Theta
General Info
Theta is a creative world made for greens to give them more mapmaking options (and so materials did not take months to gather with Resource Parkour).
Specifics about Theta World
Theta is a creative world which can be warped to with "/warp theta" for green or higher ranks. The world size is 12k on all sides, but players cannot currently build past 7000 blocks from Theta Spawn. Theta is generated with a normal Minecraft seed beginning from Java 1.12.2. Despite this, blocks and features introduced in later updates can still be used in Theta.
Chunks that are loaded for the first time by later Minecraft versions will use the world generation for the later version. One of the most obvious impacts of this is the generation of Java 1.18 caves, as this was the update that added world generation below Y level zero.
Theta's Impact
Maps that were in Zero stayed in Zero unless the map creator wanted to make changes to them. Players can still request for a map transferred from Zero to Theta. Because players can build maps in creative in Theta, Board's required aesthetic quality for a map to be acceptable into FFA rose.
The creation and continued use of Theta also gave rise to giving mapmakers more permissions and features in the long term. One of the biggest examples is the use of debug sticks, which previously were not an option for mapmaking. One major feature that has been requested is Green WorldEdit, a feature which has inched closer to reality with a change in 2025 allowing Moderators to use WorldEdit.
Trivia
- The first map to be published in Theta was Retrograde by TheHexer.
- In August 2025, Epsilon was added as a void world with the same creative mapmaking as Theta.
