I should have set this up years ago. But it's no tale of woe.
Whether the temperature is high or low, regardless of cold winds blow,
away we go like Edgar Allan Poe, on now with the show. BTW rhymes are welcome.
I did a bit of math and I found that Minetest has a world size roughly about one-fifth of the size of Earth, assuming 1 block = 1 cubic meter. I just wanted to post this because I thought it was pretty cool.
If I got my math right, the surface area of a flat MT world would be about 3600 km^2, while Earth's surface area is about 509,000,000 km^2. This means that an MT world has about 0.0007% of the surface area of the Earth, or that you would need about 142,000 MT worlds to equal Earth.
According to www.minetest.net, there are 62,000 ^ 3 blocks in a world. That's 238,328,000,000,000 blocks, or 238,328,000,000,000 cubic meters, which is roughly one-fifth of the Earth's volume, which is 1,080,000,000,000,000 cubic meters. At least that's what I got.
