Cube Minecraft Planet

From the searching that I have done, I have not been able to find any posts specifically talking about a cube Minecraft world, but I could be wrong. 

As a reference, this is close to what I am imagining:

While this idea may not be considered for near future updates due to its technical demands, I think it should be considered something to aim for. This idea would open up a world of opportunities for the updates that followed, such as a multi-planet solar system for space exploration, but I might be getting ahead of myself there lol. It could also be set up to when a player sets up the world, they can choose a radius that they want the world to be, such that a 5000 radius would be a 10kx10kx10k cube world. While I am not an expert with how the game functions to its core, I am assuming problems such as chunk rendering would arise. Currently, the chunks are rendered as a 16x16 square from y=0 to y=256 (I think), and given that there would now be a largely expanded y-axis, it would have to be separated similarly to the x and z-axis. This idea definitely needs further evaluation from someone with a better understanding of the game-play mechanics than I do, since I can't fully understand how it would effect the game on a technical level. With that in mind, I think this idea would open up a door to almost unlimited creativity, adding to the already immensely creative game. The idea may not be feasible at the moment, but it would definitely create a substantial amount of opportunities for future imagination.

    I agree with you on this idea, and I think it is glorious. Cause the minecraft world is 60 million blocks in x and z coordinates, so each side would be 24494897 blocks long. But I dont think the world could be 100% a cube, because then it would look weird on the transition between one egde to the other.

    Another neat idea added on to this, could be to replace the current world border with an atmosphere. Seperating a potential space dimension from the overworld. I think a logical height level for the atmosphere would be at 30 million blocks away from the core (0,0,0). Since 30 million is where the border stands in the x and z coordinates as of the day I am writing this.
