Japan - 日本

Konnichiwa! Have you ever wanted Japan recreated in Minecraft? Well, this is your time to take a walk through the lands of the rising sun. This map can be used to play survival (not a 100% survival experience as the map hasn't got structrues) but it's mostly designed for servers or creative mode.

Here are the highlights of this map:

Approximately 5000x5000. (Notice that 60% of that area is water)



Climate variations: Biomes, trees and ground cover change depending if you're in the south, middle or north of Japan and also depending on height and degree of inclination of a slope!



Realistic topography: Everything is where you expected them to be, I used a heightmap that I made with some tools. (It took me a lot of time and effort to do this)



Realistic caves : I'm using a cave preset that I made using WP, so now the caves are going to be way more realistic.
