Welcome to the Spawn Shunks, episode number 152 from Monday, August 2nd, 2021.

My name is Joel Duggan and joining me as always is my friend Johnny.

Or as some of you may know him, the RTX Nightlight block himself, Pixel Rift, so it's-

Hello, yeah, I've been playing around with Amethyst Blocks in RTX, it's been a lot of fun.

We've also had a lot of fun in the render distance.

This is the first show of the month, so thank you so much to all of the folks who support us on Patreon.

If you are a patron supporter of the Spawn Shunks, you can listen to the render distance,

the extended version of the podcast, which you can get at patreon.com slash the Spawn Shunks.

You'll be able to hear more about what our guest has been up to lately.

Because today we are joined by Henrik Nieberg.

Henrik is a game designer, developer and coach at Mojang Studios and co-founder of GoClimate.com.

But most recently, he's been working on a terrain generation for the caves and cliffs update.

And you can find him posting screenshots, videos and his thoughts from the development process

on Twitter at Henrik Nieberg.

Henrik, welcome to the show.

Thank you, it's great to be here.

Yeah, it's great to have you here and we've had a delightful discussion pre-show,

but naturally we're going to be picking your brains about everything that's been going on.

Terrain-wise, both in the recent experimental snapshots and even before that,

because of course, terrain generation has been part of this update for a little while.

Normally, when we start off the show, we like to let our guests let us know what they've been doing in Minecraft lately.

And so obviously we know some of what you've been working on more publicly.
