Worth noting that all of the ocean seafloor has been mapped via satellite, including its depth, at very low resolution. The 80-95% unmapped figure refers to more accurate mapping.
To add on to this, alot of sea floor isnt actually that interesting to explore, so there wouldnt be a reason to actually explore (send a human to observe) to 100% of the ocean floor, other then just "completing a task" for fun. I dont think alot of money would be spend on exploring empty sea when we could be spending it to explore the universe
Its so funny to me that in the decades that minecraft has existed, not one person was like “huh it would be really useful if water flow was disabled. Lets make a mod that does that” until now and then it took only an afternoon.

@For The n^th Time no but instead made it so he had to place every water black by hand or with world edit. and by hand edit it so it looks natural. seemingly wayyy more work, but absolutely worth it to get a clean and accurate view of the oceans in today's world.
This guy never ceases to amaze me... both positively and negatively. He possesses a brain so large, it almost holds him back from achieving true minecraft enlightenment.
the oceans being almost completely unexplored is actually a miscommunication. Humans physically haven't explored most of the ocean, but we *do* have rovers that *have.* NOAA has been mapping the ocean floor in their Okeanos Explorer ROV livestreams for years, so recreating the ocean floor in Minecraft is actually a thing that is very possible
I love the way how every other video Pippen posts is about the almost impossible challenges BTE faces and how they may never be fixed or will take a lot of time, despite that he keeps his head high and is determined to his last breath to complete this project by hook or crook no matter what obstacles he faces or what may even lie ahead. Mad Respect and Love to you!
not sure why you couldn’t find a mod for no water spread… I’ve seen it like 100 times lol. It’s so common. Skeppy had it on for every single time he built anything on a video lol.
The only mods we use are ones that affect the initial world generation. This means the worlds can be sent off to others who don’t have those mods unaffected. Beyond that we can’t use any mods, or the process of viewing our world won’t be universal.
I love how all of his videos are so philosophical even though he's talking about a block game, but then again, he's literally building the Earth in Minecraft.
It's a real shame that it's not feasible to re create key landmarks (or I guess seamarks?) of the ocean like the Marianas Trench, the Mid Atlantic Ridge or the Titanic's grave in this project. Those would be really cool to see in Minecraft but it'd dwarf the already monumental task of building all of our architecture. Mother Nature is a far greater architect than we are, we just fond a cheat code for land
I sure based on how ambitious this project is, once they are actually done building the earth then they can focus on minor tweaks including natural geological landmarks
You know how water can be different heights (3 blocks away from source vs. 6)? You could use that to make really subtle gains in the surface of the water so it wouldn't look chunky in any place.
10:31 World Edit, water glitches (pistons or sponge) stop water spreading. If you use a mod, you can create a new liquid. "Unmoving water" and keep the normal water. Then you have both available
The most obvious reason that was left entirely overlooked is that Minecraft is limited to less than 400 meters of workable elevation, while a recreation of Earth would need close to 20km of workable elevation, well over half of which would be under the sea level since the Mariana Trench is ~11km deep. Above water you need close to 9km to get in the peak of Mt. Everest. Crrrently we have at best enough space to do about a 1 : 50 scale height replica.
The ocean is such a cool topic. I loved the Aquatic Update for that same reason; but I still wish for oceans to be even bigger. Maybe with CubicGen we could make a world with oceans thousands of blocks deep with seamounts and undersea mountains.
Yeah the aquatic update changed things a bit but the ocean generation is still pretty boring. I would like to see it changed a little later, idk for what update though.
I'm 100% convinced this video was just made to flex a modded Skyrim setup in the strangest way possible. Skyrim's fields do NOT look like that by default. WAY too much grass there. Tree textures and vibrancy as well. That's definitely a modded setup.
We could use a block as a placeholder for areas that we don't know. Like Quartz Ore. It's an out-of-place looking block that can be used to coat the outside of areas we can't or aren't allowed to map, like the ocean floor and China.
This is actually something I thought about alot, that we only know 5% of the ocean and so cannot build it in Build The Earth. Funny that you just made a video about it. ALso amazing modder for letting you guys recreate the ocean's elevation. :3
pippen, you genuinely open my eyes on how complex and spectacular our world is, and how each factor depends on each other to function just perfectly. i’m so fucking happy build the earth exist.
you could also just make the oceans out of stained blue glass, then reserve water for rivers and shore-lines with barrier blocks to stop the few weird flow issues.
