What does earth look like? This is a question that human beings have been thinking about since ancient times, but fortunately we are lucky enough that the ancients have proved the shape of the earth for us with practical actions. So what does the MC that can also be called a world look like?
Naturally, some people were curious about this question, so the player launched a vote on the SHAPE of the MC in the forum. Through the voting results, we learned that the number of players who thought mc was flat was the largest, followed by square, the least sphere, and some players chose other shapes. We will not talk about other shapes for the time being, because there is no scientific basis, so we will talk about spherical, flat and square.
The perception of the spherical shape comes from our real world, which is the earth. The ancients did not initially think that the earth was spherical, they thought it was a pot lid, so there is a saying that the sky is round. Later, after magellan's fleet completed a tour of the world, it was proved that the earth was round. Of course, now we know that the Earth is not a regular sphere, but an irregular sphere with slightly flattened poles. Based on this understanding, it is natural that some players will think that MC is also a sphere.
Of course, most players disagree, because the MC does not look like a sphere, we can't dig through the MC to the other side, and only the void that awaits us is dug through.
The flat world is the most recognized shape for the player, and such a conclusion is based on the player's actual game experience. First of all, we visually look at mc as a plane, and the boundary is also a good proof. But if the MC's world is just a plane, why can players dig down so deep? Obviously, plane is not a reasonable explanation, as to why so many players choose plane, personally feel that they are confusing planes and squares.
We often say that MC is a square world, so is the most reasonable shape of the square world a square? The square is actually similar to the plane, the main difference is that the square has a longitudinal distance, that is, we can mine down. But this square should have only one side of the ground where we are located, and the rest of the sides should be borders, and we can do longitudinal mining. Simply put, it is a cube shape, which is also the shape that Mojang has shown many times.
I don't know if you remember that on April Fool's Day in 19, Jeb once released a blue block planet, and many players thought that the theme of the next update was the space update. Although it turned out that Jeb was just joking, we can tell from the pictures he posted that the MC in Mojang's mind is a square shape.
In fact, each shape player can give a certain inference to prove, take the spherical shape, although everyone thinks it is impossible, but there are still players with the nether one grid equal to the overworld eight square characteristics of the verification reasoning, and the derivation process is very reasonable. Therefore, it doesn't really matter what the shape of the MC is, after all, even Mojang has not considered this problem. Since we all call MC a block world, it is natural to assume that MC is a square shape.
