I would like to bring up the regeneration script again... It's been a very long time since we've talked about this. Right now 1.14 is on a complete standstill due to some of the major bugs that are keeping it from being server friendly. That being said, we currently have a serious lack of 1.13 content. I have the occasional iceberg near me, maybe a coral reef, but at best I have a few chunks of it before it is completely cut off by old ocean biome. I have searched far and wide to find larger swaths of new content, and I have indeed found some, but the bit I have found has either been claimed, or unclaimed (and hence, I claimed it) and immediately started to pillage for all of the valuable blocks because I know how rare the biome is on the server.
I know we have some ocean content, and I don't want to knock what we have, but I have four heart of the sea and it took me a solid four weeks straight of exploring to find those - most buried treasure maps led to no chest at all. If we had purely 1.13 oceans it would take me at most two hours, and the worst I'd find was that someone else got to it before me. I don't know how difficult the coding is, I just know that having to go so far for ocean content isn't right for what was dubbed "the update aquatic." Something should be done, and soon. We already missed out on woodland mansions, but hopefully 1.14 will give us what we wanted from mansions and those won't be a problem. We really shouldn't miss out on what the update aquatic has to offer, though. I don't know if this is a problem I would have to throw money at, or if it would help to provide more minds to be able to work out the kinks, I just know that this is a serious problem that should be addressed, and I thought I should be the one to address it.
I really would like to know what the community is thinking on this, I can't be the only frustrated one.
Not the brightest bulb in the box... but at least I'm not the broken bulb.
