The History of Map Art - Minecraft/2b2t

I'm more impressed that the biggest map art isn't porn related, that would've been the biggest flex

My first item on 2b2t was.... some kind of map art

Maps are the one thing every game would need... A way to express yourself but also have a practical use.

"So, you just completely ruined maps because you could?" "Yes."

Born too early to explore the universe Born too late to explore the earth Born just in time to create an entire galaxy using maps.

For those wondering, the “Can’t Show on YouTube” on a red background was a Swastika (we knew at least one of them would be) and the one on a white background was hentai (we also knew at least one of them would be)

4:22 to anyone who is a programmer, that's why it's a problem to use signed integers when you dont need to. The integer could potentially store up to 65535 however since it was signed that means that half of that value is wasted and just takes up memory for no reason AND they run into that issue in the video. That's because when you make a signed integer it can store negatives (negative 32k to positive 32k) and since they have no reason to have negative values when counting the amount of maps there is litteraly no reason not to make it an unsigned integer because it would give it double space at no cost.. the only possible reason not to is because it might not look nice in code but that's stupid imo. For C# you could make an unsigned 16 bit integer this easily: "UInt16 num=0;" (opposed to "Int16 num=0;") and an unsigned 32 bit int is like this: "uint num=0;" or how I do it "UInt32 num=0;" (opposed to "int num=0;"). Thought this was worth commenting since I've never seen anyone adjust their code in such a way even though it is such an obvious and easy improvement that only takes 1 character usually.

im already seeing instagram reposting this and thw comments will say "he used a program for map art, not real"

In the distant future "Welcome to 420b420t where our team of dedicated map artists recreated the entire observable universe down to the very last atom in map art on the youngest anarchy server in minecraft"

That first picture is a genuine piece of art. Nobody can change my mind. That art is beautiful.

If each block equals 1 pixel on an image, 3.5 million blocks is just 3.5 megapixels which out phones can process in a fraction of a second. Crazy

Just an extra bit of history. Maps in item frames used to not connect in vanilla. I remember using a mod to get wall maps without the item frame edges. They added that feature very soon after item frames came out. Edit: Checked the wiki. Item frames came out in 1.4.2 and the full-block wall map update was in 1.7.2, exactly a year apart. Oct 25, 2012 and 2013. I was wrong about it being soon after lol

all i can make is a lil creeper face as my carpet ; -;

Ah yes the regular inquiry to Hause to finally update the damn server.

Even Anarchists can appreciate fine art.

it's crazy to think about how far we've come and how far we will be in a couple of years..

i swear 2b2t players have big egos, just do what 9b9t did, its smart and effective for now, and then when the update comes then roll back the plugin.
