Known chunk error?

[Howdanrocks]

found this at 1956, 918.

Has anyone else seen this?

Some of it makes for really cool spots. Also, watch out for random giant holes in the ground. I found 2 that I was just walking, and out of nowhere in front of me were giant cave/holes that went straight down for a good 40 blocks, but you could tell they were natural.

I think some of them look beautiful, including that one you posted, dan. I found this one error that created two waterfalls feeding a lake in the middle of the woods far NE. One of the waterfalls pours over a cave deep that goes into the earth. I made a big sign calling it "Serenity Cove". I'll try to upload a pic when I'm back from the weekend.

There are some large, icy cliffs in the north, stretching from horizon to horizon. I dub them the CLIFFS OF INSANITY, and will venture forth to get pics.

"Cliffs of Insanity" is a fun name. Call it an Adam Complex, but I was trying to think of a good name for all the errors in general, and I think I have it. When you venture out far enough to find the errors, you have reached the AMBITUS FAULT, or just the AMBITUS. I like the word fault, because it's a fault with the generation algorithm as well as a literal, geographic fault. "Ambitus" is the Latin word for "going around", and it's the root for the English word "ambit", which is the circumference of a thing. Anyway, if you like it, you can have it. It's free.

Yep, I've walked right through the center of that to where I have been mining at, in the sand.

Funny enough i think i recognize that place. I believe near that you will find a staircase cut into the mountain where i was mining , found diamonds , than died.

Serenity Cove: a beautiful oasis made by mistake.

I think that if ever I were to build a small town on this map, I would build it here.
