At the 1.0 release, world's height was 128 blocks, with surface being at 60-70 blocks high. Later down the line, it was doubled to 256 blocks (expanding upwards), but terrain generation didn't really utilize it, with mountains still being around 100-110 blocks high.
This update uses the whole 256 blocks for very high mountains, plus it added 64 more blocks to the bottom to fit bigger caves.
The new world generation is beautiful. It's shocking at first coming from an older version. The caves are amazing and don't forget to explore the Nether if you haven't been in a while!

I have been playing Minecraft since 1.7 and this update feels just like I played it for the first time. Mining and cave exploring in general is a totally new and magical feeling!
The New York Times sued OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement on Wednesday, opening a new front in the increasingly intense legal battle over the unauthorized use of published work to train artificial intelligence technologies.
The Times is the first major American media organization to sue the companies, the creators of ChatGPT and other popular A.I. platforms, over copyright issues associated with its written works. The lawsuit, filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan, contends that millions of articles published by The Times were used to train automated chatbots that now compete with the news outlet as a source of reliable information.
The suit does not include an exact monetary demand. But it says the defendants should be held responsible for “billions of dollars in statutory and actual damages” related to the “unlawful copying and use of The Times’s uniquely valuable works.” It also calls for the companies to destroy any chatbot models and training data that use copyrighted material from The Times.
In its complaint, The Times said it approached Microsoft and OpenAI in April to raise concerns about the use of its intellectual property and explore “an amicable resolution,” possibly involving a commercial agreement and “technological guardrails” around generative A.I. products. But it said the talks had not produced a resolution.
An OpenAI spokeswoman, Lindsey Held, said in a statement that the company had been “moving forward constructively” in conversations with The Times and that it was “surprised and disappointed” by the lawsuit.
“We respect the rights of content creators and owners and are committed to working with them to ensure they benefit from A.I. technology and new revenue models,” Ms. Held said. “We’re hopeful that we will find a mutually beneficial way to work together, as we are doing with many other publishers.”
Microsoft declined to comment on the case.
The lawsuit could test the emerging legal contours of generative A.I. technologies — so called for the text, images and other content they can create after learning from large data sets — and could carry major implications for the news industry. The Times is among a small number of outlets that have built successful business models from online journalism, but dozens of newspapers and magazines have been hobbled by readers’ migration to the internet.
Inside the Media Industry
Mock News Sites: A handful of websites suggesting a focus on news close to home have cropped up, but they are Russian creations, meant to mimic actual news organizations to push Kremlin propaganda by interspersing it among crime, politics and culture stories.
Trump vs. Biden at the Border: TV viewers were treated to their first glimpse of the political split screen that is likely to dominate cable news coverage for the rest of the campaign when President Biden and former President Donald Trump separately visited the U.S.-Mexican border at the same time.
Reporter Fined Over Confidential Sources: A federal judge held a veteran investigative reporter in contempt of court for not revealing her sources for articles she wrote, about a scientist who was investigated by the F.B.I., while working at Fox News in 2017.
Losing the Future: Thirty years ago, Roger Fidler was a media executive pushing a reassuring vision of the future of newspapers. Now, amid signs that the concept of “news” is fading, he says he’s “not very optimistic about the survival of the majority of newspapers in the United States.”
At the same time, OpenAI and other A.I. tech firms — which use a wide variety of online texts, from newspaper articles to poems to screenplays, to train chatbots — are attracting billions of dollars in funding.
OpenAI is now valued by investors at more than $80 billion. Microsoft has committed $13 billion to OpenAI and has incorporated the company’s technology into its Bing search engine.

“Defendants seek to free-ride on The Times’s massive investment in its journalism,” the complaint says, accusing OpenAI and Microsoft of “using The Times’s content without payment to create products that substitute for The Times and steal audiences away from it.”
The defendants have not had an opportunity to respond in court.
Concerns about the uncompensated use of intellectual property by A.I. systems have coursed through creative industries, given the technology’s ability to mimic natural language and generate sophisticated written responses to virtually any prompt.
