Look at this: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Far_Lands
The edge of the Minecraft beta's world generator. They're immediately fascinating to me as alien, world-sized crevices that one could become lost in until they emerge on the other side in a bright flash as they realize that the world generator breaks down even further (I made that up. It looks like the chance of corrupt blocks increases as distance from the normal world proceeds).
On the other hand, they remind me of the human-shaped holes in the Amigara Fault (which will frighten me until I die). None of these caves look like the run laterally! I'd be trapped to go forward until there is no forward (ugh I don't want to think about it or say what happens at the other end, I'm already horrified thinking of it).
Scroll down a little until you spot that cute little cartograph screenshot. Look at the Corner Far Lands! It's like the world in Septerra Core (never finished it. It was too slow for me), or what I immediately thought of, the megastructure in Blame. Imagine exploring a world like that (well-lit and with only a few spawning monsters) where it's just like an overworld map but in certain places one can climb between levels at enormous towers like in Blame, With a different biome on each level and a grander scale than possible in Minecraft, that'd be lovely. That's a world I'd like to explore.
