How is it possible to preview a Minecraft world only by using its seed?

I was just wondering how different apps/websites do it only by using world seed.

Like Minecraft seed map viewer.

Whenever the game has to generate a new world, it calls upon an algorithm that outputs a pseudo-random value that is then used to determine the characteristics and features of the world. However, the algorithm always outputs the same set of values each time for a constant starting point (the seed). Thus, the same seed generates the same terrain with the same structures every time.

Minecraft Java is written in Java, and it's possible to decompile and unobfuscate the source code behind the world generation (which is done through tools like https://minecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Programs_and_editors/Mod_Coder_Pack ).

Online websites exploit this, and once biomes and structures are calculated they are only shown on screen.

The Minecraft Wiki article on Spawning is a good start. Specifically; Every world has a "spawn point" (really, an area) located within a few hundred blocks of the origin (0x, 0y, 0z). This point is stored in the level.dat file's SpawnX, SpawnY, SpawnZ attributes (although SpawnY seems to be ignored). If the spawn point is deemed unacceptable, a new, temporary spawn point will be selected (although the criteria for "unacceptable" is unknown). So you always spawn "somewhere" near the center of the map (0,0). Generally the game will try to spawn you on a sand tile near water (The "washed ashore" effect). So, if you always load the same seed, then the algorithm should always plop you down in the same spot that is "close to" the center of the map. The rules for multiplayer are somewhat different however, and the article is worth the read on that aspect.

I am using Ubuntu too here are a couple of questions and suggestions ... 1) Are you using the open JDK? If you install sun's JDK and run the command sudo update-alternatives --config java and select Sun's JDK. 2) What speed is your processor and how many cores and how much RAM do you have? You might to specficy some command parameters when you run minecraft. Try giving minecraft more RAM by using the -Xmx and -Xms to give Minecraft more RAM at startup. You can read more about that here. For example the command I use is java -Xmx5000m -Xms5000m -jar minecraft.jar 3) Try turning down your video settings. Turn down the render distance and switch the graphics settings to Fast.

Mobs will default their generic.followRange base attribute value to 16.0, though certain mobs will use a different value. The following is a list of followRange values for 1.8. Zombies (and therefore Zombie Pigmen as they extend the EntityZombie class): 35.0. Withers: 40.0. Blaze: 48.0. Endermen: 64.0 Ghasts: 100.0. As far as the source is concerned, guardians will also set theirs to 16.0, though makes no difference since that's what it would be anyway. Since skeletons do not change their base value it will remain at 16.0, while zombies will have a base of 35.0, causing them to attack you from further away than skeletons.

You should be able to do this. However, on the new device you typed the seed into, you will get the same world as it was before you started building things or digging any blocks up (just to be clear). From the Wiki: This algorithm will output a pseudo-random value that is then used to determine what the world will look like. However, the algorithm will always end up with the same value if the starting point (seed) that the algorithm uses is the same number. Typing in the same exact seed should give you the same exact map (so long as it is the same version of Minecraft). Skewing it in anyway will give you an entirely different map.

Again, this is a question regarding entity coordinates testing, detecting if player is within a certain block region. It can be achieved by using volume selectors. You see, within the entity selector (@e[nbt={},....]) there are parameters called volume selectors which include x=, dx=, y=, dy=, z=, dz=. These may look complicated but they are used almost the same way you use the /fill command. x=, y=, z= represent the starting coordinates of a block region, and dx, dy, dz refer to the coordinates displacement, not the ending coordinates. Ending coordinates should be (x+dx,y+dy,z+zy). Eg: I want to detect if a player is standing in a cubic region starting (10, 10, 10) to (20, 20, 20). execute as @a[x=10,y=10,z=10,dx=10,dy=10,dz=10] run say wowiamincube Eg: It is possible to limit the detection to a single block as well. Just put in the x, y, z coordinates and set the displacements as 0. Now the only thing left is to insert your fill command after the /execute run code After the player left the door zone however, use the /execute unless command to fill the door back up the way you opened it

Here is a circuit that should work for you. In this image, the lever (input) is off and the piston (output) is off. You can tell the input is off because the torch above the lever is still on, which means it is not receiving power. You can tell the output if off because, well, you get the idea there. Turning the input on will do nothing to the output. Turning the input off will wait according to how long you set the delay on the repeaters connected to the output, then briefly pulse the output. Add more repeaters to the output as needed.

