# Faldokar

*3k, 1.21.5, Diverse hilly Islands · survival friendly, Download, Java, Minecraft World*

A 9km² custom Minecraft Survival Map, created by McMeddon. Its a simple little world, with 2 mountains, and a lot of cliffs, split into 3-4 little islands. A mountain range in the nord, mangroves in the center, and diverse forests in the south. 

This map is a world where i tried to iron out some issues i noticed from previous projects, and implementing the groundwork for future worlds like the splitup of the mangroves and improving the biomes for the oceans.

## Questions about this world

### What is Faldokar?

Faldokar 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 26.3. You download the world folder and play it like any other save, in singleplayer or on your own server.

### How big is Faldokar?

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 Faldokar need?

Faldokar is made for Minecraft Java **26.3** and opens in **1.21.5** and later. Between the two, anything added after the release you load it in is removed or replaced (new biomes load as plains), so 26.3 or newer shows the world as built. Releases older than 1.21.5 cannot open it.

Bedrock players need a converted copy. See [the Bedrock notes in the FAQ](https://mcmeddon.com/faq#install-bedrock).

### Which biomes are in Faldokar?

38 in total. The land is mostly Stony Shore (12.9%), Beach (11.6%), Plains (10.7%) and Forest (9.2%), counted as shares of the land rather than of the whole map.

Water covers 36.0% of the map, and land 63.6%.

The [full breakdown](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20261028-faldokar#biome-composition) is further up this page, with every biome and its share.

### Which structures are in Faldokar?

16 of the 20 structure types the scan checks are confirmed present: surface (5/8), underground (6/6), ocean (3/4), portal structures (1/1) and settlements (1/1).

Not confirmed: Desert pyramids (missing), Pillager outposts (missing), Woodland mansions (missing) and Ocean monuments (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](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20261028-faldokar#structure-coverage) above names every one of them.

### Is Faldokar 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 Faldokar?

Every world is built on the one before it, and Faldokar brought 7 logged changes into the line: new terrain, new assets and fixes to the generators that made it.

From its list:

- updated terrain textures
- increased subbiome sizes from 3k to 4k value
- integrated mangroves into the new biomes system

The [full list](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20261028-faldokar#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 Faldokar before downloading it?

Yes. [Open it in the 3D explorer](https://mcmeddon.com/worlds/20261028-faldokar/explore) and fly the real terrain in your browser, with the biomes, the caves and the marked structures. Nothing to install.
