Minecraft Indev version had a feature called "isometric screenshots" which took an isometric screenshot of your world. Because the world wasn't infinite at that time, it took the screenshots easily. It still can be done in modern minecraft hovewer, with some plugins.
No. Literally not. You can theoretically generate a infinite amount of "world" but you will never be able to save it, open it or run it, because running a infinite code, needs infinite RAM, disk space and CPU Power and Energy. Its literally impossible.
Games don't load the entire world onto disk at once. So as long as you save however that world was seeded, the only variables you need to worry about are whatever permenant interactions the users has had with the world.
Uh no. Otherwise you don't have a infinite world. Its not a world, its a mathematical key to generate a world. And when you interact in every chunk, it needs to be saved, in a infinite World that would be hypothetically possible, in a real world it isn't.
(also from what i know a seed is making a very accurate world, at the center, the further you go out from it however, the higher is the probability of it becoming different with each generation)
(btw Minecraft saves every chunk that was ever generated)
Typical client, changing the scope of the project 🤣.
At the end of the day, games programming is full of shortcuts but ive already shown you how its possible to make an infinite world in a video game. Sure you can't load that all into memory at once, or save the state of every single block... But that wouldnt me necessary, as its impossible for a user to interact with an infinite number of blocks.
