How is it possible that Minecraft save files are so small?
I want to make a game almost like Minecraft using Three.js, but something that stumps me is how you have over 100,000 blocks in a world and the save files are not that big in size. How does Mojang make Minecraft world save files? (Any version of Minecraft works for me)
For instance, there is this unicorn world my little sister downloaded a long, long time ago for Bedrock edition, and it's just a pink world with tons of ice cream statues, rainbows, castles, Unicorns, and other stuff like that. It goes on for pretty much 2000 blocks in every direction (not including the Y axis) and that world is only 6 MB. How is this possible?
