Jungles in old maps?

[FlowerChild]

Has anyone found a jungle biome in a pre-1.2 world?

Curious, as I've yet to find one, yet I've never seen any confirmation that they are actually unable to generate.

[morvelaira]

I've not found any yet.

I have found one on my map. it fucks with terrain generation so I have enormous sheer cliffs now. which kind of sucks.

Yeah, those are just standard terrain features on my map by now :)

I believe jungles were coded to not appear in worlds prior to 1.2. Jen did tweet about it when they were first implemented. I'll try to find the tweet when I get home.

[morvelaira]

The tweets when the snapshot that did first contain the jungles said that they would not appear on old maps.

I read that that might have been changed when they decided to bake the biome information into the map. But I can't confirm that. Certainly some of the LP servers seem to have gotten them easily enough, though I don't know if they modded the world file to get it.

[FlowerChild]

Yeah, that was an old tweet, and I saw nothing further that backed it up. No info on the wiki for example.

[FlowerChild]

Confirmed that they're there. Just found a jungle in my main world.

[morvelaira]

And it was said... woot.

...and, after exploring the jungle a bit...

I just cracked myself up with my own sound effects on cat-breeding :)

I have got to go breed some cats now...

<shrug> They don't bother me too much. Everything is just made of blocks in MC, including the "continents" ;)

You can always decorate them with vines :P

[Cybermario]

that's true but vines will not be enough, i may be forced to terraform and reshape those by myself (yeah im that kind of guy)

Pour cement off the ledge :)

Ug, I'd never consider doing this with my world. I've got kilometers of these kinds of cliffs.

I had recently started a new map so I have my little "island" of old terrain and then and now a huge sea of new terrain beyond my cliffs.
I am actually considering using tnt to blast a giant moat around the cliffs so that they look less natural but more plausible.

[DreamsofFury]

I havent found any new terrain in my old world yet....and I cant remember what way the mainland I originally got my animals from...downside to starting in the middle of an ocean biome I guess.

[Cybermario]

The new jungle biome on my old world is close to the swamp that is near a village, cannot stand those cliffs. Fear to wonder in new areas

I did some agressive pruning on my map from Alpha ~1.5, and now it's filthy with the things. There's even one of those Taiga-Jungle combos.

Most of the deleted chunks had already been deleted once or twice before, so there aren't many new cliffs. However, this time the borders are all ocean, so I have an L-shaped continent to conquer from coast to coast!
