So I saw this thread about a challenge mode where you start a new world and conquer a dungeon as fast as possible:

Hey, this is a cool spawn point. Umm... Oh ya, back to challenge. Need some wood.

LOL! Piggy you're not a monkey! Get down from there! He he...

Wow, what's that behind you, Piggy? WOW! This place is cool!

Um... What was I doing... Oh ya, dungeon. Yada, yada, yada, skeletons are mean. Spiders too. Ok I sucked at that. Let's explore! On peacefull!

Cool, look at that mountain of sand. I'll just hit F1, F2 and post a screenshot on Reddit with some witty title like "Got Sand?" LOL! Karma is fun... what the...

What is that?.

Holy fuck! Now that's a biome!

Floating sand island? That's got to be a first! Wow...

Is that...?

I'm going to look around this corner... Oh, my, god!

This place can't possibly get any better. I was wrong.

Only thing that I haven't seen is a lava fall. Oh, never mind

Wait is it getting dark? NO!! Sun don't go down! I'm not done exploring yet!

TL/DR: Notch is fucking awesome.

A number have people have called into question whether or not this subreddit is really necessary. I considered this very carefully before creating it and I wanted to explain the conclusions I came to.

1. This subreddit is not so much about minecraft the game as it is about the landscape generation system used in the game, and appreciation for the gorgeous scenery it can create. I would have created this subreddit even if it had been released solely as a terrain generation demo with no game element at all because I have a personal appreciation for this stuff, and I could see that many others in /r/minecraft do as well.

2. This subreddit will eventually be something of a gallery of naturally generated landscapes from the game. You could visit this subreddit and just surf gorgeous scenery, possibly even deduce some things about the natural laws that govern the minecraft world.

3. If nothing more, it will minimize the number of 'view from spawn' and 'quit it with all the view from spawn' posts in the main /r/minecraft sub.

We've grown 54 subscribers in a day, so I feel pretty good about this subreddit being an answer to something the community might want. We should probably now discuss some guidelines. I don't intend on setting them myself, lets use this thread as an open forum on how exactly this subreddit should work.

Thanks for subscribing, any advice and suggestions are more than welcome :)

As a result of the occasional mismatch between two chunks, this cave happened to line up with the water, to a very great effect.
