      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Trying to find sand!

8 posts in this topic

This feels like a silly thing to start a discussion about, but I can't find sand, for heaven's sake. I've traveled thousands of blocks in my world, and all I ever see near the water is gravel. Is this a biome thing, or what? Is sand really that hard to find in real life? It's hard for me to imagine (I live in a desert). What if we could create sand by sifting dirt or something? That would be cool.

You can find sand on beaches. So go find an ocean and follow the shore.

It seems simple to find an ocean. "Keep going west, can't miss it." Haha. But seriously, roughly how big are the landmasses? 5000 blocks, 10000, more?

 

I thought sand was also found by rivers. I've found a few rivers, but no sand.

Usually it's the opposite for me - too many oceans, not enough landmass. Can you post the seed of the map you are using?

World seed is: -8335361358615055950

 

It's actually a pretty good seed. I've found very large deposits of copper, gold, and silver close to spawn, so my first metal was actually black bronze. There's hematite nearby that I haven't mined yet. I found graphite not too far south of spawn. There are lots of pigs and sheep (no cows yet). But that ocean continues to elude me. I haven't traveled super far in every direction yet though. We'll see.

If you head north about 2,000 blocks from spawn you'll find ocean and sand. Beach is around x=61 y=147 z=-11564

Haha. Just a few minutes after posting the seed, I ran into an ocean. X 202, Z -5842. Spawn was about Z -9900.

I didn't see your comment, Kitty. Looks like I was just a couple hundred blocks from the ocean you found to the north before I decided to explore south instead. Sigh.
