Does anyone have any theories on what will happen to seeds when the new terrain generator kicks in? Can we expect totally new environments or will some of the old features remain?
All the seeds will change, sadly. That includes popular seeds like glacier and gargamel.
Gargamel is my favorite seed. In preparation for the coming patch I've filled up an entire map page and placed a portal just outside the area I've explored. I'll have Old Gargamel and New Gargamel.
Everything is going to be larger , but i think some old stuff will remain , notch wouldnt change everything that fast.
I don't think it can be helped. Since Notch completely overhauled the terrain generator to use fractals, the way the game interprets seed data may be completely different. I wouldn't be surprised to find chunk errors at the boarder of New Gargamel.
the seeds will all be gone. jeb has said so and with the new worlds i saw on the live stream from pax they wont be similar. they couldnt be.. go here http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/573419-the-minecraft-seed-vault/ this is to save the 1.7 seeds like gargamel and glacier. its atleast worth checking out if you have any seeds you like

I'm disappointed this isn't getting more attention. :sad.gif: I suppose once 1.8 is out new epic seeds will be found in no time, but it would be nice to have the old seeds for posterity.

exactly. the 1.8 worlds look sweet but i dont wanna completely lose my favorite seeds so im adding them. i suggest you do the same and anyone who didnt like the idea well then they dont get their old favorite seeds. we will have the incredibly popular ones and then some peoples personal favorites and then other people will have to live without there seeds
The generation is based on the seed , if there is new stuff , it will be included in the seed.
But , minecraft is going to change a lot after 1.8
