Mandelbrot
Mandelbrot
Get yourself a Wooly Mandelbrot set!
Can't believe I got features requests for this!! But as requested flat images are available (and are default) - so you can make even bigger plots. Will work on other fractals to plot. Seams some of you want fancy flooring and mosaics :)
Either - look at the center block and use...
/Mandelbrot <width> <length>
...to create a Mandelbrot set centred on the block your looking at.
Or, look at the bottom left corner block of where you want your Mandlebrot set to be crated. then just use...
/Mandelbrot <width> <height> vertical
...to create a vertical Mandelbrot set.
Important
I make no checks on the size of the width and length/height - use values too large and IT WILL crash your Bukkit!
Definition of 'too large' depends on the hardware etc.. But anything over 100 is getting dangerous....

Short answer: Mathamatical equation that produces an image like the above.
Long answer: http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandelbrot_set
Basically its a very pretty pattern - lol.
Part of the attraction is that you can zoom in on the edge of the fractal for infinite detail. Something obviously lacking when your plotting with a 1m resolution :)

Heh - good question. Why not?
TBH this was mostly an experiment in block manipulation and seeing with what kind of speed Bukkit could handle fairly complex algorithms. And once made - why not put it out there? If it serves no other purpose than giving someone else to a snippet to build something better then why not? :)
