    map's pretty big.

    Maybe I'll try and find the tiny island in the giant lake at the top.

    So will the map expand if people continue to explore?

    What tool did you use? Reminds me of that Cartograph.

    Also, yes worlds *technically* infinitely expand. Before 1.8, if you went out far enough, you'd just start getting really fucked up biomes (anyone ever see a Nether biome on the surface?), but since 1.8, Notch fixed it so it would go out some 1,000-something chunks, and then cut off with no weird biome generation. Also, you'll just end up with a HUGE save file/folder.

    You realize what a tiny 1000th we've actually occupied when you see the man-made fort spawn in the middle ish.

    I will in a bit. It's awkward to do because the app won't run on the server itself, so I have to xfer the map to another server then run it on there.
