I recently went through my first winter in this game and decided to look for tropical crops.
In my world, I lowered the Polar–Equator distance from the default 100k to 25k.
Even then, I had to travel about 12,000 blocks, which felt like a pretty long trip to me.
That made me wonder what value actually feels “right,” so I created several worlds and compared them.
I figured other people might be wondering the same thing, so I wanted to share what I found.
In all my test worlds, the only setting I changed was the Polar–Equator distance. Everything else was kept the same:
Landcover: 80%
Landcover scale: 100%
World width: 1m blocks (default)
World length: 1m blocks (default)
Personally, if you’re not a fan of long-distance travel, setting the Polar–Equator distance to 10k or 15k might feel much better.
Climate shifts will happen faster, but that’s the trade-off.
Hope this helps!
