TheMisterEpic – Beating Minecraft Without Leaving SPAWN – A World FIRST Minecraft Seed Discovery!

What if i told you that you could beat minecraft without having to leave your spawn that’s right what if everything you could need to go to the end and kill the dragon is right there waiting for you in one perfect chunk something which has never been done before and something which was

Previously thought to be impossible two months worth of searching for the ideal seed where everything lines up and is positioned correctly a seed where directly below your feet lays a stronghold and portal room when you’re restricted to just one chunk theoretically how fast could you even beat or speedrun the game

So what’s going on here today i’m going to tell you about some special minecraft seeds that took two months to find that have generated in such a way where you can get all the required resources and get to the end without having to even leave the chunk you spawn in

I’m going to tell you about how it was found the many attempts it took as well as the hardships and issues to face by the players who found it today’s video is really interesting and it’s probably a world first for minecraft so let’s get right into it about two weeks ago i was

Lucky enough to be contacted by matt a member of the minecraft at home team which i’m sure you’ve heard of before links to their discord and website will be in the description anyways matt told me that the team had found a minecraft seed where you could beat the

Game without leaving the chunk you spawned in well of course up until you entered the end and having a look around at the seed i was intrigued but before we get into the actual seed and how it was found i need to explain a few things about minecraft terrain generation specifically stronghold generation

First however what even is a chunk well a chunk is a 16 block by 16 block segment of a minecraft world which extends all the way from bedrock to the build limit chunks are used by the world generator to divide maps into manageable pieces you can see where a chunk begins and

Ends in newer versions of the game by holding f3 and then clicking g anyways let’s go back to strongholds down what’s most unique about strongholds than any other minecraft structure which generates in the game is the fact that in an entire minecraft world only a maximum of 128 strongholds

Can generate and they are all located within roughly 22 to 24 000 blocks from the origin or zero zero and not only that but they generate in a unique pattern which this visual displays basically all the green circles or rings you see are potential locations a stronghold can generate and each ring is

A certain distance from the origin or spawn and can only generate a certain number of strongholds in its area for example the closest ring which is the closest distance a stronghold can generate from zero zero is 1280 to 2816 blocks away from zero zero and only a maximum of three strongholds

Can generate within this area or ring and as you can see more strongholds can generate the further out you get with 36 generating in the second to last ring 19712 to 21 248 blocks away when a player creates a new minecraft world three positions are chosen for strongholds to generate at which are

Closest to spawn and these three positions are highly dependent on biomes which without getting too technical is one of the slowest properties of a minecraft world that can be searched for in seed searching this means that the team had quite a bit of a challenge on their hands

Alright so now you understand stronghold generation i hope you can begin to understand why beating minecraft without leaving the chunk you spawn in was previously considered so difficult simply because when you spawn in a minecraft world you tend to stay relatively close to zero zero and since strongholds don’t start

Generating until roughly 1280 blocks away from zero zero it’s very rare or was actually unknown whether it was a possibility to spawn in the same chunk as one so in order for the team to find the seed they first needed to confirm that it was even possible to spawn right

Above an end portal frame and they did this by modifying the minecraft server jar so it continuously generate welds until the spawn chunk which is 16 by 16 blocks ended up having the portal frame in it as matt told me in his own words not mine this method of modifying the jar is

Insanely cursed because by doing this you have to simulate everything in the game you can’t turn off certain minecraft features such as biomass structure generation making it a very slow method of searching only finding about 300 seeds a second per cpu core so if they had a 12 core

Cpu like mine it meant their computer was able to check roughly 3 600 seeds a second which may sound like a lot but when there’s roughly 18 quintillion minecraft seeds it’s really not that much at all fortunately they were able to find a few seeds where the stronghold was extremely

Close to spawn such as the seed 449 which spawns you right next to an exposed portal room floating in the ocean where no other parts of the stronghold generated in the team’s next attempt their aim was to get rid of the issue they were having with the slow search speed caused by

