Overview

A realistic 4K Winter Glacier Terrain · 4k, JAVA, BEDROCK

Distordes is a medium-sized 4k Winter Glacier Survival Friendly Terrain for Java and Bedrock made by McMeddon. It contains glaciers, pathways, ice flows and huge snowy tundra and classical forests to get lost in. Explore the wild frozen ice of the north and skinny islands on the sea. Enjoy the wide grass fields of the south and travel alongside the coast on rocky beaches. This map was a follow-up map to kenmaya, a full winter map. The key idea behind this map was the frozen sea, the extremely large and Rocky Mountains as far as your eyes can travel you. Unfortunately, the height differences are not overwhelming in the mountains due to the scale of those. The coast is beautiful and you find every few meters a wonderful new spot.

Distorders is one of 94 worlds above 4K across, all in the same tier. See the tier

Questions about Distorders

What is Distorders?

Distorders is a hand-made survival world of 5,120 × 5,120 blocks, made with WorldPainter, World Machine, Gaea, Axiom and WorldEdit, built for Minecraft Java 1.16.1. You download the world folder and play it like any other save, in singleplayer or on your own server.

How big is Distorders?

5,120 × 5,120 blocks, so about 26 million blocks of surface. Walking from one edge to the other takes roughly 20 minutes at normal walking speed. The terrain runs from Y 0 to Y 255.

Outside that area the world keeps generating normal vanilla Minecraft chunks, so you never hit a wall, you just leave the built part behind.

Which Minecraft version does Distorders need?

Distorders is built for Minecraft Java 1.16.1. Newer releases normally open it fine. Opening it in an older release is not supported: blocks and structures added after that version cannot load, and the world can be damaged by the attempt.

Bedrock players need a converted copy. See the Bedrock notes in the FAQ.

Which biomes are in Distorders?

10 in total. The land is mostly Plains (54.4%), Snowy Plains (31.2%), Forest (13.3%) and Beach (1.0%), counted as shares of the land rather than of the whole map.

Water covers 41.1% of the map, and land 58.9%.

By volume this world's caves are Normal Caves (99.1%), Magma Caves (0.6%) and Ice Caves (0.2%). The cave breakdown has the rest.

The full breakdown is further up this page, with every biome and its share.

Which structures are in Distorders?

0 of the 20 structure types the scan checks are confirmed present: surface (0/8), underground (0/6), ocean (0/4), portal structures (0/1) and settlements (0/1).

Not confirmed: Abandoned camps (missing), Desert pyramids (missing), Igloos (missing), Jungle pyramids (missing), Pillager outposts (not checked) and Swamp huts (missing). "Missing" means the scan looked and it is not in the built map; "loot only" means its chests are here but the structure is not; "possible" means only indirect evidence was found.

The structure list above names every one of them.

What does the scan confirm is in Distorders?

A scan of the world file confirms ores and plants.

Not confirmed in this export: biomes, structures, animals, loot and caves. That means the scan did not find any, not that there are none.

The world contents report at the bottom of this page holds the item-by-item detail.

Where do I download Distorders?

From the download link on Patreon, also on the button at the top of this page.

Also available: the PlanetMinecraft project page, which carries the release notes and the known issues for this particular build.

Can I look at Distorders before downloading it?

Yes. Open it in the 3D explorer and fly the real terrain in your browser, with the biomes, the caves and the marked structures. Nothing to install.

How do I install Distorders on Java Edition?

  1. Unpack the archive you downloaded from Patreon.
  2. Open your saves folder. On Windows press Win + R and enter %appdata%\.minecraft\saves. On macOS it is ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves, on Linux ~/.minecraft/saves.
  3. Move the unpacked folder in. It must be the folder that contains level.dat, not a folder wrapping it.
  4. Restart Minecraft on 1.16.1 or newer and pick the world in singleplayer.

Full install guide

Can I play it on Bedrock, or on a server?

Bedrock needs a converted .mcworld copy, and converted worlds carry their own quirks around spawn, chests and villagers.

For a server, drop the world folder in as the server's world and start it.