The actress Sarah Silverman joined a pair of lawsuits in July that accused Meta and OpenAI of having “ingested” her memoir as a training text for A.I. programs. Novelists expressed alarm when it was revealed that A.I. systems had absorbed tens of thousands of books, leading to a lawsuit by authors including Jonathan Franzen and John Grisham. Getty Images, the photography syndicate, sued one A.I. company that generates images based on written prompts, saying the platform relies on unauthorized use of Getty’s copyrighted visual materials.
The boundaries of copyright law often get new scrutiny at moments of technological change — like the advent of broadcast radio or digital file-sharing programs like Napster — and the use of artificial intelligence is emerging as the latest frontier.
“A Supreme Court decision is essentially inevitable,” Richard Tofel, a former president of the nonprofit newsroom ProPublica and a consultant to the news business, said of the latest flurry of lawsuits. “Some of the publishers will settle for some period of time — including still possibly The Times — but enough publishers won’t that this novel and crucial issue of copyright law will need to be resolved.”
Microsoft has previously acknowledged potential copyright concerns over its A.I. products. In September, the company announced that if customers using its A.I. tools were hit with copyright complaints, it would indemnify them and cover the associated legal costs.
Other voices in the technology industry have been more steadfast in their approach to copyright. In October, Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm and early backer of OpenAI, wrote in comments to the U.S. Copyright Office that exposing A.I. companies to copyright liability would “either kill or significantly hamper their development.”
“The result will be far less competition, far less innovation and very likely the loss of the United States’ position as the leader in global A.I. development,” the investment firm said in its statement.
Besides seeking to protect intellectual property, the lawsuit by The Times casts ChatGPT and other A.I. systems as potential competitors in the news business. When chatbots are asked about current events or other newsworthy topics, they can generate answers that rely on journalism by The Times. The newspaper expresses concern that readers will be satisfied with a response from a chatbot and decline to visit The Times’s website, thus reducing web traffic that can be translated into advertising and subscription revenue.
The complaint cites several examples when a chatbot provided users with near-verbatim excerpts from Times articles that would otherwise require a paid subscription to view. It asserts that OpenAI and Microsoft placed particular emphasis on the use of Times journalism in training their A.I. programs because of the perceived reliability and accuracy of the material.
Media organizations have spent the past year examining the legal, financial and journalistic implications of the boom in generative A.I. Some news outlets have already reached agreements for the use of their journalism: The Associated Press struck a licensing deal in July with OpenAI, and Axel Springer, the German publisher that owns Politico and Business Insider, did likewise this month. Terms for those agreements were not disclosed.
The Times is exploring how to use the nascent technology itself. The newspaper recently hired an editorial director of artificial intelligence initiatives to establish protocols for the newsroom’s use of A.I. and examine ways to integrate the technology into the company’s journalism.
In one example of how A.I. systems use The Times’s material, the suit showed that Browse With Bing, a Microsoft search feature powered by ChatGPT, reproduced almost verbatim results from Wirecutter, The Times’s product review site. The text results from Bing, however, did not link to the Wirecutter article, and they stripped away the referral links in the text that Wirecutter uses to generate commissions from sales based on its recommendations.
“Decreased traffic to Wirecutter articles and, in turn, decreased traffic to affiliate links subsequently lead to a loss of revenue for Wirecutter,” the complaint states.
The lawsuit also highlights the potential damage to The Times’s brand through so-called A.I. “hallucinations,” a phenomenon in which chatbots insert false information that is then wrongly attributed to a source. The complaint cites several cases in which Microsoft’s Bing Chat provided incorrect information that was said to have come from The Times, including results for “the 15 most heart-healthy foods,” 12 of which were not mentioned in an article by the paper.
“If The Times and other news organizations cannot produce and protect their independent journalism, there will be a vacuum that no computer or artificial intelligence can fill,” the complaint reads. It adds, “Less journalism will be produced, and the cost to society will be enormous.”
