The past year and a half I've worked almost full time with Minecraft world generation. We've radically changed how the world is generated, to enable dramatic new caves, massive mountains ranges and overall more natural-looking terrain.

In this talk we'll geek out on the gory details of this. How does Minecraft procedural world generation actually work, what did we change and why? And what did we learn along the way?

I think procedural world generation is fascinating. Hopefully you will too after this :)
