🌀 Grid World: The 89.67% Void Challenge

What happens when almost the entire world disappears?

Welcome to Grid World, a bold and brutal terrain-modification challenge where only 10.33% of blocks survive world generation. This mod replaces nearly all natural terrain with air—leaving behind a sparse, lattice-like grid of blocks at 5-block intervals.

You’ll spawn into a world that’s eerily empty. The terrain is fractured. Biomes still exist, structures still generate, and mobs still spawn—but the land itself is mostly gone. What’s left is a minimal framework of blocks… and your creativity.

🌍 Features

• 🌫️ 89.67% of blocks replaced with air: It's a 3D grid!

• 🏰 Structures are untouched: Villages, temples, mineshafts, and other generated structures still appear as normal.

• 🧱 Sparse but consistent: The remaining blocks form a 3D grid you can use to navigate and build from.

• 🌱 Survival-focused: Trees, ores, and basic terrain features are drastically reduced—every resource is a rare find.

• 🧭 Compatible with most terrain mods: Should work with mods that don't completely override vanilla chunk generation.

✨ Inspiration

Minimal World is inspired by:

• Ray's Grid: a minimalist terrain concept with challenge-driven gameplay.

• SethBling’s SkyGrid: the original block-grid survival idea that redefined skyblock.

• This mod takes those inspirations and asks: "What if the entire terrain obeyed the grid—and almost nothing else remained?"

🔧 Use Cases

• 💀 Hardcore survival challenges

• 🧠 Puzzle-like skyblock adventures

• 🛠️ Custom maps and modpacks

• 🌌 Minimalist creative worlds