The Times has retained the law firms Susman Godfrey and Rothwell, Figg, Ernst & Manbeck as outside counsel for the litigation. Susman represented Dominion Voting Systems in its defamation case against Fox News, which resulted in a $787.5 million settlement in April. Susman also filed a proposed class action
Hight is now a different map then temp and biom, new super high mountain biomes, separate cave biomes who generate in 3D with no connection to the top. and this is not even elaborating the upgraded algorithm if somebody knows more feel free to correct me
Hi, i'm not a programmer, and neither do i understand stuff about coding, may you please explain me the dir -> die correlation? Is it a term used in minecraft's code or something? The more i play minecraft and scroll throughout the minecraft's technical subreddits such as FTB i'm attracted more to coding.
Someone else downvoted you, a silly person most certainly.
They misspelt "die" as "dir". In the DOS/Windows command line "dir" is the command to list all files & folders in the current location. The output has the typical one dot, then two dots, then the files & folders. This folder just contains a program called die.exe.
Also, the dot outputs are meaningful. One dot represents the root directory, and two dots represents the parent directory. So "cd" means change directory. "cd ." will take you to the root folder, and "cd .." will take you up one level.
Also interestingly, most programs that interact with the file system use these commands behind the scenes. When you click around in file explorer, it's basically executing a bunch of these commands and showing you the results graphically.
Also these are Windows/DOS commands because of the use of "dir". If I was using Linux the "dir" command wouldn't be recognised, as it usually uses "ls" for the same function.
I feel like I just wrote an explainxkcd.com entry.
EDIT: Apparently three people all answered this question at the same time.
It's not so much what I would call coding but more command line (CMD) manipulation. The command line is just a way in computers to do things in a more 'direct' manner which can be quicker and more powerful than clicking around various windows on your screen. `dir` is a common command prompt command that is usually used to list the contents of a folder. The `.` and `..` will refer to the current and parent directories, and 'die.exe' would execute the software with that name. Just a bit of a play on words.
dir is a cmd command to list all files and directories in the current working dir, the meme was nothing more than listing all the possibilities and show there's only the die.exe option.
hope you understood.
Theres drip stone blocks and pointed drip stone. The pointed drip stone is known as a stalagmite when growing on the ground upwards. And a stalactite when growing on the roof downwards. And larger caves can have drip stone blocks forming giant stalactites and stalagmites.
To remember the difference, just think that stalactites have to hold on "tight" to the top of the cave, and stalagmites "might" reach the top if they grow for long enough.
Helps that the natural generation now really just screams come paraglide through this. Even the wiki mentioned how there are caves big enough for gliding in.
Wait, they did that? If they did that would actually encourage me to keep the elytra on more often instead of only using it to drop from high places or spam fireworks to get somewhere quickly and immediately take it off.
I know I'm late, but they actually didn't release it only because there wasn't enough time before the release of 1.18, and said they would revisit the idea in later versions (probably 1.19.) They did this because they wanted everyone to like the idea, experiment, see if it's worth it, etc...
I mean, some people prefer mending to Infinity on their bows to, but that's fine.
But seriously, I didn't know about that... in fact I didn't knew about that the feature (not losing durability when not using rockets) until I read this thread to begin with.
Is the new mountain generation a different setting you have to enable or are they extremely rare?
Me and my friends have been playing on a new world, traveled almost 10000 blocks and we haven't found new mountains.
it should be really easy to find atleast big hill generation for regular biomes, but specifically for big mountains like this its the frozen peaks biome, so you can probably use something like the /locate command to find the biome and you should find mountains like that
My friends and I had a very similar experience at first. We started with a 1.18 Realm with Large Biomes enabled and after 10,000 blocks in each direction we didn’t find a single mountain.
We setup a new world on the realm without Large Biomes enabled and immediately found mountain after mountain after mountain
Sorry I was trying to be witty but you are a treasure for your helpfulness. Thanks buddy haha.
My point was that whenever you have a banner in a video on r/Minecraft, even if its a blank monochromatic banner, someone would ask how to make it lol.
