Pirut··on Show HN: A Minecraft mod that generates the world at 1:1 scale
I saw someone posting their version of Switzerland at 1:1 scale and selling it so I figured I'd post my mod I've been working on that does the whole world at 1:1 scale and is free.

Distortion isn't too bad until you get to the arctic, but by then its all white so you don't really have a reference point to judge against anyways

Thanks! It is optimized to work on servers so if anyone wants to host it they can.

Funnily enough, I have been dabbling at rebuilding this to work with this project: https://github.com/ludovic111/horizon

The only thing about rewriting it in rust is that no other mods will work with this and the thing that got me really excited about building this is using Create Aeronautics with it.

I used Web Mercator to flatten the map, so its "1:1" scale, but obviously not perfect because it is on a flat plane.

I’ve actually been building the same thing except with the whole world.
