I've been spawning world after world in search of the perfect ice plains biome, and I'm getting tired.... I don't want JUST an ice plains seed, I want a randomly generated (default) world with all the biome's included, only I want the spawn point to be in an ice plains, with certain specifications in mind....
I've gotten close a few times, but no cigar. Whenever I think I've got it, my hopes die in the realization that there is just one or two ingredients missing.
Anyway, the Ice Plains spawn I'm looking for should have the following specifications:
1. Ice Spikes within 500 blocks of spawn.
2. A Deep Ravine at the edge, or just within, the Ice spikes (as I would like to build my base within the ravine and have some natural packed ice features about the place).
3. A village with a library and blacksmith within 1000 blocks of spawn.
4. One or two igloos somewhere on the spawn Ice Plains.
5. A forest biome of any type within 1000 blocks of spawn.
6. Numerous sheep within 500 blocks of spawn.
7. And last but NOT least, polar bears within a few hundred blocks of spawn.
I know... I don't ask for much.... But seriously, most of what I've written here is fairly common when spawning in an ice plains biome, but the one thing that's hard to get, so far, is the nice ravine at the edge of Ice Spikes. I have gotten it a couple of times actually, but when I have it had other things missing, like igloos or village or polar bears.
In any case, I hope you can help. Thank you for your time.
I found a nice seed today (while playing with the names of food for hours) that satisfies most of your conditions:
Labskaus
With this seed you spawn in a flower forest. Turn around towards the northwest and just a few blocks away you'll see a cave entrance that leads to a ravine that is partly underground. Not much further and you are into an adjacent ice plains/ice mountains biome with a cluster of ice spikes very close to spawn. One of the spikes is of the tall variety and the tip is already visible a short distance from spawn.
There is a desert village with a temple just north of the forest, around 500 blocks away. A smithy and library are there, the smith was a toolsmith however. Animals are aplenty but right around spawn I only saw cows and pigs. Didn't venture far into the ice biome so I can't tell about igloos or polar bears.
BTW if you also like to build at (or above) water there is an interesting formation of arches and overhangs over a lake about 200 blocks north of spawn and slightly to the east (X/Z: 250/20).
edit: There are lots of sheep in the forest hills southeast of the village, X/Z 450/-200 and south of that.
edit2: There is a mountainside igloo at 51/540 and a forest igloo at -813/708. There seems to be only a single polar bear in that huge ice biome, and it is near 469/868.

Well, it does look nice. Mind if I grab the seed of ya and check it out?

No problem, of course.

Just in case you're not clear on this, the seed is: Labskaus
The numeric equivalent is: -1881710566
Another very similar seed is: 1179340544585804558
A couple seeds I highly recommend if you want to spawn with a lot of snow all around are the seeds: 1233280547988429432
&
-1894818248 (this one is huge)

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