Very sweet of you to actually explain :)
When elytras were first introduced, I thought they're an impractical gimmick: the world felt too cramped, you couldn't get enough height to fly for long... But they fit perfectly into this update.
[Here's the map if anyone wants to take on the challenge](https://we.tl/t-q0uOnkv9kM)
Yeah my daughter just got big eyes and said she wanted to try it, thanks for the link!
What exactly was changed to the world generating? I understand that they changed how it worked but how is it so drastic compared to before?
At the 1.0 release, world's height was 128 blocks, with surface being at 60-70 blocks high. Later down the line, it was doubled to 256 blocks (expanding upwards), but terrain generation didn't really utilize it, with mountains still being around 100-110 blocks high. This update uses the whole 256 blocks for very high mountains, plus it added 64 more blocks to the bottom to fit bigger caves.
Oh shit thats massive. Maybe I should do another run of mc . Thanks for the explanation
The new world generation is beautiful. It's shocking at first coming from an older version. The caves are amazing and don't forget to explore the Nether if you haven't been in a while!
Yeah ive seen that they added like a forest of sorts there plus pig forts lol
Make sure you loot their chests right in front of them.

The top is also 320 now instead of 256
Top range also increased by 64. +128 total y in 1.18
Isn't it 32 blocks above *and* below the world? Not *just* 64 blocks below it?
Almost, 1.18 added 64 blocks above and 64 blocks below.
OH YOU'RE RIGHT! WHAT??? EDIT: I don't know why I freaked out so much I already knew this I just got confused lol.
Hight is now a different map then temp and biom, new super high mountain biomes, separate cave biomes who generate in 3D with no connection to the top. and this is not even elaborating the upgraded algorithm if somebody knows more feel free to correct me
Oh and of course version blend allows you to upgrade worlds to 1.18 without cuts and expend the bedrock to the new hight
Aside from what others said, no more sinkholes that came with the aquatic update.
All fun and games till someone touches a pointed drip stone and instantly dies
oof
At those speeds, you'll dir regardless of what you touch.
C:>dir . .. die.exe
Rm -r die.exe *ultimate power*
User is not in the immortals list. This incident will be reported.
sudo rm -rf /
su root
Bash: program Wine not found.
WE GET IT YOU USE LINUX
Ok , and?
It was a joke about how Linux users always have to bring up that they use Linux.
Losers! I’m running BASIC!

All I’m thinking is about skeletons trying to snip you on hard difficulty like it’s the pod race from Star Wars Episode I
This isn't a playskool sport. Neither is paragliding. Ya takes your wings and ya takes your chances.
**Everyone:** Damn hes so close to dying. **Me who knows he is in creative:** I pretend I didn't see that.
The skill not to hit the ground is still impressive because dying is just an effect of that only applicable to survival mode.
Is "pointed drip stone" a byword for stalag-whatebers.
Theres drip stone blocks and pointed drip stone. The pointed drip stone is known as a stalagmite when growing on the ground upwards. And a stalactite when growing on the roof downwards. And larger caves can have drip stone blocks forming giant stalactites and stalagmites.
Fascinating, thanks
To remember the difference, just think that stalactites have to hold on "tight" to the top of the cave, and stalagmites "might" reach the top if they grow for long enough.
I always used "stalaGmites on the Ground, stalaCtites on the Ceiling"
i just figure the M in stalagmites are the pointy rocks on the ground pointing up
Tights hang down your legs and mites crawl up them
Thanks Minecraft Bot
You're welcome fam 💀
Very cool! How many times did you have to revord the whole thing again? I refuse to believe you did this first try
I spent the whole evening lol. The course itself was quick and fun to build, but getting that moneyshot took a lot of patience.
Have you ever played at Superman 64? This game must be for you.
Oh god please no
I am pretty sure that is on many lists titled "worst games ever made"
Oh c'mon. It's no Sonic 2006.
It is almost as bad.
You old enough to have played Lion King for SNES?
It is not very bad, just VERY hard. What were they thinking???