Using the modded jar so matt and boy sanik created an app which would simulate stronghold layouts and this is relatively technical so i won’t get too deep into it but they ported the entirety of minecraft 1.7.10 stronghold generation into it allowing them to search roughly 10

000 seeds a second per cpu core way more than their previous method by the third attempt things had really begun to pick up in pace the team used a library called q biomes that simulated the biomes needed for strongholds and also reworked their stronghold simulation app

Upping the speed to about 200 000 seats per second per cpu core from there they ran the program for about a week going through hundreds of millions of minecraft seeds now by this point the team had already found a few minecraft seeds with strongholds within the same chunk the

Player spawned in but you see in order to beat the game you still needed to get resources specifically eyes of ender to light the portal frame and they couldn’t cheat it by finding a seed with all the eyes filled in as not only is that already exceedingly rare but finding a portal

Like that in the same chunk you spawn in is well who knows how improbable they were also limited to minecraft versions 1.8.9 and prior as in 1.9 stronghold generation changed so they could no longer be in spawn chunks so at this stage the team realized that getting eyes of ender without leaving a

Chunk would be really difficult as they would likely have to go to the nether and hope they would spawn near a fortress they had strategies to get eyes of ender though considering using fishing rods to pull blazers towards them and curing a zombie villager using

A witch and a golden apple to get a villager however these were very unreliable and would take so much time but they were on the right track you see the team realized that if they could get a villager specifically a priest villager as it was known back in minecraft version 1.7.10 they could

Trade straight emeralds for eyes of ender and skip the nether process entirely so when coincidentally one of the seeds found not only had the end portal in the same chunk the player spawned in but also spawned the player in a village this was a major breakthrough breeding villages to get the right

Trades was a very achievable method of getting eyes of ender and spawning in a village could mean it could all be done in one chunk so the team realized that they could search seeds for villagers instead before they search for strongholds as searching for villages is much faster than searching for strongholds

With this information in mind they began their fourth and final attempt where they look for seeds with villages and strongholds within the spawn chunk and after slightly modifying the program’s code they searched for roughly one month 23 days and 18 hours until they decided the project should be finished

From these vigorous searching they found five seats two of which unfortunately had spawns just one block outside of what they needed one of which a village failed to spawn due to terrain generation and two seas which had everything they needed one of which you needed to go to

The nether to complete and the other which you could just complete without even leaving the chunk you spawned in for this video i’m just going to be showcasing the seed where you don’t have to go to the nether but the nether seed is still very cool so without further ado let’s go finally

Take a look now i should mention that you the randomness of spawns sometimes you’ll need to create the world again to spawn in the right chunk but nevertheless i’m going to guide you through how to beat the game without leaving your spawn chunk in minecraft alright so first things first getting

The villagers is kind of annoying after investigating the world in another creative mode save for a bit i realized that one villager always spawned in this little house which is in your chunk so you can trap him easily to use for later next thing i did was get some wood but

The important thing is to get the saplings from a tree which is just within reach you can reach outside of the chunk and get things as long as you don’t actually leave the chunk but if you really didn’t want to do that you could just get the wood from the village

Houses and ration it well i then proceeded to get some wheat from the few blocks of farm i had access to i use that to lure some mobs in from outside chunks which will also be useful later i should also mention that because this seed only works in 1.7.10

A version of the game where you can’t show chunk borders using f3 plus g i downloaded the mod which sews up for me in orange here called chunk boards which i’ll link below anyways after doing some basic resource gathering i crafted some tools and began

Flattening out the one chunk i had as i would need to make the most of its limited space and while doing so i noticed a villager ran into my chunk and after he did a little dance thank you 2013 version of minecraft i was able to trap him as well

Next i did a bit of mining to not only look for coal and iron but also just to get some building blocks now i doubt my method of mining was very efficient by considering the little space i had it worked reasonably well and i found some coal and eventually some iron

Now i wasn’t worried about food because i didn’t want to waste the precious resources available to me so my plan was to just set my spawn by sleeping in a bed and then kill myself if mahanga got too low as it would only be a very minor inconvenience i also moved all my

