Once we get to the point where we will do seedfinding, Meri will present the Crème de la Crème of them on her channel.
Also, as you probably can tell by the cleaner look, she created the ending of this video.
In Minecraft the world seed is a number that determines how the generated world will look.
Leaving aside technical difficulties, you can say that the same seed will generate the same world.
In this videos we explore the ways you can enter a seed.
In short, there are three methods that vary vastly in the amount of seeds you can access with them:
- Entering a text (4.294.967.296 seeds)
- Entering nothing or zero, so a random seed will get picked (281.474.976.710.656 seeds)
- Entering the seed as a number (18.446.744.073.709.551.615 seeds)
The seed 0 is a bit odd, as it is the only seed that you can not get by entering it as a number.
However, there are various texts that you can enter to get it:
pollinating sandboxes¹
drumwood boulderhead¹
YYHCCTL²
rounibuf²

Use this to get Seed 0 TURN=JC²
Zero, zero, zero, random: pyhaqhv²
This makes this seed 0: zlorrq²

2) Generated myself
You could also just generate a lot of worlds with random seeds and hope that you get 0, but don't fancy your chances :-P
In case you are one of the few who read till here and you are not merely a silent observer (nothing wrong with that, greetings to you! :-)), let me know if there is anything in this video or the world generation you would like to know more about, and I will see if I can build it into future episodes of this series.
If I do live streams I will announce it on Twitter.

This video was recorded with OBS and cut with kdenLive. If there is a third person view in it I just connected with a second instance of Minecraft and recorded from there.
The images were mostly created with Gimp.
The audio was recorded with Audacity.
