So according to the wiki, Notch at some point stated that the sun in Minecraft actually rises in the North. This is impossible because every planet in the entire universe rotates on an axis where one side is the North Pole and the other side is the South Pole. In order for his stupid ass statement, which he was probably trying to be witty or some **** like that changing up his universe, to work you would have to say they rotate on an East/West pole which doesn't even make any sense. Now some planet do rotate on there side, but the sun would still be rising in the east and setting in the west unless the rotation was going reverse. And other planets where the sun is directly over the North Pole are actually pointing at the Sun with their North Pole. So unless the Sun was going to remain in one point in Minecraft or move slightly but never leave view, then Notch is the stupidest mother ****er I have ever had this displeasure to hear about.

ohh tankz

Is there any way to start that seed. If you put in 0 it generates a random seed. And I don't know about the conversions enough to get 0 out of letters or numbers over the long variable limt. If anyone could let me know of something that would generate seed 0 it would be appreciated. To check if you truly got seed 0 the easiest way is to go to here.

Edit: So here is the seed that generates it.

It's not as epic as I was hoping. If you want to explore it for yourself though feel free.
Actually it is pretty interesting if you explore a bit, but there are more interesting ones like gargamel or those really long number ones. I am not gonna be dumb enough like some of the people on here to claim they have found "OMG TEH EPIC HAXOR BEST EVA SEED".

Okay, this is just sad.

I don't really care about cardinal directions in Minecraft, but the way people have been attacking the thread creator, and saying how the Minecraft world might just have a "horizontal axis" is so terribly depressing.

There is no "up" and "down" in the universe. Not all planets share a similar vertical tilted axis, but that doesn't change a thing. No matter the direction of a planet's Axis, the North will ALWAYS be (roughly) located toward one of the two ends of this said axis. And thus, the planet's sun will ALWAYS rise from east to west. (or the other way around, if the planet rotates the other way... if such a thing is possible...) because what we know as a "day" comes from the way earth rotates around its axis, not from the way it revolves around the sun.

The notion of day and night might be quite askew (including months-long nights and days at some points) on a planet with a horizontal axis (relative to its orbit), but the sun would definitely not go from North and South still.

The level of astronomy fail in this thread is terrible and makes me weep.
(Again, this isn't me discussing Minecraft logic.)
