## Questions about this world

### What is Hacarion?

Hacarion is a hand-made survival world of 3,072 × 3,072 blocks, made with WorldPainter, World Machine, Gaea, Axiom and WorldEdit, built for Minecraft Java 1.20. You download the world folder and play it like any other save, in singleplayer or on your own server.

### How big is Hacarion?

3,072 × 3,072 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 Hacarion need?

Hacarion is built for Minecraft Java **1.20**. 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 Hacarion?

27 in total. The land is mostly Plains (27.0%), Frozen Peaks (15.9%), Desert (14.7%) and Snowy Slopes (12.0%), counted as shares of the land rather than of the whole map.

Water covers 26.6% of the map, and land 72.9%.

The [full breakdown](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20230523-hacarion#biome-composition) is further up this page, with every biome and its share.

### Which structures are in Hacarion?

5 of the 19 structure types the scan checks are confirmed present: surface (0/7), underground (4/6), ocean (0/4), portal structures (1/1) and settlements (0/1).

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/20230523-hacarion#structure-coverage) above names every one of them.

### Is Hacarion 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.

### What is new in Hacarion?

Every world is built on the one before it, and Hacarion brought 15 logged changes into the line: new terrain, new assets and fixes to the generators that made it.

From its list:

- fixed desert overlapping with other biomes
- decreased ice shells distance/range
- fixed arctic mask

The [full list](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20230523-hacarion#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 Hacarion before downloading it?

Yes. [Open it in the 3D explorer](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20230523-hacarion/explore) and fly the real terrain in your browser, with the biomes, the caves and the marked structures. Nothing to install.
