New Minecraft Map Format Announced
14/02/12 12:19 | Category: General | Views: 86
Mojang announced today a new map format for Minecraft to prepare for modding, especially to allow for more block types, but also to improve other areas of the game (such as map height). Maximum build height has been increased to 256 (was 128), empty sections of the world are not loaded into memory, and block ids have been increased to 4096 (was 256) by adding a 4 bit data layer (similar to how meta data is stored). In addition, block ordering have been changed from x/z/y to y/z/x in order to improve compression, and packets for sending chunks have been updated (a full 128-high chunk is smaller than the old format, and a chunk with lots of empty space is much smaller). The files of the current format (“McRegion”) will remain in your save folder, if you need to restore them for some reason. Visit this page for more details.

During a Q&A session about Max Payne 3, Rockstar Games revealed that they are considering a L.A. Noire sequel. "While there won’t be any more DLC or additional content for the current release of L.A. Noire (we’re all too busy working on Max Payne 3, GTAV and other games to come), don't count out the possibility of a new game in the L.A. Noire franchise in the future. We simply have not decided anything.". Thanks: Develop.