A rudimentary way to do this without a plugin is to only set all players to adventure mode and make all the tools be able to only break blocks that players have access to, for example /give @p minecraft:diamond_pickaxe 1 0 {CanDestroy:["minecraft:wool", "minecraft:bed"], HideFlags:8} so players in adventure mode can break wool and beds, hope this helps

Alternatively, you can use the CommandSigns plugin to achieve this. This assumes that the dungeon can be reached with /warp Dungeon and standard players have no access to it via the commands; only signs. Firstly, the ~ identifier allows you to place a limit on the sign, and the ^ identifier executes the command under the player's name, but with the '*' permission node. Note that this does not give them full command permissions, only just for the sign's execution; command stated in the sign. You can visit the BukkitDev Wiki page for more information. Here's how you set it up. Place a sign, you can color it, make it fancy - Do whatever you want. Just ensure it doesn't follow Essential's sign formatting. Enter the following command in the chat: /cmds add ~3600 This defines a sign, with a execution cooldown of 3,600 seconds (or 60 minutes). Except, your sign does nothing. Right click (or punch) your sign that you want this to be applied to. Enter the following command: /cmds edit and punch the sign that you created in Step 2. Enter the following command: /cmds insert 2 /^warp Dungeon. Punch/right-click the sign. You're done.

The reason why this happens is that the Slot tag also gets copied, so the item gets copied into the chest and moved to slot 100, -106, etc., which makes it disappear again immediately. Since there's nothing else with that many slots and you can't directly modify player data, you'll have to either copy id, Count and tag independently or go through something that doesn't care about the Slot tag, which can for example be an item entity (which automatically removes it, but that would place the item at slot #0 when copying it into the chest) or an arbitrary-NBT place like storage, where you can edit the slot number yourself. The first method: /data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items[{Slot:8b}] merge value {id:"stone",Count:1} /data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items[{Slot:8b}].id set from entity @s Inventory[{Slot:-106b}].id /data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items[{Slot:8b}].Count set from entity @s Inventory[{Slot:-106b}].Count /data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items[{Slot:8b}].tag set from entity @s Inventory[{Slot:-106b}].tag The second method: /data modify storage fabian:copy_help temp set from entity @s Inventory[{Slot:-106b}] /data modify storage fabian:copy_help temp.Slot set value 8 /data modify block ~ ~ ~ Items append from storage fabian:copy_help temp The parameter "append" puts the new entry at the end of the list, it can even become a 28th entry, but the list actually gets automatically reordered to be in the expected order and any item that was in that slot previously gets overwritten.

I believe the problem is that your golden chestplate is in the leggings armor slot. Here is a working command that will summon a Zombie Pigman with a Gold Chestplate: /summon minecraft:zombie_pigman ~ ~ ~ {Invulnerable:1,ArmorItems:[{},{},{id:"minecraft:golden_chestplate",Count:1},{}]} It is important that you list out the empty brackets inside of the "ArmorItems" tag, otherwise it will put the chestplate in the wrong spot. I recommend mcstacker for easily making custom items, mobs, and other things as it makes it easier to not have to remember a bunch of NBT tags.

You can force Anti-Aliasing via the control panel of your graphicscard, but at this point Minecraft does not play nicely together with Anti-Aliasing. Graphical glitches and artifacts are appearing especially in the water and above torches. Just compare these two screenshots, first without, second with Anti-Aliasing.

You could make a (local) server and excute the kill command using the console. Download the server JAR for your version (this can be found on the Minecraft Wiki, just search up the version number you're using, and download the server jar from the sidebar) Make a new folder in a place that you'll remember (like your Desktop), and copy the server JAR here. Enable file name extensions in Windows Explorer (top bar in view section), and create a new text file. Rename said text file to start.bat If you haven't already done so, install Java from java.com Click rename on the server jar file, and copy the full name of it. Then click off it. Right-click the start.bat file and click on Edit. Then type this into it: java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar server.jar (replace server.jar with the name of the jar file you downloaded. Go to your minecraft world saves folder (usually: %appdata%\.minecraft\saves), then copy the world (whole folder) with all the items into the folder on your desktop that you made earlier. Rename the world folder that you copied to world Double-click the start.bat file, you will be prompted to edit a file called eula.txt and replace "false" with "true", do that Save and close the eula.txt file and then run the start.bat file again, wait a few moments, then once it says "Preparing Spawn Area: 100%", you should be able to type the command to remove the entities. Type kill @e[type=minecraft:item] into the command window with the server console. Type save-all and kill into the console. Copy the world folder back to your Minecraft saves directory (as shown in step 8), rename it if you wish. Test to see if the world works correctly (it should have world written in grey text below the name. If it works, you can delete the folder on your desktop as well as the broken world folder. Hopefully this will work.

The text at the end is the end game screen. It's basically a lot of nonsense but has led to a lot of speculation of what it is and what it means. You can read it in detail on the wiki here. There are plenty of theories but, all in all, no one truly knows the link between the 'End Poem' and the game although on the wiki in the trivia it does say: The Final Line of the Poem, "Wake Up.", may be a reference to the creepypasta of the same name, and/or Herobrine's association with the quote. Which is one of the many theories you may find buzzing around but as I say: No one truly knows what it all means except for perhaps the author himself, Julian Gough.

This particular version of Minecraft Loader has been reported to cause memory leaks. Remove that mod for now, at least until a new version comes out.
