These landscapes are all lovely to look at, and more importantly, their call to adventure has never been louder.

Post-C&C, mountain ranges are truly mountainous, enticing wandering souls with heaven-piercing peaks and unrivalled vantage points. Previous updates have introduced some striking new biomes – the glowing coral reefs and dense jungles are among my favourites – but 2021’s Caves & Cliff Part 2 completely overhauled how terrain is put together. But they're great too.įor one thing, present-day Minecraft’s random world generation is capable of some genuinely stunning scenery. I forgot to mention Lush Caves and underground lakes in this article. Today, twelve years after I punched down my first tree, I’m still content to live in sparse wooden huts if it means more time for long hikes and spelunking trips. Exploring for its own sake, though, has repeatedly proven enough to draw me away from any planned building projects. You need food and shelter to live, and resources for both of those are unlikely to be waiting at your spawn point. Outside of Creative mode, exploration has always been core to Mojang’s blocky survival sandbox.
Putting form to my own megastructures, though? Can’t, sorry – I already have plans to wander around and gawp at nature. Like everyone with a shred of taste and a pair of mostly functional eyes, I can look at Minecraft and appreciate the outrageously ambitious and detailed builds that get shared around every few weeks.
