World I Prefer The Oceans Without The Mountain Range Borders

I understand that the Wynn builder team wanted to create a world border so people don't just wander off into eternity and off the world, but setting up mountains that wrap around the entire ocean that separates Gavel and Wynn kinda breaks the emersion that it is an ocean in the first place. It ends up feeling more like a massive lake than an ocean.

When you can reach Gavel from Wynn without ever touching water, it doesn't really give off a who "two different regions" kind of vibe. I always feel like the ocean feels a little small whenever I'm travelling through it only to hit a massive wall at the end.

I think it would be better to get rid of the two walls connecting Gavel to Wynn and replacing them with just barrier block with the water extending out a little further off out of render distance, along with a few distant islands. That way, the ocean can actually feel like an ocean and not just a big lake.

What do you think?

 

Might be a good idea, but it wouldn't make much sense in the world wise. I never really paid it two thoughts before if there were mountains surrounding the water or not, but I get what you mean. I would probably be against it or indifferent but it will be interesting to see what others think

 

Imo that would be even worse, especially because the barriers would be visible.

Also the borders has some quite nice places

 

My biggest problem with this is that it would no longer fit canonically.
As in, the entire lore of Corkus (apart from Avos) is that the humans from Fruma went over the mountains.

 

they're called provinces for a reason you know

 

I agree although I think they should only remove the Easten Mountains, that way corkus lore still fits and it could just be a large bay

 

It’s called an ocean for a reason you know.

 

It is called a fantasy game for a reason you know

 

I don't think you can make the world border without making it sounds obvious. I don't really care much about this though, its a minecraft world after all

 

Maybe instead of just having a wall of barrier blocks, you could teleport the player back a few blocks and have the game say something like 'Storm clouds gather in the distance, it would be unwise to sail alone...'

This also means room for expansion, where you could have a seaskipper type thing only a bigger boat that can venture into the greater ocean so you could visit new islands (Also, hence why Relend - was it? - in a fantastic voyage has a bigger ship to withstand larger oceans so you can visit gateway island)

 

Teleport spam, bugs

 

I guess that's the sad reality with suggest any features; the plethora of bugs that will surely come with them

 

no more barriers
