Wish the world was taller

This is a wishful thinking post. I know this isn’t possible currently because the server still has 1.8 components, and it would be a performance concern anyway. That’s why it’s not in suggestions.

We’ve had this idea in our head for a while of: what if Wynncraft had 1.18+ world height? basically anything up to 2k blocks tall. In particular, it would make mountainous areas like CotL a lot more interesting. (Obviously we’re assuming builds would be updated to take advantage of the height.)

What we’ve thought about most, though, is the Sky Islands and The Void. The Sky Islands could have more tiers and/or the tiers could be further apart. It might increase the “up in the sky” feeling, it might give more playable area, or it might make the islands feel less crammed together. A big thing would be moving The Void to physically underneath the Sky Islands. That would obviously break them being quest-locked, but this post is entirely wishful thinking, so I care more about the coolness factor that that would have. Imagine, if the spacing and render distance are just right, as you descend to the lowest of the Sky Islands, the Void islands start to fade into view below you.

It could be cool as hell for the Jungle too. The Jungle does have this tiered thing going on with the Troms Jungle and the Dernal Jungle. If that were more dramatic, it would be a lot of fun I think. Like, what if the Troms Jungle were on top of some mountains, and the Dernel Jungle sat in dark valleys far below? We’ve also imagined an overhaul to the Great Bridge where the Jungle end is connected to the top of an enormous tree, and the player has to descend the tree on their first trip into the Jungle. Like, if the Great Bridge were higher up, and connected to this tree on one end, and so when you cross the bridge, there’s the Troms Jungle below you, and then the Dernal Jungle below that. That would look awesome!

Anybody else thought about what a taller Wynncraft map could be like?

 

we should get a lower world, much deeper oceans and a far in the future endgame area that consists of a subterranean world below wynn where the roots of corruption grows freely throughout.

 

Void would very very likely stay separate, given its chunks broken off from the rest of reality

 

Yeah, and the reason you need the crane to lower you down is because it's too far of a fall and realistically you'd die of fall damage anyway

 

even the ahms void? in what capacity is a submersible realm-traversing?

 

omg, that would be so awesome

 

It's still part of the physical plane, it's just broken off from the rest. Think about it like a cookie. That cookie is our world and the plate it sits on is our reality. When the cookie is damaged, crumbs spill out onto the plate, pieces of the world that were once part of the cookie that are now detached from it.

________________________________

If the entirety of the cookie is 3d space - or, really, where you as a resident living on the cookie is physically capable of travelling - then those crumbs - while still part of the reality you exist in - are no longer accessible by traditional travel. You can't walk in any direction to reach them, because they're no longer part of this world. They're outside the fold, lonely little spots on the plate.
The reason there's seemingly an endless abyss below the Ahms Region is not because the world is hollow or flat, but because the Colossi are strong enough to rend reality apart. When the Ahms Colossus brought about the destruction of the region, it ripped this world open, leaving a gaping gash. Through this wound, the crumbs that broke off from the Colossus' destruction are accessible.

 

oh yeah also some raccoons keep scratching at the box the cookie is in trying to steal a bite of it.

 

raccoons being Orphion and DB?

 

I'm the raccoons, and I know you're hiding a chocolate chip cookie from me.

 

that is some deep wynn lore insight :0

 

but the submarine can get through the wound?

 

it's called "you took a contract"
as M.A.R.I.L.L.A says, the only thing more powerful than interdimensional travel is contractual obligation
