how would you know if you live in flat world or spherical world?

no science, just you and the world. how would you know if you're in flat world or spherical world?
I know the truth, and it's a shocking truth: the earth is a square, and we are just pawns
And if you run east of the h-file, you fall off the edge
I live in a 8bit world made of cube like grass block and deepslate and an creeper

Look a ships sailing away on the horizon. The ship itself disappears while the mast still is visible. If the eart was flat, both ship and mast would just get smaller and smaller and disappear at the same time.

That's how they realized it in ancient times.

There's also the "Magellan-metod" ... grab a boat and sail around the world. Obviiously couldn't be done on a flat earth.
