Has it always been 8? I swear it was 7, is my brain just making that up?

[โ€“] [email protected] 85 points 6 months ago (1 children)

just checked, it is 8, you are delusional ๐Ÿฅฐ

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I made it very clear that I thought it used to be 7. As in the past. As in not the present, a point that is before the present. Some time that is not now, and not the future.

are those 7's in the same room with us right now?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

In the room? Heavens no, that'd be absurd. But they're in the Nether, everywhere I go I see it's face. I walk 7 blocks this way and end up 7 blocks from where I started. Coincidence? I think not!

This is from the trivia section of the Nether wiki page. I remembered it being different too in the past. I think I played on a small or classic world where the ratio was only 1:3.

In Legacy Console Edition, the size of the Nether is limited, with bedrock walls surrounding it on all sides. The Overworld-Nether ratio varies depending on the world size: it is 1:3 for Classic and Small worlds, 1:6 for Medium worlds, and 1:8 (the same as Java and Bedrock editions) for Large worlds.

Edit: Removed link to outdated wiki to avoid SEO pollution.

Pretty please never link fandom

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I didn't even know I was on the fandom wiki until the other commenter pointed it out. What's wrong with fandom?

[โ€“] [email protected] 37 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hoo boy, where do I begin?

  • Fandom pages are incredibly obnoxious with how many ads they load, making them bloated and difficult to read for profit
  • Fandom bought Gamepedia and FORCED all the Gamepedia wikis to switch to the Fandom format, which has a bunch of ugly UI shit literally nobody likes or uses
  • Fandom tries to impede any attempt by users to migrate to a better hosting service, banning anyone it sees as promoting alternative wiki sites

TL;DR: it's basically Enshittification: the Company.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

That explains so much. I used to play legacy console but was always confused about why I wasn't traveling as far as I should have been when going to the nether.

This is the official wiki page btw. https://minecraft.wiki/w/The_Nether

With that netherrack texture, they may be on legacy console.

Rule of thumb is that Computers love base 2 numbers (2,4,8,16,ect) and hate prime numbers 7 and higher.
