Agnes’s enthusiasm is the best I’ve ever seen. This is the reason why Minecraft is probably the longest and most popular lasting game ever to exist!!

When you realize you paid 20$ once for Minecraft and we’re still getting updates that are bigger than paid DLCs on most 90$ games.

We really need Agnes, Jeb, and other staff on the team to play an actually survival world together.

[kakuja]

She's literally that one teacher the entire school likes

One day we will watch the new caves with nostalgia thinking, that is old minecraft! meanwhile our super intelligent villagers are building an entire village and mining those caves.

This should be really cool to see exactly how they implement the large ore veins. They are already making a ton of changes to Ore Generation by moving the ideal spot to mine individual ores away from one another, so they are already well on their way to making mining "more stategic". The idea of big ore veins on top of that is pretty cool as it gives more of a discovered treasure feel to mining. These two ideas are kinda opposite one another, but I like the idea that there is a reward for mining in the exact spot you "should" be and a potential reward for just exploratory mining. It's a very interesting way to change mining so that it rewards different kinds of players.

I have a little story to share

I had this teacher in high school. She was this small cute lady that loved her job and the kids she teached. I would always show her the stories i wrote and she would tell the other teachers about them with so much hype! Agnes looks EXACTLY like her and seeing her, her happiness and excitemend made me remember my teacher and the times we had. Never lose that smile agnes.
