They are named from the blocks around the cave rather than read from the save. ## Structures 11 of 19 confirmed present. A pinned marker outranks the scan; anything not confirmed is what the scan alone recorded. Counted inside the built map. Past its edge the world keeps generating normal vanilla Minecraft chunks, so structures not confirmed here can still generate out there. ### Surface (0 of 7) - Desert pyramids: Not checked - Igloos: Not checked - Jungle pyramids: Not checked - Pillager outposts: Not checked - Swamp huts: Not checked - Trail ruins: Not checked - Woodland mansions: Not checked ### Underground (5 of 6) - Amethyst geodes: Included - Ancient cities: Included - Dungeons / monster rooms: Included - Mineshafts: Included - Strongholds: Included - Trial chambers: Missing ### Ocean (4 of 4) - Buried treasure: Included - Ocean monuments: Included - Ocean ruins: Included - Shipwrecks: Included ### Portal structures (1 of 1) - Ruined portals: Included ### Settlements (1 of 1) - Villages: Included ## Loot tables 26 of 37 confirmed present. Confirmed means the scan read the table out of the save. Not observed means the structure carrying it was not seen in this export, not that the table is impossible here. Counted inside the built map.

Rekances is a hand-made survival world of 3,073 × 3,073 blocks, made with WorldPainter, World Machine, Gaea, Axiom and WorldEdit, built for Minecraft Java 1.19. You download the world folder and play it like any other save, in singleplayer or on your own server. ### How big is Rekances? 3,073 × 3,073 blocks, so about 9 million blocks of surface. Walking from one edge to the other takes roughly 12 minutes at normal walking speed. The terrain runs from Y -64 to Y 320. 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 Rekances need? Rekances is built for Minecraft Java **1.19**. 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](https://mcmeddon.com/faq#install-bedrock). ### Which biomes are in Rekances? 26 in total. The land is mostly Plains (37.6%), Stony Peaks (14.7%), Snowy Slopes (14.6%) and Badlands (6.6%), counted as shares of the land rather than of the whole map. Water covers 22.3% of the map, and land 76.1%. By volume this world's caves are Normal Caves (67.8%), Lush Caves (25.3%) and Dripstone Caves (5.1%). The [cave breakdown](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20220922-rekances#caves) has the rest. The [full breakdown](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20220922-rekances#biome-composition) is further up this page, with every biome and its share. ### Which structures are in Rekances? 11 of the 19 structure types the scan checks are confirmed present: surface (0/7), underground (5/6), ocean (4/4), portal structures (1/1) and settlements (1/1). Not confirmed: Desert pyramids (not checked), Igloos (not checked), Jungle pyramids (not checked), Pillager outposts (not checked), Swamp huts (not checked) and Trail ruins (not checked). "Searched, not found" means the scan looked and came up empty; "not checked" means it has not been looked for yet. [The structure list](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20220922-rekances#structure-coverage) above names every one of them. ### Is Rekances ready to play in survival? Yes. A scan of the world file confirms loot tables, structures, animals and ores, so the survival loop runs from the first night: chests hold the game's real loot tables, mobs spawn as they do anywhere else, and you can mine, farm and build without adding anything. It plays in vanilla Minecraft, with no mods, no datapacks and no creative mode.

Every world is built on the one before it, and Rekances brought 5 logged changes into the line: new terrain, new assets and fixes to the generators that made it. From its list: - steeped/sharpened cliffs - heavier river carving (wip) - adjusted main land erosion The [full list](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20220922-rekances#world-changelog) is on this page. These are the world's own additions, not patches released after it, so an older download is not missing them. ### Can I look at Rekances before downloading it? Yes.