Passive mobs to a little fenced off area in the corner of the chunk but accidentally killed one of my cows in the process meaning that i wouldn’t be able to breed them up for now next was to start the villager breeder now i decided to build this in the air

Floating so it wouldn’t really get in the way and after some serious trial and error with the villagers as they are really annoying in this version of the game i managed to get them both up into my main little platform in the sky and in a stroke of luck not long after

One of the free villagers decided to offer himself to my villager breeder walking straight out of his house and right into the single hole i had set up and now to start building the breeder of which i use this cool infinite villager design by unairy bit

That was very simple taking only a few minutes to build that being said the villagers decided to once again become uncooperative and it took me far longer than i’d like to admit to get them into the right positions but eventually with a bit of shoving and

Maybe just a tiny bit of villager abuse i managed to get them locked in position and then proceeded to serve the final smaller platform below with the third villager and so far so good not long after getting everything in place the first baby villager arrived and it now became a waiting game

I expanded the farm a bit more and began breeding up sheep and collecting wool while i waited for the villagers to breed now originally i was going to do this all in one playthrough but i seriously underestimated how long it would take to get villagers with the right trades and

Decide to afk overnight instead the next day i woke up and sorted the villagers out and got pretty lucky finding ones with the right trades and so the current goal went like this harvest week for food and to breed the sheep shear the sheep for wool

Trade the wolf for emeralds and use the emeralds to get eyes of ender and arrows and it once again became a waving game as i would afk an hour or so then come back for a few minutes to replant the farm collect wool trade for emeralds and rinse and repeat for hours

And this took quite some time and i did a lot of afk and i mean a serious amount like i think i had minecraft open almost 24 hours a day for four to five days straight and i was barely even actively playing and things got pretty weird i saw sheep

out villages appear and then disappear it was very interesting eventually i managed to get enough emeralds for nine eyes of ender and i picked up some other goods along the way such as arrows cooked chicken and even managed to give my sword i’m breaking too and we were finally ready to go

Well mostly i used a little iron i had found to make some armor got some blocks and headed down to the stronghold i lit the portal and i entered now of course this part can’t be done in one chunk so it’s just a normal dragon fight and how hard could it be

Is what i thought as with the little armor i had and the fact that i had forgot that i’d set the game to hard difficulty to spawn more mobs i could craft a bow earlier it turns out it was a lot more challenging than i thought combined with the fact that the ender

Dragon fight changed the 1.9 so i’d forgotten how the dragon acted in this version of the game it wasn’t much surprise that i ended up dying you see i thought the dragon was going to fling me into the air and i was going to get the

Chance to show off my mlg skills but no the dragon just hits you for half your health and that’s it but after a bit of trial and error i relearned the ender dragon’s basic attack pattern of eventually sweeping down and flying at you head on and

Learnt how to dodge it and get the most value from each swoop so it was only a matter of time before i killed the dragon and even though i almost ran out of arrows the final bow shot was also satisfying and there you go that’s how you beat

Minecraft without leaving the chunk you spawn in well my strategy anyways thinking back on it i realized that there was some massively missed potential with fishing considering the many days i spent afk if i’d been auto fishing in between i probably would have accumulated some other useful loot

There also may be a more efficient emerald gathering process through trading so i didn’t look too deep into it with my research only consisting of a brief look at the wiki so yeah i definitely think there is a much more efficient way to do this and who knows maybe we’ll even see some

Speedrunners attempt it so if you do find a more efficient way be sure to at me on twitter and i’ll take a look and respond for sure i’ll also post some other interesting scenes i got from the minecraft at home team here so be sure to go follow me

Anyways i need to once again credit the team behind the discovery of the seed and also shout out the minecraft at home discord and website who do many other awesome projects i’m sure you all have seen or heard of so be sure to check them out

Links to them will be in the description of the video but yeah i hope you enjoyed today’s video it’s a bit different than what i normally do so if you enjoyed be sure to leave a comment to let me know as well subscribe while you’re down there
