    Bonsai supports massive worlds. The current version supports a maximum world size of ~1 billion blocks, cubed. At one block per meter, that’s the distance from earth to the moon, 2600 times, in every direction. The view distance is the entire world, all the time. Yes, you read that right. In Bonsai, you can see in a straight line from Jupiter to the sun.

    Jumping Jesus on a Pogo stick!! That’s impressive.

      That’s true, but as we have seen several times a huge world isn’t enough, you also have to put something interesting in it. Anyway I don’t want to seem a Negative Nancy, it’s incredible that this engine can create such a huge world without requiring hundreds of GBs.

      luanti is an engine and so is bonsai. i don’t think they can be “used together”.

        I would think for bonsai might be useful for custom terrain generation for luanti multiplayer servers.

              but those tools are built for minecraft right? this is a different system with (presumably) a different format, and from what i can see, no builtin terrain generation algorithm. it would be easier to just build one in luanti.

    I tried to run this so many times and it just gave me a blank screen. Can anyone confirm that they got it running?
