Hello folks!  I've registered for the forums just to post this gorgeous map to you.  Apologies if it's already been found, but I haven't seen it if it has!

Seed: Wolf

A picture is worth a thousand words, so I've uploaded an entire album full for your viewing pleasure here.

This Map's Features:

* Tons and tons of gorgeous overhangs and archways (this seems more the rule than the exception with this seed)
* Lots of mountains and waterfalls
* A huge wide, flat snowy tundra
* Snowy pine forests
* Lots of natural, surface-exposed caves
* Tons of resources--many trees, plenty of surface-exposed coal and iron, clay, pumpkins, reeds etc

Also Found:

* At least one near-surface dungeon (near -204, -672 I've heard dungeon sounds--haven't found it yet)
* Rolling meadows with ponds
* A large gravel pit alongside a large sand pit

Surface Lava Pool (find credit to bionicsniper):

X:-66
Y: 70
Z: 529

Once again:

Seed: Wolf
Coordinates to get you started: -487x, -73z  *or* -650x, -41z

Here's hoping I'm not doing it wrong   
Enjoy!

(Edit: edited coords, thought they worked like real coords )

This seed is absolutely magnificent, really. Thanks for sharing, now i have an urge to build.
Edit: i am gonna build a series of lookout towers on the overhangs and link them through bridges, then i will create pools using the waterfalls to create an artificial lake, then i will create a castle in the middle of the artificial lake, using the remaining water as a protection, and link the castle to the lookout towers on the overhangs. It's gonna be insane!

This is...  simply...

wow

woah

Yep, definate main save now.

[CrazyCat]

Not getting this. Did you name the world Wolf and the seed Wolf?

[TheSheWolf]

Glad you guys enjoy it   I know I am.

And I didn't know the world name mattered; the seed is "Wolf," and I think I named the world "Wolf Map" or some such.

[arentol]

You need to give us the X and Z Coordinates. Y is your HEIGHT, which is entirely useless to us.

[TheSheWolf]

I have a few screenshots in that album with coords of specific places   (I thought the coords worked cartesian style--in reality I think Z is altitude? OH well!)

[arentol]

Thanks for the update on the coordinates. That helps a lot.

Contrary to rumors, the World Name has no effect on anything the map generator does. It's just a handy label to help you remember which world is which, in your big list of saved game files.

Amazing ! I found lava next to the 2 water falls seen in the pic.. It's on the right side.

[TheSheWolf]

Awesome.  I found some too--I'm not sure if it's the same as what you found; it's semi-underground but fairly visible from the surface, sort of a large open cave.

I've heard dungeons in QUITE a few places, too, from the surface--and found several medium-sized cavern systems with various waterfalls and whatnot.  However, as I'm god-awful at following the Minecraft dungeon noises (I'd *swear* they come from exactly the wrong direction lol), I haven't been able to pinpoint any spawners.

[circlepuddle]

to find the dungeon use the F3 key to see the mob's number like for example:

                              1054
                                

[TheSheWolf]

I did that; however, with the distance from which you can hear a dungeon and the sheer number of mobs living in the caves surrounding it, it becomes nigh-on impossible to pick it out

Thanks anyway, though ^^

What the hell? Have you ever taken a geometry class before? Height is always the Z axis.

[MasterOatmeal]

My God.
That tundra alone.

No it isn't. Those designations are 100% arbitrary.

For instance, in this game Y is "height".

[Aphrodite]

Found surface exposed lava! Coords coming later.

[TheSheWolf]

Yah, in real life Z is height (Cartesian coordinates I think they're called)--for orienteering or diagrams or what have you.  For some reason, in Minecraft, Z is direction, which is part of what threw me off entirely when originally posting them

I look forward to seeing the coords for the lava lake/pool.  If anyone finds anything of interest in this world, post coords if you can, or even pics--I'm still exploring and looking forward to see what else people find!  

[Mauchais]

This place is amazing...

However, because of my constant spawn point in an icy tundra five minutes away from trees, I can't use it effectively.
Maybe if beds become spawn points, I'll use it.

[CrazyCat]

Here is my spawn point pics. Coords are on the pics.
