just wondering if this is possible ive never had a console that has larger worlds like this ive olny had the xbox 360 it think medium is fine but im just wondering could it support larger worlds

 

i thought it would be a instant no

 

That is accurate. It's a larger world than wiiu/ps3/360, but still smaller than ps4/xbone, all of which are still much smaller than PC

 

Look for it on google.
On PS4 and XB1 your maps are some 5120x5120.
On Switch, some 3072x3072.
On X360, PS3 and Wii U, 864x864.

What do you mean?
Your answer is in there:

Could the switch do larger worlds?
YES: 3072x3072, that is larger than Wii U.

As large as the PS4?
NO: Those are 5120x5120.

 

I think OP means to say can the switch handle a larger world. I would have to guess no based on the fact that the worlds are limited to that size. If the switch could handle a larger world they probably would have given a size similar to ps4/xbone

 

Pretty sure the world size is an artificial limitation put in place as a result of whatever amount of save file space is available. If the max world size was 3,000,000^2 like on PC, then what happens when someone attempts to explore it in its entirety? On the PC, one could purchase as much storage space as is needed, but the Switch has a limited amount of space that needs to be saved for other games.

Ignoring storage space, the Switch could conceivably have worlds as large as on PC, although it's possible their C++ engine has bugs in it that would get in the way that their Java engine does not.

 

That is a lot closer to parity with the PS4/XB1 numbers than I expected (compared to the X360/PS3/WiiU). Not bad at all.
