Bringing in Acarnion the 1.17/1.18 Cave and Cliff terrain features to this world aswell as dozens of Structure Updates to you. Acarnion is a huge 16km² custom Minecraft Multibiome continent and the second iteration to Zianberg. Including Spaghetti Caves, Lush Caves, Dripstone Caves, Crystal Caves, and Crystal Geodes, and plenty of exciting landscapes. This map is the second iteration of the inclusion of custom caves, leaned closer towards the original style of the upcoming 1.18 Update.
A 4 km by 4 km realistic Minecraft island with custom biomes, made by McMeddon. It's an Island with multiple huge mountain ranges, steep cliffs, falls, plateaus, layered terrains and hard eroded areas with: new swamp regions, pine biomes, taiga/spruce, oak, and custom arctic regions. Landform adjusted river systems and temperature-determined Biomes. Find custom mineshafts and explore the custom advanced biomes. Explore along the paths that connect the world or take a boat and cross the ocean with a near-seamless transition to the default Minecraft Vanilla generation.

🚧⚠ Issues / Things to be aware about |
As complexity rises, a small tweak or change can have unintended consequences, flaws, be just poor choices, or I maybe hit certain possibility limits of programs. These maps are really complexe and hard to make, with dozens of steps and hundreds of layers to apply in the right order. And im just a non-magical-wizard boi making sometimes either a poor decision or an unintended mistake, but I want to let you know what might have an impact when playing this world and here’s what I´ve noticed:
- 1.17 Bedrock: Villagers couldn't be moved to bedrock (reason can't be converted - program limitation), behavior pack to spawn the villagers is included
- 1.17 Bedrock: Some Chests don't have loot, unfortunately (reason: program limitation)

🞂 Timelapse? Showcase? Breakdown?
Uploaded, coming soon (follow the yt channel)
🞂 Do you do commissions?
No - since i dont have the time for the additional workload. My Current workload with management, development and content creation is pretty packed already.
🞂 PMC Member: "[...] Out of curiosity, if someone else uses your world to build things in and wanted to share, do you just request a credit?"
- Yes always - please credit the origins of work / the creator. (people want to know where to find the stuff)
- Redistributing or selling my Intellectual Property without consent is not allowed.
- Showcase Submissions are allowed
- (Backside info: I've spent hundreds of hours to achieve the knowledge to create those maps. And can spend days on creating each Map. For the casual people: I encourage you to play..test and build on these maps. I actually like to see what you can do on/with them. I see my maps as canvases for people to explore and enjoy... what i don't like is when people just plainly say: I made that canvas , that's mine. [analogy end] It's IP theft, disrespectful, and ungodly frustrating to deal with. And there are either Kids who just entered the internet and dont know better and there are 3rd Parties that do that intentionally)
