ok, those of you who know this, when you enter a seed number for the new world generator, what is the highest number you can enter both - & +.
i have tried filling up the box (eg 99999.....until it cant go anymore), but when i do that, when reloading the saved seed displays it as "3"
i guess you could say im asking "what is the highest seed you can enter that will display when reloading the world". so far i have found seeds that go up to 9,999,999,999,999,999,999 and -9,999,999,999,999,999,999. like i have this max seed 4132933293113585189 and this -6960682583056135373
The Minecraft map seed should be stored as an 8-Byte, Long Int value, which can account for 264 (or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616) different unique combinations.
This would be split up (relatively equally) between positive and negative values ranging between:
-(263) to +(263 - 1) = -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807
I haven't tested this, but I think it is unlikely that you have confirmed seed values beyond this range:
i have 2 maps of the seeds. when i reloaded the map, the seed of 4132933293113585189 was displayed as 4132933293113585189. that number is 19 characters long. anyways, thanks for that reply. i may have to note the actual seed before creating it should higher seeds be listed as "3" when they arent 3

Yeah... You can put in just about anything for a seed, but the game will change/convert the original entry into a viable seed within the integer range allowed for Minecraft if you are either outside that range or you use characters (words) and symbols (non-integer values).

if it's too confusing, let me know
