Hello and welcome to omgcraft this is the show that will teach you how to become a minecraft expert i’m your host chad johnson let’s talk a little bit about world generation in minecraft all of those hills trees and everything else in the world were not put there by a person There’s just too much of the world for one person to ever make minecraft uses an algorithm to generate the world for you another feature of that algorithm of the game is that when you’re generating a world it won’t actually generate that part of the world until you visit it visited it At least once the minecraft world if you’re on a pc can reach as far as you want to go so if minecraft has the whole world saved just at the beginning even if you haven’t been to an area your saves would be huge now because of this you can also because Of that algorithm you can also teleport within the game either with nether portals or using in-game commands and because the algorithm never changes uh the world can generate the same in a predictable manner but if the algorithm is the same for every person that is playing the game wouldn’t Your minecraft world look the same from everyone else’s world to world they’d never be any different well there’s a little bit of randomness built in and it is called your world seed if you want to get really technical about it this feature is called entropy so Let’s check out where you would add this in game so you start by creating a new world hitting the create new world button you can name this whatever we’ll just keep it simple as new world now there’s a new there’s a more worlds options button Down here if you click that here is a nice place for you to enter in whatever seed you want it will pick a random seed usually a lot of numbers but you could also add in words so let me add it in my username omg chad uh you can also There’s some things like your world type if you choose super flat of course this is going to screw up the seeds so if you plan on sharing them if you plan on sharing them later this will cause problems if say that the world generation is looking For large biomes so let’s go ahead and set that to default done and create this world now what’s cool is i’ve tested out my username before and so i can expect what the world is going to look like and yes there is this cool jungle temple Over here whenever i type in my name and uh it has this really neat um sort of biome feature where there is desert right here and then snowy biome over here so there’s a desert right next to a snowy place so we got hot and cold Right on the edge of uh of the spawn which is neat and now it is good to note that any time that the world generation changes like when minecraft adds extra biomes or um you know adds an ore to a land whoa did you hear that it sounds like a Mob got into this jungle temple and blew it up i can’t actually enter that way because it’s it’s unpassable but let’s get in here so anytime that the world generation changes changing your seed will affect it so if someone is trying to give you a seed Number based off of an older version of minecraft you need to keep that in mind let’s go ahead and look at this yeah yeah oh that that tnt explosion was some something spawned in there and then blew up all of the chests for me to get so Anyway keep in mind that if you are sharing seeds through older versions especially if there has been a world generation change you will not get the same world that was shared in the seed now i want to show you some of my favorite seeds and then some resources To find seeds if you want to get your own but before we do let’s talk about man packs there’s a problem as a guy there are always basic stuff that you always forget to buy until it is too late i don’t want to shop for the basic

of a starter in checking out awesome seeds now what i’ve done is if You check out my selected world list i have a whole bunch this new one i’m gonna go ahead and delete it because that’s what we just did this episode but i have this one which is a word and then i have two numbered ones if you really Want these to copy and paste them into your game you can check out our show notes so let’s jump into this one and and here i’ve actually walked through this world a little bit i was spawned over in that that sand area over here but if you Check out what’s really close to spawn there is this really neat village and then the piece of brazil piece piece doors dolls is over here in the ocean there is this floating structure and you might think what what the heck what the heck is that i’ve never seen that in game before it’s Funny because i’ve been in this world so long the sun’s going down but if we go over you can sort of see through the windows this may be completely uh this is a completely you know looks like a completely new structure in game but if we go around to the front you may Be able to tell what it is this is actually the end portal right next to spawn for some reason the in portal has spawned right here so that you can just get straight into it and it’s floating in the ocean let me get in here you can see there is the Uh the silverfish spawner and the end portal frame and even for some reason there’s this this uh obsidian sort of thing in here oh well well now i’m trapped well now there’s really only one reason way to get out of here and i’m gonna let’s even quit before we die Okay so that is one really cool seat next let me show off this one once again this is kind of a number string this one was just if you wanted a really cool starting point this is a really neat island this is a small island and has Everything you need it has the village over there it has a cool little forest and then this nice little plains area and it’s just it’s just a really quaint little area if you don’t want a ton to deal with in your world you don’t want you don’t want to worry about you know Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming if you’re on a huge continent you want to explore it all this is just a nice little island uh to explore and check out and it’s just really nicely man and nicely sized to be manageable okay so that’s that seed Now let’s finish it up with this last one and this is a of course a swamp biome and right off the bat you have this witch hut with a witch in it which i really liked and uh we can go ahead and try to push the witch and There’s this cool ravine so the witch hut is like going going crazy down into this ravine hey witchy witchy hey witchy that’s right what what you are such a jerk okay well i’m just gonna let you live for another day i totally expected to throw you down in there um but uh i Guess you get to live for another day okay so a few resources if you would like to find more seeds is reddit reddit.com r minecraft seeds it’s constantly being updated there’s it’s always been upvoted and older seeds are being pushed off the top of the list also it is good to note that This is just for the base world generation if you get into a world and build lots and lots of structures those structures won’t transfer when you transfer your seed um also i like seeds because if you want to transfer that base world it’s just a text string there Is no number or there’s no there’s no downloading it’s just entering in some numbers and so there’s no chance of sharing viruses if you want to get a seed
