Thanks for another great seed aminom.
I am curious as to how you always manage to find such good ones

I love your site

Anything that makes it easier for people to find good seeds is wonderful. We could always use more seed hunters as well! I really miss the guy who did the jaw-dropping seed videos (try hard gaming.) He was the best.
I use Zombe's Modpack for its flight mod (it allows 10x speed, so I can zoom around quickly) and for its teleportation.
I then generate a seed, look for mountains briefly, and then regenerate if I don't see anything cool. I usually seed hunt while watching TV/movies or chatting because it doesn't take that much attention.
If I find something interesting, I look around more. From way too much experience I can sort of tell if there's a chance of something epic in the seed. Like terrain generates like terrain it seems.
Once I find a promising seed, I use the minecraft stronghold finder as it is blazingly fast and shows biomes and coordinates. I then teleport to mountain biomes to check.
I also set my standards for seeds ridiculously high. This is the most important thing, I think.
Here's an example of something I just found:
This is pretty cool, but not worthy by itself. However something like this can signal other cool stuff, so I followed a mountain range and found this formation:
Time to explore this more
