I would love to see screen shots of things people have created on the seed I suggested, or other similar seeds. I'm actually going to adjust the original post to include a list of island survival seeds for 1.8
Due to the fractal nature of world creation in 1.8, you'll sometimes start on an island with nothing but water to be seen all around. If you are lucky you'll start off with a single tree, and that means if you are creative you can actually play on the map.
But why search for a nice island to do this challenge on, when I have found a perfect seed? So here it is, go create a new world in 1.8 with the seed -5038799406236156861 and you'll start on your own deserted island today.
The only thing I have done on this map is to go into creative mode and do a quick fly around to find out how isolated this island is from the rest of the world. As you can see in the screenshot provided there is a hint of a beach in the distance, and I fully encourage you to make your way there once you've mastered the island you start on.
Sure you could swim there, or make a boat and float there, but I suggest you make it harder on yourself. Find some creative way to get to the distant beach. Build a bridge perhaps? Underground rail system? Choice is yours.
But just know that however you get to that distant beach, all you've managed to do is reach level 2. Can you reach level 3? What secrets will you find in this world?
More bad news for people that absolutely love this seed. This is bad news that hasn't even arrived yet, but should be obvious to anyone that keeps updated with plans for future patches. We know that he's trying to put in some interesting cave types that people can find, and as soon as you add even one thing like that, it'll change the layout of the entire world (butterfly effect and all). So enjoy the world in the air as it is now, as I wouldn't be surprised if after 1.8 is released that we won't be able to find any of these land marks. (I say 1.8, as I'm fairly sure 1.7 will just be pistons and bug fixes)
I'm so sad, I generated this world again just recently and I went to go look at the pumpkin. But it doesn't appear there anymore. I think it has to do with all the long grass, but it's still sad that the pumpkin isn't there anymore.
So seeds tp u any were in the game so say i did 5267522835866528932 that would tp me some were in the game as my spawn
No no, that seed would create a world distinctly different than a seed with a different number. The point of this thread though is to point out that words don't generate seeds different than numbers, but simply provide a different way of expressing those numbers. Using the seed that you have provided you would have a spawn point of where ever in the world it's going to be, but it's not really teleporting you anywhere in the world, as the world didn't exist until you created it. If you create another world with that exact same seed, you might have a spawn point in a different spot, but it again it hasn't teleported you to a different spot in the world, as this is a whole new world and you'll not find anything that you personally built in the other world. It's a parallel reality if you will.
The thing about seeds is that if you created a seed with the number you gave, and then went to the coordinates 0,0 then built a house, you could then create a second world with the exact same seed, go again to 0,0 and find 0,0 as it was before you built your house. It would look the exact same as things originally had been. You could even build something else here such as a castle. Then if you went back to your first world, you would see your house still here with no sign of the castle. Lastly you could create a third world with a different seed, go to that world's 0,0 and everything about this worlds 0,0 would be completely different.
So again, no seeds have nothing to do with teleporting, as there is no way connection between the worlds made with seeds be they the same or different.
I've not done much SMP, but I've always liked the various City protections that many servers have, so that if you are in a city you have a stake in you are able to build stuff and modify the scenery, but if you are in someone else's city then you are a guest.
Also I like the idea of a certain area around the spawn zone being protected so that way anyone coming to the server can experience the world the same for the first time.
I have tried to run a server before, so have done some research into it previously. It seems one of the more popular server tools is Bukkit. I personally was never able to get it to work the way I wanted, but then again I was only toying around with it.
i actually have a youtube channel with a survival series dedicated to this world ive been suing this seed for about 4 months and ive heard about it from WAY more that just one person i don't think we can be all entirely sure who actually found it but the seed is AMAZING! :biggrin.gif:
You've been using this seed for about 4 months? That is AMAZING! I mean the general public has had access to seeds sense Feb 22nd of this year, only a month and eight days ago. Here you've been using the seed on a YouTube channel for nearly three months longer than everyone has even had access to seeds. You must be a member of the Dev team, or at the very least have a contact among them that got you an early release version 1.3 so you could start playing with seeds three months before everyone else.
Of course I've got to wonder about this contact of yours as you have heard about this seed from WAY more than just one person, so that would suggest that your contact has been getting not just you, but a whole bunch of people early releases of the new versions. So you must be on the Beta Beta team, where you test out the new versions before they are released.
I any event, I decided that I absolutely had to see your YouTube channel with your survival series DEDICATED to this world, and I was a little disappointed to find out that you only have 9 videos uploaded, and absolutely none of them have anything to do with this world. Then I realized that the problem must have been that you released videos of early version things, and that Notch and his creepers had to take them down for you. I mean this is Beta Beta stuff we are talking about here released to you and MANY other people 3 months earlier than everyone else in the Minecraft community.
Anyways, it sort of sucks that those Creepers took down your videos because if any of them had been dated from before Feb 27th (The day MadMaxHH posted about this world seed) we could have renamed this world from MadMaxHH's "World in the air" to RatchetBliss's "World in the air"
I know you don't care about taking credit for this world, because I mean MANY people told you about this world and you didn't find it yourself, but clearly you've been exploring this world longer than anyone else so we should absolutely change the name of it so that it reflects this new information.
My own luck with the wolves had me see a pack of wolves on day 1, and during night 1 I got some bones, and sense then I've not seen any wolves. :sad.gif:

No real cool word that I could find easily, but if all you are interested in is the characters that result in that number you could use
