Maths is that subject no-one likes, right? Well, yes, but it also produces some pretty awesome looking things. As a follow up to yesterday’s post about three_two‘s Menger Sponge, here’s a Mandlebulb Fractal that you can play a survival game of Minecraft on (or in, I guess?).

To explain what a Mandlebulb Fractal is would take a long time, and is way above my expertise. The long and short of it is that it’s numbers, and when you create a model of them, it looks awesome.

Here are the specifics of the map:

Mandlebulb fractal roughly 256x256x256 populated with Minecraft decorations, ores, mineshafts and even a stronghold! Natural biomes. A few things to note:

Unfortunately because there’s not a lot of real estate at the stronghold’s height level, it’s just kind of floating there.

Ore distribution has been vertically stretched to double what it is in vanilla. For example if diamond ore normaly spawns from y=0-16, in the fractal it’s y=0-32.

The fractal does not meet any of the spawn conditions of lava lakes, water lakes and dungeons so, there are none. Single water and lava sources can be found.

As you might have noticed in the image, no villages.

Beyond the fractal no land will generate, just an ocean of air.

You can download the map and play it for yourself.
