I have a question: let's say I'm going to travel far north or south to settle. Would I still be able to complete or find main story structures far away from the initial spawn? For example, if I build my base in a warm biome thousands of blocks away from the main spawn, would I need to travel back to the center to progress with my quest?
If that's the case, should i focus on completing the story first, instead of traveling too far to settle with a permanent base? I don't really know how long the main quest is so far.
