Basically, one 114 by 56 layer which has a height of one block has 6384 blocks/bricks/squares to be taken out. Currently, I'm doing an average of about 1/4 of a layer a day. I don't expect to be done with taking out the entire volume for another few months if I continue at my pace. I am slowing down to work on other, smaller projects because this is very big for just one person.

Please note that there are huge cave systems which you can't entirely see yet which will make my job a lot easier because there will be less blocks to clear out. I almost feel silly for taking on a task which could take minutes if I just downloaded the proper mod.

I believe by doing this completely legit will earn you major kudos in the Minecraft community. I'm sure others have done similar things, but it's still downright awesome.
