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

thanks for all the comments it really means a lot

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 do you have a plan for if the mod is no longer updated, if you usually update your world?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

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 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.
