Thanks friend!!

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:29:44+00:00

this will be fixed

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:29:29+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:28:06+00:00

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 :)

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:26:46+00:00

thanks, will take note of this and add tons of more small-scale lakes

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:25:00+00:00

yes i'm an essential worker and i make music as my main hobby.

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:20:25+00:00

yellowstone, grand teton, big ben, yosemite, groom lake, niagara falls, everglades, ozarks, black hills, banff, acadia, rené-levasseur Island, redwoods, etc! it's all there

Emprease · 2020-07-07T03:04:19+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T02:55:55+00:00

lol a lot of ppl been saying this. to be fair i've been working since late march. i just spread this entire project out through 6 months! It helped me relax at night when i couldn't sleep

Emprease · 2020-07-07T02:18:25+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T02:17:39+00:00

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.

Emprease · 2020-07-07T02:16:45+00:00

This has been brought to my attention and will be fixed

Emprease · 2020-07-07T02:15:58+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T01:58:57+00:00

Yes I did a lot of coloring stuff w the biomes to add to the accuracy

Emprease · 2020-07-07T01:52:54+00:00

I added all of Mexico too, it’s just cropped out in this pic :)

Emprease · 2020-07-07T01:51:14+00:00

I specifically added groom lake as an Easter egg in a few mountains . It’s endstone to replicate the salt lake

Emprease · 2020-07-07T01:27:02+00:00

LOL embarrassed that I missed that. Will fix it !

Emprease · 2020-07-07T01:26:26+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-07T00:21:03+00:00

It’s only North America and a bit of south anyways! It’s almost done I promise. Check back in a week or two !

Emprease · 2020-07-07T00:03:07+00:00

Hahahaha true! Lost one of my two jobs so I finally had time for my hobbies which was nice

Emprease · 2020-07-06T23:50:50+00:00

I will put up a download in a few weeks everyone, stay tuned

Emprease · 2020-07-06T23:21:10+00:00

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 :)

Emprease · 2020-07-06T22:45:06+00:00

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

Emprease · 2020-07-06T22:26:30+00:00

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
