Minecraft Indev version had a feature called "isometric screenshots" which took an isometric screenshot of your world. Because the world wasn't infinite at that time, it took the screenshots easily. It still can be done in modern minecraft hovewer, with some plugins.

The "Better than Adventure" mod for beta 1.7.3 includes this with additional features as a photo mode. Super neat.

It was a great feature that will definitely be missed. I wish it was added to minecraft today but considering how hard setting up those mods and plugins mentioned in the original posts is, I can understand why they chose not to.
I still do think there are some great ideas from earlier versions that needs to be on mc today. I am going to post them at periodically to this community and other communities like old school minecraft and bachasig.

I know but notch himself called them "infinite" which is why I worded it like that. And they are practically infinite so does it matter enough to comment about it?

Its not a physical world, so how would it be physically impossible?

You can just use some kind of programattic generation to make an infinite world.

Because this is how normal people refer to the current world generation. It's not infinite, but it's near enough from our perspective that it may as well be.

Literally nothing in computers is infinite, there are a finite number of bita

Technically, yes. However, for all intents and purposes, Minecraft worlds are functionally infinite.

The figure I've heard quoted is 8 x the surface area of the actual Earth.
And my frames drop to single digits when I try to render 10 chunk distances. 😵💫
