What about SMP servers with multiple people spread out to keep as many chunks loaded as possible? I feel like combining both of those, as well as having users set their coordinates on the map, the answer truly could be infinite, as long as people have the patience to continue moving into new chunks. | |

And then we can have that diagonal extend within the larger 9 by 9 square of chunks which has a diagonal length of sqrt(9^2 + 9^2) ≈ 12. Therefore (if that math holds), you should get a maximum of 12 * 22 ≈ 264 blocks of current. | |

| May 13, 2011 at 16:25 | comment | added | chandsie | 81 local chunks are loaded into memory at any one time, and each chunk is 16 blocks long. So, based on that current should be able to travel at most 16 * 9 = 144 blocks. | |
