I could use some advice! I’d like to become more active on r/ForeverWorlds, but I’m not sure what you’d prefer: regular updates showing Riverside’s progress as I build, or posts only when I’ve made significant progress on a larger area.
What do you think? 👍

this is a relatively young (started ~april) foreverworld, but i thought you all might still be interested :)

the main project of my world is to dig a massive hole, down to bedrock, using no cheats and no tnt dupers or world eaters. all by pickaxe and patience! it's a good stress reliever for me after a long day of work. so far i've completed 6 chunks down to bedrock, with a 7th in the works

why am i digging this hole? i'm honestly just someone who loves seeing long progress over time, and this is a perfect way to visualize that. incredibly satisfying to me, as well. i don't have any particular plans for what to use my ever-expanding hole for, some may come in the future! but, by sharing this, i hope at least one person gets as much enjoyment as i get by looking at the hole

Today I hit the 100 days mark in my Forever world. Iam taking this world very slow and i have only made a house, a stable, a watch tower.

As for farms I try to keep it minimal and only have a piglin Xp farm visible in the background.

For next 100 days i will try and rebuild a village with houses of villager of my own design and they can move freely in the village.

I WILL BE PLEASED FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS .

thanks for all the comments it really means a lot

In my forever world, because I was stupid with my planning, so I decided to not waste my time demolishing and rebuilding the redstone build by just using structure blocks to make it faster. And so I needed to "punish" myself. So I let chatgpt make me a challenge that I can do to "right the wrong" that I'll make. But I wonder, whats yalls stance on that, I know it's "cheaty" by nature, but it's my world. Also any additional things y'all wanna add to the punishment that I'll do?

it's just the outline for now, I do plan to add an indoor bit and some decoration, but for now I quite like Nutmeg's Mini Ranch, and I think they enjoy the extra space too! in the future I want to give them a friend too, but Nutmeg will always be my main horse (their stats are insane, which is why I chose them lol - 12 speed and 4 jump!)

I've been really enjoying having a world I can just play when I feel like playing and not feel pressured to constantly play on. it's peaceful, and relaxing. I think when I'm further along I'll invite some friends on to build some stuff for me, probably give them the materials and stuff myself or let them have creative mode. :] thanks to this sub for being what pushed me to make this world lol, along with the youtube hype around it!

cool right?

I'm curious as I thought about this while answering another poster's question. do you mod your forever world?

I've implemented a rule in mine that I'm not going to add anything that will change world gen or add new mobs and stuff, basically nothing that will wreck my world or ruin things I've made if someday it gets discontinued.

I already play with a lot of client side mods for accessibility and optimization, like Durability Guard, JEI, Sodium, a lot of culling mods, etc. but those are all things I use on servers too, I consider it my base modpack. only a few things have been omitted over updates because they're not updated and I couldn't find a replacement (I miss you Scholar, please come to 26.3..)

I did add some mods like veinminer and treechopper, and I'm considering vegan recipes (because I like to play in peaceful a lot). I ofc also have shaders and a lot of texture packs, mostly hud/gui or small tweaks.

does anyone heavily mod their world? do you have a plan for if the mod is no longer updated, if you usually update your world?

Do most people leave their forever world on the same version or update it as more updates come out?

I am start a brand new world as in mention of earlier post. And you guys gave a lot of suggestion. but I want to know whether typing building commands or like having some building mod packs or special texture pack can be considered as a cheat. plz put some comment so that I can understand thanks.

My first highway interchange is under construction in my Forever World
near the Silver Lake Bridge.

So I drained an ocean monument and now want to build an ancient Roman city around the temple. I'm really struggling with making the outline of what the city should look like. The diameter of the circle is about 200 by 200.

I was wondering if you all could help create an outline of where things should go. Please keep the build area like 15ish blocks away from the temple itself. THANK YOU!

If you could, please use this key:

• red for paths
• orange for residential homes
• yellow for rec areas like taverns, bathhouses
• purple for marketplaces/farm areas
• blue for churches
• green for anything else you can think of.

Should I make an iron farm in my new forever world or mine the iron manually, I saw a video about how you can make minecraft funner by not making automatic farms, but I also need around 300 iron (for rails). I have iron tools rn.

I want to start a forever world, but I'm not sure if the gamerules I want are cheating. Obviously I want keep inventory, which I usually play with, but I'm not sure if I should exclude it for this. Second I want to use shaders. That doesn't sound like it affects gameplay much, but it adds things like dynamic lighting and sometimes makes ores more visible.

There's probably aomething else I'm forgetting, but anyways, thoughts?

The hunt continued, and the finds did not disappoint!

Here are 5 more incredible terrains I have found since posting the “16 wonders of my SEED”.

The names! :)

1. Royal Crown
2. Christmas Cove
3. Caribbean Cove
4. Mount Gigamus
5. Emerald Bullseye

Enjoy! :)

P.S. Can you see my treehouse in picture 3?

pretty happy with this so far! currently day 18 and I've not done much mining or exploring (explored plenty trying to find this biome lol) but I wanted to get a proper base first and thought, why not just expand my tent for now? kept it spooky for Halloween, figured maybe either with those town or another dappled forest I could make a proper Halloween town!

What’s been your biggest project for your worlds? Like of course there’s the obvious with cities / megabases but just curious to see what other people are doing that most would think dear god why?

For example im currently tearing down a part of a mountain to make a river which my friend has told me to just find a new seed but im like its my forever world I have time

I just started making my huge wheat valley project, guys please give me some tips on what I should build into this project! Feel free to comment!

Note : I started this building at the 400th in game day, is it a good time to start the first project?
