This is a new thing I'm starting for the MC 360 edition (just to spark peoples interest of some very unreasonable knowledge of this game) of just how many possible seeds there are.
Many people would say an infinite amount, because every character in the seed slot changes it drastically, but because there is a limited amount of blocks, limited amount of space (PC is not infinite), and a limited amount of biomes, there IS a limit. Just as there is a limit to the shortest amount of time (The planck time, just look at wikipedia or any other source on the internet), or there is a limit to the longest amount of time (10^10^10^10^10^2.8 YEARS, after this point, time will literally repeat itself, the universe will start over, meaning exactly that many years away from now, I will be typing this, again...) Well, what is it?
Short Answer; 5.2626167386738706033443602432 x 10^66 seeds.
OR 5.2626167e+66 OR 1e+66 Long answer; Seeds can only have 32 characters or less not including ANY negative digits, as they will be the exact same seed as a positive seed, now if you do the factorial of 32, and do 10^31, multiply that by two. That turns into 5.2626167386738706033443602432 x 10^66,
How big is 1e+66?Well, if anyone wants to do that much to that much math just to figure out how many digits are in that, please do so and I will post that. I didn't feel like doing that much math...
Note; I will be updating how this all looks, this is just a test to see how people react to it, if it goes well, I will make it look neater and do the same with future fun facts, also add more grammar and neatness to it. (:
Religion, has actually convinced people, that there's an invisible man, living in the sky, who watches everything you do every minute of the day, and the invisible man has a special list. Of 10 things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do ANY of these ten things he has a special place, full of fire, and smoke, and burning, and torture, and will send you there to suffer and choke and scream for all of eternity... But he still loves you.

I would like a link to the peer reviewed, published, credible source for this.

Okay(:
It's called Graham's number
You have to check this links in the description to actually validate it. But it is a very reliable source (Numberphile that is)
Please don't bring religion into this (just checking, as religion is completely invalid in all terms of science, I wasn't sure if you were only not believing it because of a religion or not)
Edit;
Would you believe me if I told you 3 was in 99.99% of all numbers that exist? It's actually pretty freaky to think all numbers between 0-9 are in every number that is a whole 99.99 repeating percent of the time....

Lol no religion deffinatly has nothing to do with any part of my life, ima take a look becuase it seems real interesting. I'll take a look at the source too.

Alright, I just can't stand it when people use religion in an argument that is about science and math and all things like that
Like the Theory of Evolution, this must be the eyes of everyone who is a strong catholic on their first day of learning evolution
WARNING; FOR ALL VIEWERS UNDER 14, It is recommended you NOT watch this video, as it contains very explicit language and may be offensive to some.
I only said that because I can be given an infraction point, I probably will anyways, lol

How do I save a signature? Never mind, I found out how.
Your erroneous conflation of Graham's number and Poincare' reccurence limit is pretty damn amusing. But hey what's a few billion orders of magnitude among friends, amirite?
<snort>
Edit: an additional thought based off the Poincare' reference - Since we're working in Poincare's framework, define a "sufficiently similiar" state as it relates to the layout of MCXBLA's @[email protected] maps and determine how much the total number of possible seeds is reduced....

Size of the world will not affect the seed.

True - but the size of the world would impact the defintion of "sufficiently similiar."
For example - if two seeds create the same general distribution and number of biomes in a world, but whose boundaries differ in placement by a few dozen blocks (vector averaged), would those worlds meet the criteria of sufficiently similiar in the context of a limited ~800 X ~800 space.