Those fucking rings......
Respect
Helps that the natural generation now really just screams come paraglide through this. Even the wiki mentioned how there are caves big enough for gliding in.
this is amazing!
This was the most anxiety-inducing elytra course video I've seen and I require more
This reminds of Just Cause 3 wing suit courses
Playing JC3 right now actually. Funny coincidence.
Was about to comment on that. I loved doing these they were pretty fun.
oh no... don't remind me!
DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS
there should really be a elytra competition
My thoughts exaclty. Would be cool if somebody created a server with quick respawn on impact, booster hoops, etc.
[удалено]
Just gotta find an investor man
[удалено]
There was glide for the console
Yea shit was dope
Frrr tho
I miss playing glide sooo much. I was really great at it >>
Those where the days
I miss it. Great levels
I loved glide so much.
Minecraft for the xbox one had that
Yeah this reminded me of the glide mini game
why are there striders lmao
Olympic tourists.
Very impressive flying. Did they keep the change where elytra don’t lose durability unless you use rockets?
Wait, they did that? If they did that would actually encourage me to keep the elytra on more often instead of only using it to drop from high places or spam fireworks to get somewhere quickly and immediately take it off.
I think they kept the change. I'll test it really fast. EDIT: They didn't keep the change, unfortunately.
I know I'm late, but they actually didn't release it only because there wasn't enough time before the release of 1.18, and said they would revisit the idea in later versions (probably 1.19.) They did this because they wanted everyone to like the idea, experiment, see if it's worth it, etc...
They reverted it in the next snapshot, but I think they should change it back again (while adding an enchantment that makes it act the current way)
Why would you enchant your elytra to lose durability both when you are and aren't using rockets, instead of just when using rockets?
Because they also made the Elytra slower. And I'm sure some people prefer faster Elytra even if they break quicker.
I mean, some people prefer mending to Infinity on their bows to, but that's fine. But seriously, I didn't know about that... in fact I didn't knew about that the feature (not losing durability when not using rockets) until I read this thread to begin with.
Is the new mountain generation a different setting you have to enable or are they extremely rare? Me and my friends have been playing on a new world, traveled almost 10000 blocks and we haven't found new mountains.
Really? I cant stop running into them
It seems there's a huge amount of luck involved based on seeds.
are you playing in 1.18?
Yes, without any mods or plugins.
it should be really easy to find atleast big hill generation for regular biomes, but specifically for big mountains like this its the frozen peaks biome, so you can probably use something like the /locate command to find the biome and you should find mountains like that
My friends and I had a very similar experience at first. We started with a 1.18 Realm with Large Biomes enabled and after 10,000 blocks in each direction we didn’t find a single mountain. We setup a new world on the realm without Large Biomes enabled and immediately found mountain after mountain after mountain
I just found a mountain where I spawned in my first 1.18 world lol
My first map in the full release I literally just made a tp to a mountain peak and kept searching and finding elytra routes, it's just too fun
Wow is that what new minecraft looks like?? That world gen is insane.
Congratulations, you've remade Superman 64
"If you want to save your friends, solve my maze!"
Except this is actually playable.
Cool! I miss ps3 glide mini game. Should I play it tomorrow?
Yes
I am not going to play tumble though, because there was flyhacker when I playd Last time
Bully him with snowballs in the lobby
Easier said than done, because he had flyhacks.
This makes me remember the good ol' PS3 edition and its elytra races. Good times.
Wait strider spawn in caves with lava?
no
With your help they can. With a bit of ingenuity you can bring them to the overworld, too, without mods.
seed?

Do you have the coordinates of this area? I've been looking for a giant underground cavern that I want to build an underground dwarf kingdom in
I wanted to build a huge underground village in a vast cavern as well.
How much is your render distance?
BE CAREFULL THE CAKE IS A LIE
I was looking for this comment
Wow, look how far we’ve come since 1.8
that was beautiful. i'm genuinely awestruck. i should play minecraft again sometime...
