Joseph Braybook, intern at the Ordnance Survey mapping authority of Great Britain and fan of Minecraft, spent his time at OS working with the Innovation Labs team. His time there was well-spent, culminating in an impressive virtual representation of England, Scotland and Wales. The enormous map covers 224,000 square kilometres of mainland GB and some surrounding islands, equating to 22 billion Minecraft blocks.
Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man were not included as these fell outside the scope of the Ordnance Survey.
The map took just two weeks to complete and was put together by inputting two types of Ordnance Survey data sets into a proprietary program. One data set contained height data which the program used to build up blocks to the required height while the other contained image data and was used to determine block type. Each block represents 50 square metres and an average desktop system was tasked with compiling the final map which surprisingly took only seven hours.
thats a mossy stone square area, above it will be a monster spawner. its why ur seeing so many fall through a hole to you. just go up there and place torches on each side of it to stop it spawning.
They are all worried about security chicken little and all that. Im sure plenty of people drove their toyota's when the break recall was issued as well
when all those scares were about? not one bit of trouble.. java 7 latest installed all the time here, play mc and its mods a fair bit still and never had any issues. just be sensible and watch ur pc and check it regular and one should be fine.
You can disable the internet integration too without affecting functionality of games like Minecraft, browsers have their inbuilt systems anyway from what I understanding so it shouldn't be required for normal use.
(You just need the JRE runtimes so the software works.)
Of course apparently it's not a very good engine for games either but there's not much that can be done about that.
(Minecraft has that utility mod that can really help with performance though, quite useful.)
EDIT: Oh and yes there's a lot of updates to the program, Java 7 r40 or what it's at now so every few weeks there's a update to install which gets a bit tedious but at least it helps with security or what else they're fixing, thankfully installing new versions is pretty simple.
(Just open up the control panel afterwards and turn off unwanted functions, browser integration sticks though so it should remain disabled.)
Well they made some terrain changes quickly but then switched to working on command blocks and other stuff which doesn't relate to terrain generator at all. Wish they'd make as many terrain changes as possible. I mean some changes to cave generation, a couple of new ores or gems, ocean mobs and corals/etc.

of course but you get multitudes of that without waiting for them to update to it lol, I love the coral stuff, glowing coral types etc etc, the maps that generate with the right mods are probably beyond anything minecraft vanilla will ever get to for a long long time.
The biggest changes to MC have been under the hood and I highly welcome this! Previously it was notched together, now they are packaging everything in a good was and apparently also rewrote the whole netcode, where I hope for the biggest changes and improvements
Oh and this game would highly benefit from multithread calculations. I mean, you could just give each core a chunk to calculate and already benefit greatly!