Ive played on servers where water and lava spread was disabled above a certian height, a measure to prevent people placing infinite cobble generators or other types of grief at world top.
solution for playing it in survival: make a custom liquid that looks exactly like water except it doesn't spread, and when it is picked up it's replaced with regular minecraft water, which would make it playable in survival
You know what's crazy about the no water spreading mod is that in Bedrock (Hive and Galaxite), they removed the ability for water to spread do you can build with water already. Crazy how this wasn't in Java yet.
It easily existed on Java way before bedrock even existed. Wynncraft has been using one since 2014, and there are probably hundreds of earlier examples.
I dunno if you know, but there’s a mod which adds snow, blocks, rain, and water/lava physics, AND water has actual functional waves AND the strength of waves can be modified at will… Mods called “physic mod”…
On MCME we use warps to take you to different maps. So to create all of Book Moria we have like four or five "auto warp" areas that once you pass through them automatically warp you to the new map there's a loading screen then your dumped onto the new area. Care is taken to make the entrance look like the exit. This might be a solution for you, at least on shopping lanes and on land.
For what it's worth, you can use world edit's brush tool to set structure block voids, it's a transparent block that entities can pass through but water and lava can't, its completely invisible, under most circumstances, and players can build on it if I recall right.
another thing that alters local sea level is gravimetric anisotropies. The sea level around Greenland for instance is something like 8 meters higher than average because of the gravitational pull of the Greenland ice sheet.
Maybe make a water source block as a separate liquid and make that liquid not spread? Idk if that's possible. Like a clone of it's properties except no spread
One thing you made a small mistake on is that water actually only shrinks to a certain point at low temperatures and then begins to expand again as it gets closer to the freezing point
10:40 Some good news. It seems they're adding a gamerule that lets you change water mechanics (to stop new water courses being made). My source is Snapshot 22w44a
fun fact: water is always perpendicular to the gravitational force pulling it down. however, since the earth is more or less dense depending on the place you’re in, the gravitational pull slightly varies, and, since different pulls make the perpendicular direction different in different places, the water is at different elevations.
Idea: a mod that forces water to seek the lowest block over its entire spread distance, as opposed to just adjacent blocks, and then choose only one of any available spread directions to continue. That would allow you to have more realistic streams down mountains and such. To go above and beyond, you could make it so that water sources detect eachother within a radius of say, one chunk when connected. When one source turns flowing and can spread, that flowing block remembers the number of sources connected to its source block, minus the number of connected flowing sources, let's call it (x). The flowing water will be able to spread in that number directions along its path, i.e. if x = 20, and a flowing block lands on top of a block with n = 4 available sides to spread it will do so, and the remaining streams will each remember 17/4 ((x-(n-1))/n) rounded down, or maybe a random whole number portion of the parent amount for variability. The lowest block seeking behavior means the stream will naturally stay together or spread apart appropriate to the surface it is flowing across. This could also be used to make some super interesting erosion mechanics, like having flowing water break soft blocks like dirt and sand when certain conditions are met, like x>30. I could go on, but I'm sure someone else with more modding experience would be better able to come up with good rules for making that work well.
You might need a mod which creates a new kind of water, which can be placed by players, which works like normal water, alongside the static water which cannot be interacted with (and connects with other water blocks of its kind so it looks like it's flowing)
Get a good developer to make 2 separate blocks… Ocean water and regular water. Fill the oceans with ocean water that doesn’t move and everywhere else with normal Minecraft water. (Idk anything about modding but this is my suggestion)
Pippen, the only Minecraft UA-camr starting videos with sentences like: "Water is an essential component of life" And then goes on with Minecraft water physics are fun instead of realistic, let's talk about how we use it for recreating the world.
does the no water spread mod let you alter the water's size? may be nice to have finer control over that, otherwise its kinda like building with snow if snow didnt come in layers lol
A more flexible alternative mod idea: Create a new invisible block that characters and items can walk/throw/swim/fly through but water can't spread into.
It's incredible how you are like "oh no, we can't replicate the ocean floor accurately, everything is ruined" while we're all here like...Pippen. You are build the E A R T H. Replicating every populated area is already a challenge I never thought even imaginable, how far do you actually want to go?
