This Raft Goes Beyond Lightspeed

I don't know why I did this, but I am glad I did because I went so fast that nothing could ever keep up.
Back with Raft after a few months because I thought of this one day and knew I had to try it and see what happens, I'm not upset about the outcome though.

So we know that you can circle back around the ocean and get back to where you were. So what if you build a raft so long that it goes back into itself?

[@dragex6582]

You're not technically circling back around. You're actually despairing the old and respawning it further forward. You will never be able to connect your raft going in one way because the world is generated around your raft, not the other way around.

[@pyromaniac000000]

@@dragex6582 you can. Your theory only holds on a small scale. But you fail to understand, the world does not NEED to have an end. Eventually youll pass by the same exact island twice. It wraps back around to the same key islands and locations, and the game does not have multiple of those islands spawning in over and over, it has one set of islands. So you build the raft near one, eventually you WILL reach that island again. And since theres only one of each island, and only one raft, you will reach the other side of your raft. See, your theory hinges on going from exactly one “end” of the map to the other, but you fail to realize that isnt actually whats happening here. The ends of the map are entirely irrelevant, its the ends of your RAFT that matter.

[@dragex6582]

@@pyromaniac000000 I do believe you to be incorrect on that point. I am confident that the ends of your raft matter not a lick.

The reason your arms glitch out at high speeds is because of floating point precision (or lack there of). This will cause all sorts of cool visual effects, physics bugs, and most importantly, things like the Minecraft farlands. I suspect that raft has its own version of that

[@DrgnZip]

I imagine the raft is considered the center of the world, and everything's position is defined by it's relation to the raft. Get too far away, and you see those errors.

[@hercar20xx5]

Similar thing when falling for a long time in Mario odessy

[@LiliumOrientalis]

@@DrgnZip this is probably what happens, since islands unload if your raft gets too far away while you're on the island, shown on a Let's Game It Out video

[@modmaniamadness713]

oh. so, MC, Portal (2), Mario Odyssey, Raft, and Mario Maker all have the same glitch?

[@racer927]

Once again, the Minecraft Farlands up to Beta 1.7 is *not* floating point imprecision, it's simply an integer overflow. Once you reach the 32-bit integer limit in the distance from spawn, the noise-map the game uses to generate terrain breaks down. However, Minecraft *does* have an example of floating point imprecision in the case of world entities and Bedrock Edition has a particularly nasty one where it's possible for the gaps between blocks to be wide enough due to imprecision that you fall through the entire world and into the void.

[@thederpycow4983]

If I remember correctly the effect your seeing around the 16:30 mark is when you position is such a high number the 3D models start to experience rounding errors messing up the animation.

[@soccpuppet4638]

Basically it's because these things use "floating point numbers" which is the computer's way of representing fractions, and they have a fixed length but the floating point itself moves, thus the name So when the whole number part is huge, the decimals have less and less space, resulting in numbers going up at increasing intervals (0.01 -> 0.02 turns into 1->5->9 for example), and everything inbetween simply getting skipped, so the model starts turning into minecraft because the smaller details are skipped

[@edward9487]

@@soccpuppet4638 What about where models begin to look like they're wobbly jelly, getting more and more wriggly the further they manage to get? What causes that?

[@soccpuppet4638]

@@edward9487 My best guess without knowing the exact code behind the animation is that the hands are going wriggly because of the game taking the current speed and using it as the swimming speed for the hands, resulting in them flickering quickly Similar effect can be seen with extreme speed potion effect and View Blobbing on in minecraft

[@lockkeylive3809]

The weird effect on the hands is a floating point error (position of the model's vertices getting rounded basically) It probably only happens when you fall into the water because the origin is actually on the raft, not on the player or some arbitrary point in the world

This probably would have been a little easier to set up with a giant square raft, cutting holes where the engines need it. If you really wanted to break every known law of physics, you could make a bunch of small rafts with a few engines each. The way the game renders placed parts makes it so that it always treats the raft as connected, even if the parts aren’t actually touching.

Grass is a common term used to describe a group of plants that are characterized by their long, narrow leaves that grow from the base of the plant. Grasses belong to the family Poaceae, which includes over 10,000 species. Grasses are important plants in many ecosystems, serving as food for grazing animals and as a source of shelter and nesting material for birds and other animals. They are also used by humans for a variety of purposes, including food (e.g. wheat, rice, corn), building materials (e.g. thatch), and as ornamental plants. Grasses are typically herbaceous plants, meaning they do not have woody stems. However, some grasses, such as bamboo, can grow tall and woody. Grasses typically reproduce by seed and have long, fibrous root systems that help them to absorb water and nutrients from the soil. Grasses are also important for their role in the carbon cycle. They take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through a process called photosynthesis, which helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Additionally, grasslands are an important carbon sink, storing large amounts of carbon in their soil. Overall, grasses play an important role in many ecosystems and are a vital part of the natural world.