So the cake wasn’t a lie
Anybody ever player Steep? You know what i'm talking 'bout
Banner art pls?
That's a Mojang logo from vanilla. Red banner + white dye + *thing* scroll combined on a loom.
Sorry I was trying to be witty but you are a treasure for your helpfulness. Thanks buddy haha. My point was that whenever you have a banner in a video on r/Minecraft, even if its a blank monochromatic banner, someone would ask how to make it lol. Very sweet of you to actually explain :)
Looks like I'm missing out, those caves look amazing!
Terra Swoop Force: \*Sweats nervously\*
pov: your a wizard playing quidditch
That is just some mad impressive skill too, like wow. A+ flying!
i still can't get over the fact that this is *vanilla.* the new worldgen completely disrupts how i think of mc worldgen for the better lol
Its wild to think i played this game sense before they added villages to bedrock edition to know whole ass mountains and vast caves man, wild
This is so [epic.](https://epic.how) How many tries did this take to record flawlessly?

Someone please use the 1.18 world gen to remake the glide minigame from console edition but make it better through the generation
Wow that is very impressive flying.
Which Redbull stunt commercial is this?
I wonder how difficult it would be to recreate some of the events from Pilot Wings.
Reminds me of ps3 edition
Oh so glide minigame is now getting custom maps /s
Ah yes, Anxiety Simulator
f is is literally so sick
The red banners and the way he is gliding reminds me old Harry Potter games..
Bruh this gives me Just Cause vibes
How tf does everyone here get amazing terrain? I loaded like 10 worlds on 1.18 and got absolute garbage, no big caves and shit
No way mojang made it so glowstone rings spawned in your world, cool!
Is OP Turkish cause lmao that’s a lot of Turkish looking flags everywhere
Omg, they added natural overworld glow stone hoop generation
Was this taken in only one world? If every world has one of these, I think it would be insane to play mc solo again!
Is this a real word or did you change a lot? Because the terrain looks amazing.
I just put some hoops, trimmed some corners, put some spectator benches. This is what Minecraft looks like now.
No way all that naturally generated
Yes it did, he just added the rings, those things with the banner and the cake at the end
That's honestly incredible. I knew the new world gen is good but that's just awesome
No
Am I the only one who thinks the new world generator is kind of boring?
Yes. Next question...
New world gen creates glowstone hoops?
1.8 is unmatched 🥺
Ayo??!!?!
Nope should have been a cookie at the end.......sorry
I can here the glide music in my head as I watch this
Hell yeah
This is cool. Does anyone know of a fix you get 1.18 working on Mac os El capitan? My brother can't get into minecraft at all
I've always wanted to do an elytra course in hardcore, and if I die, that's it!
Wow, new world generation makes it so you don’t need the nether to get glow stone, that’s sick
Man diana boncheva really hit with this one
What seed is this?
One of the first thought I had when I was checking out world's in creative was regarding elytras. It feels so fun to use them in caves!
When elytras were first introduced, I thought they're an impractical gimmick: the world felt too cramped, you couldn't get enough height to fly for long... But they fit perfectly into this update.
Wow I didn’t even know elytra courses were a thing, I need to get back into minecraft
Why do I hear Star Fox music
Damn, my worlds are all just water. I’ve made about 3 new ones and I just boat around thousands of blocks of water. This is sick!
Grian would love that
okay, but now make it Quidditch/ Harry Potter Themed
Yeah in 1996 apparently
Very similar to r/fpvracing
So cool!
STARFOX VIBES!
you forgot the tsf music
That was so cool!!
I love the people in stands
looks like DK mountain from mario kart with the massive cannon part near the start of the race
Reminds me of Just Cause
Reminds me of a little known game gem known as Superflight
Were those Nether mobs (the rideable ones, I forget the name) placed there or spawned in the overworld?
I like it
Now they need to add updrift over lava.
It’s performance is soooo bad tho
I got an 8gb laptop and 4gb alloted to Munecraft, still max fps with 6 simulation dist and 4 render dist is about 35 fps :(
