I found some other biomes with the 'mute' seed. Taiga x-1440 z-2000. Jungle, x-3856 z-1856. I went boating for other saplings, cocoa and whatnot. Also swam back to spawn with 3 sheep following me. That sucked. Took for freaking ever!
I decided to just go ahead and get the prerelease and start playing on 1.3. I immediately want to start a whole new world. This is going to be my main world for a long time most likely. I want large biomes. I've been told by a few friends that the large biome generation is more exciting. Almost as if they are finally listening to us about the generation. Well, after about an hour of exploring I've been very satisfied. Caves are even different. I haven't said this in a long time about a Minecraft update but... this is great stuff. Fix the lighting errors and it's golden.

My seed for the world I started is unknown sadly. I can't find it or it's hidden until release?
There isn't anything super special that I see yet. Just nice generation.
Here are some screenshots.
Oh yeah, food is really really easy to get now. Is there a reason to make a farm with 4 stacks of pig meat living around you?
Update*
Found a desert biome. I came across a temple pretty fast. After that a new desert village. Then... another temple. Then another town right after that. Lol?
Update again*
Found another desert temple right after the second village again. Is this normal? Lol
Right after that there is a desert well as well.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
before the cavemen invented the wheel, they invented minecraft
Seed (Case-sensitive): Sanka you dead? (or -418429296 according to /seed)
Spawn at the edge between jungle and desert (should be coord. x -148, y 71, z 92), Pyramid/Desert Temple and a desert village within eyesight..
I found one jungle temple at coords. x -312, y 80, z -394, might be more. At least one more Desert Temples and village in addition to the ones at spawn. (didn't think to write down the coords) I found them due south of spawn, nearly at the edge of the desert in that direction.
Extrem Hills is found, I want to say east, of the jungle and temple (or east-southeast) Swamp to the west and forest to the soutwest.
No pics though, sorry.
And remember to pick Large Biomes. (It should go without saying, considdering the topic, but best remind the reader anyhow )

Just saying that I'm using this for my new peaceful semi-cheaty map for this version, very nice. Before you call me a wimp, I play hardcore regularly as well -_-. I'll post here when I find a good seed!
You spawn in a forest right next to a plains biome. To the west (in the plains biome) , there's a hole in the ground with some starter coal/iron right by a village with a smith chest which sucked
There's also a lake of lava that lights some of the grass between the forest and village.
Thanks to the x-ray glitch I saw an abandoned mineshaft at the edge of the forest closest to the lake of lava.
I'll start off with 'mute'.
It's an amazing seed.
What are some cool seeds you have found for large biomes?

It spawns you directly ontop of a stonghold and 2 dungeons. Its a huge swamp. I like it.
Why is this?
On topic- nice finds

Did I help? Click that green button!

Type /seed. Well, Large Biome seed '4204ever' (don't ask) has Plains, Taiga and Extreme Hills all fairly close.
Both great seeds. Keep'em coming!

If I were you, I'd do exactly the same thing as you would, because I'd be you. Duh.

EDIT: "gettingreallyclose" is just basic extreme hills biome if you're looking for it.