An idea to prevent at least the flooding of entire landmasses because of the ocean level's unevenness is to adjust the landmass instead. Oceans become true level while the land blocks are height adjusted inversely to the metonic-cycle averaged sea level map. For rivers there needs to be a mod that roughly simulates volume and velocity as a vector for every block or maybe optimized groups of blocks in larger volumes. Volume is transferred between water blocks and air blocks based on the vectors of surrounding water blocks. Additionally evaporation would need to be a feature in order to remove water from the system while rain adds water back into the system. Also, a new type of block would need implementing: "true water source". It replaces the current water source blocks and is linked to a "true water drain block". All closed systems need to have at least 1 drain block while the amount of source blocks is variable. Drains and sources of one system are automatically linked and programmed to balance each other out over time.
Funny that you should mention that there is no gamerule to disable water spread in Minecraft. Just recently in the snapshots, we see that Mojang is adding doWaterSpread and doLavaSpread gamerules (by default, True and False respectively). Cheers! Good video.
Would be cool if you changed the mid to add two types of water block, running and non running. Only non running would spawn in naturally but a player could place water that can run but won’t make new source blocks
I wonder if there is a way to implement something for the no-water-spread mod to allow player placed blocks to update without allowing it to update other water blocks around it.
If you wanted water to not flow from generation but be able to be used as normal you could probably add a second water block. One thats used with terrain generation that can't flow but otherwise works like water but if you use a bucket and place it back down with be the normal minecraft water. At least to me that seems like the easiest way. Someone smarter than me could probably think k of something better.
Actually there is some mod that prevented infinite water when I played sec tech but it only worked outside of ocean /river biomes. But that’s just because it was supposed to balance the game.
I mean would the build level limit and the void even allow for an accurate replica? Replicating the deepest trench would probably be impossible I'm assuming. Even more so when you have to replicate really high peaks at the same time. There's just not enough build space.
I really wonder how the janky mapping of the ocean floor will turn up on this. All those weird stripes where the ocean floor was more accurately mapped compared to the vague, smooth contours from what we can achieve with satellites. It seems like an absolute headache to me.
the pure amount of stock footage this guy uses is insane.

Also, a new type of block would need implementing: "true water source". It replaces the current water source blocks and is linked to a "true water drain block". All closed systems need to have at least 1 drain block while the amount of source blocks is variable. Drains and sources of one system are automatically linked and programmed to balance each other out over time.
you should get that one mod where when you reach the border, once you cross it it teleports you to the opposite choord (e.g. x -> -x, z -> -z)
Dude this guy is going to love it when he finds out about the new snapshot
Funny that you should mention that there is no gamerule to disable water spread in Minecraft.
Just recently in the snapshots, we see that Mojang is adding doWaterSpread and doLavaSpread gamerules (by default, True and False respectively).
Cheers! Good video.
Some modpacks have had no water source spread has a mechanic but I believe they've always had water spread
nice Vsauce reference you got there
Unless I'm high I'm pretty sure you could have also used non-flowing source blocks since those do exist internally
For survival play: add a "flow" enchantment/enchanted book to the mod for buckets
Would be cool if you changed the mid to add two types of water block, running and non running. Only non running would spawn in naturally but a player could place water that can run but won’t make new source blocks
Love these videos. Time for a mic upgrade!
I wonder if there is a way to implement something for the no-water-spread mod to allow player placed blocks to update without allowing it to update other water blocks around it.
If you wanted water to not flow from generation but be able to be used as normal you could probably add a second water block. One thats used with terrain generation that can't flow but otherwise works like water but if you use a bucket and place it back down with be the normal minecraft water. At least to me that seems like the easiest way. Someone smarter than me could probably think k of something better.
Next up is to add the various levels of water from water spread so you could get even more granular in your water based designs
I sure do love stock footage of water.
4:36 Love the VSauce moment
Actually there is some mod that prevented infinite water when I played sec tech but it only worked outside of ocean /river biomes. But that’s just because it was supposed to balance the game.
How did this go from minecraft water physics to an entire Science Class Session?
Structure Void Block and Barriers: " *am i the middle child now?* "
btw a french building server have this mod for like 4 years now ? it think it just a addon or a server setting (even tho you need to dig it up)
Perhaps with the use of a mod you could implement two water blocks, one that spreads and one that doesn’t?
Did u know most of the animals near at the depths of the ocean are a lot of them are mostly blind and use there senses to hunt?
I mean would the build level limit and the void even allow for an accurate replica? Replicating the deepest trench would probably be impossible I'm assuming. Even more so when you have to replicate really high peaks at the same time. There's just not enough build space.
i did not expect a science class
I really wonder how the janky mapping of the ocean floor will turn up on this. All those weird stripes where the ocean floor was more accurately mapped compared to the vague, smooth contours from what we can achieve with satellites. It seems like an absolute headache to me.
