Or two months and one week. There's absolutely no reason for me to go into this game, dig virtual sand, move inventory. I've proven to myself that the trillion block area a million by a million is completely insane. For one person with limited time, via surviving as a human in this actual life span. I've known this since the one billion block area, 1,000 by a million.

| 100 blocks by 200 blocks |
I didn't even have enough blocks in both of my main build hubs to finish this 20,0000 block area. Also, I got bored. And proved my point. Didn't even bother to look in the chests of other large builds at 750k and 950k down the M-rail. P.s. built in survival screenshot via flying in game mode creative.

| Flew up at night till level with 20,000 block area and flew away |
In-between this waste of time and moving old world builds into the latest world, I located three large rail loops and connected them.
 |
| Green line to 'Old Jump Town' crossing the M-rail zero by 46k something |
Two shots of the same junction tower area near, 500 ~ 2,345 connecting the loop.
The other rails are much longer. One is a stub from 'M' zero to 100k with 3.5 regions wide area and some land at the end to build a town, that is now only a platform. The other two lines connect to the rail that goes out to BFF's city and then back across to the Old Jump Town. I think these three rails added about 350,000,000 area to the final world, yes 7 zeros, 350+ million, but still, not an impressive dent in the million by million
1, 000, 000, 000, 000 blocks area goal.
Oh, and a side note. Thinking about inventory and survival numbers. Versus cloned blocks and area added by moving region files. A while back when I had a lot, a lot of inventory from digging stair wells in cliffs. Found a hole, an error gap near 1,750 the other two region wide gap. And attempted to fill it with a sort of one structure "village"? And took a lot of screen shots because, funny sort of? Dunno. Here they are.

| Found hole June 2024 |
Took two angles of same possible town sized hole. Fun? Who knows yet.
 |
| same hole day found June 12th 2024 |
 |
| later that night |
 |
| ... and the next |
 |
| ... and the next day |
 |
| ... and so forth |
 |
| ...still building in survival |
 |
| ... at some point I went and dug some more blocks. A lot more. |
 |
| It's July 2024 now, there's a tower. |
Actually, quit playing for a while, or tried to. But, life kept being lame so eventually escaped into the virtual world where all the pieces fit together seamlessly.
 |
| This path built in Sept. 2024 |
 |
| Same from the side angle |
Actually built other areas and returned when I had dug more blocks and sand for glass. Mapped a lot a couple worlds back. It's kinda fun. But, the maps don't move from world to world, they have to be remapped. I save them in chests that get moved with the region files then fly around with the maps. I don't feel like doing this in the latest world yet. I do like the contrast between before and after, and want to change things more dramatic like before I remap areas like this half built town.

| haven't moved or made new maps yet |
Anyways, this hole is way larger than 20,000 blocks. And why I didn't have enough blocks to cover that area this year, 2025. The inside is pretty cool. But, it's still only half built. What does this illustrate?... building in survival versus using structure blocks and cloning in creative mode? No clue as to why that's important. In the real non-game world I've made some physical art projects that are tens of thousands of sheets of paper. Two projects. And the time and work? In this game it's so easy it's play. I would actually break my back if I attempted to pick up and move the physical art all at once. This is not "intelligent". But, it is about understanding how physics versus digital relate. I mean bits are physical, electric, memory, but ... not the same as paper. And what does that mean?
P.s. BFF held still, not the human. He's dangerous to play near in the game, find your virtual self cloned inside a mountain sized pyramid or something. This is where he is standing actually, inside a giant building maze waiting for the human to return. Oh, and I added the frog light, and a few more, it was too dark in there. They changed the transparency of slabs, the glow stone under the blocks used to glow a lot more, since a couple updates ago.
