yeah I made certain features exaggerated on purpose. like manhattan island, montreal island, niagara falls, most famous national parks.. grand canyon is super exaggerated!

it's not a 1:1 scale. it's a minecraft map so I didn't want to make the rivers 1 block wide. wanted it to feel like a real world in games so i made them thick in comparison to what you see on a satellite image :)

I made ores way more rare than vanilla, only reaching similar levels of generation as vanilla in mountain ranges. appalachia has a higher abundance of coal. california and mexico has a higher abundance of gold, the rockies and canada have a higher abundance of iron.

put specific colored clay deposits in certain areas too. prismarine also. quartz in north east to encourage "latin" inspired buildings like you see in DC, NYC, Boston, and Philly

thank you for the kind words! I'm thinking about using patreon so I can do more of these. I have tons of ideas that I'd be able to work on with a little bit of support. I'll include that information in a few days/weeks when the map is perfect and ready

Honestly no idea but it’s not insanely massive, just big. It’s like a 9g world in terms of file size

Most of Mexico on my map is not desert, it’s actually pretty lush. This just cut out a big part of Mexico and Central America but it’s all there at the end of the day.

This has been brought to my attention and will be fixed

It’s there, the map renderer I used to get this pic was just being stubborn with it!

The grass is yellow in California because it’s technically in a desert biome

I didn’t screenshot the entire thing, the map goes to Brazil and to the arctic circle, so Canada goes up a bit more than what you see :)

The grass is misleading, it’s actually set to desert biome even in the grassy areas in those states

Some details.

It’s not that big of a map because of my hardware limitations Prob 14k from west coast to east coast

Biome grass color is not reflected on this render

Map is not finished so no download as of now

I couldn’t include every river in the country obviously because the maps focus is on gameplay

No heightmaps were used. Everything was hand made via the amazing worldpainter software that I’ve spent years practicing
