World generation [ ]

Caves

• Completely overhauled.
• At present stretch down to Y=-64.
• The caves now generate in ii layers of unlike stone bases depending on the depth.
  • The layer above Y=8 is made up of regular stone.
  • Stone transitions to deepslate from Y=8 to Y=0.

  • The game first checks if in that location is whatever bedrock at Y=0.
    • If boulder is detected, the game and so checks if each column in a chunk has air at Y=0. New terrain generates merely under columns with non-air blocks.
    • If there is no bedrock whatsoever at Y=0, the whole chunk does not get new terrain beneath.
• The quondam bedrock layer between Y=0 and Y=4 in old chunks gets replaced with deepslate.
  • A new boulder layer is placed between Y=-64 and Y=-60.

Command format [ ]

/jfr

• When enabled, begins profiling with Java FlightRecorder, too as the post-obit custom events:

  • minecraft.ChunkGeneration: Time taken to generate individual chunk stages
  • minecraft.PacketRead / minecraft.PacketSent: Network traffic
  • minecraft.WorldLoadFinishedEvent: Initial earth loading duration
• The profiling can exist stopped in-game by using /jfr end.
• If it is started from an external source, the JFR events for network packets are aggregated instead of one outcome per packet.
