Ever since Minecraft was created in 2009 there is trillions of unique Minecraft worlds all with different seeds a number used to decide the location of every mountain, village and tree this single number is the reason that every single Minecraft world is unique.
Today we will explore the most famous, historical and unique minecraft seeds throughout minecrafts history.
Lets get into it!
#1
Our first seed is minecrafts original title seed released on september 14 2011 along with Minecraft version beta 1.8.1, for anyone that hasent been playing minecraft for 10 years, it is this little panorama you would see upon loading into minecraft and has been minecrafts title screen for most of the games existence lasting from minecraft release 1.8.1 to the aquatic update. The original seed wasn’t found until very recently when players reversed the exact seed by using the orientation of the grass blocks where the picture was taken . but if you’re interested in learning more, I linked some better ones in the description.
I explored around the seed and found it to be quite a nice place, so if you want a idea for a new survival lets-play, here you go- although I dont know anyone who wants to play on the beta version of minecraft.
#2
The herobraine seed… if you dont know who herobriane is, well hes a creepypasta started back in 2010 where a minecraft player was casually playing in a singleplaer world until… yeah… This image would soon go on to make history with many videos songs and mods being made about this mysterious figure.
I’m not sure how real this image is- it could very easily be faked.
Upon exploring the seed I found that it was also a nice… place…
Ok, lets move on
#3
Stampys lovely world
Here we have a seed from one of the most successful lets-plays in all of Minecraft, started over 10 years ago- for anyone who doesnt know who stampy is, hes an OG mincraft youtuber that created a survival lets-play. Sadly this world was discontinued very recently.
Upon loading into the world, you are met with a nice snowy biome with a lot of mountains, overall… pretty mid seed but its historical value cannot be understated.
#4
Next up we have Minecraft seed 404 which works from alpha 1.2 to beta 1.7 versions of Minecraft, this was the very first challenge seed of Minecraft where players have to spend their first day of the game gathering resources on the surface for the challenges to come- then when night falls, break this patch of gravel right next to spawn to reveal a cave to enter and never return
The actual seed is… mid and I don't know anyone who still actively plays the alpha version fo Minecraft, so let's move on.
#5
Our next seed is by far, the most broken Minecraft seed I have ever seen, On this seed of Minecraft versions 1.10 to 1.12, this seed will get you infinitely repeating structures in minecraft, specifically, caves which literally repeat until minecrafts world border, 60 million by 60 million blocks full of infinitely repeating caves- the cool thing about this is that there are actually around 274 BILLION of these seeds, all with different caves, this happens because of some inherent problems with minecrafts seed generator, basically, the top layers of a minecraft world were encoded using a 64 bit number (a 64 character number that determines the layout of every single minecraft world), but the thing is… that minecrafts cave generator used a 48 bit number to design the layout of the caves… which is a lot, LOT smaller than a 64 bit numebr, this caused many problems with minecraft that made over 274 billion of these seeds possible. I could go in depth about exactly how this error occurred but I'm too dumb so I linked some videos explaining the glitch in the “resources” section in the description.
- sadly, this bug was fixed very recently with the Minecraft seed system changing into a 64 bit configuration instead of a 48-bit one so dont expect any seeds like this anytime soon, who knows, this glitch might still be around today, im too lazy to find out so I encourage you to!
#6
Our next minecraft seed is so rare that the probability of it happening to you in one in trillions, okay… every seed is one in trillions, but there is only one seed like this in the entire history of minecraft. this seed contains a structure that is so rare that it only exists in one minecraft world s. OK, here we go…
Although it may not seem like much, this glitch is the rarest one to ever happen in the entire history of minecraft- this glitch can be seen on many alpha versions of Minecraft
There are two main interesting features of this seed, 1: you’ll will notice this big structure- seemingly ripped out of the ground and two, you will notice that all the terrain surrounding the the structure is completely flat which is basically unheard of in this version of minecraft with reglar minecraft terrain even today being very steep.
Well, how did this happen? this bug was caused because of minecrafts generation- minecraft uses a perlin noise map to generate its terrain which is basically a sheet with a bunch of values between 1 and 0 which equal the hight of Minecraft’s terrain.
What happened in this seed is that the map decided to choose either the number 0 or a number below 0 which caused a bunch of irregularities in Minecraft terrain generation causing a structure that is completely empty up to Y level 71 besides water and bedrock with the rest being filled in with stone
There is as far as we know, old one seed with the perfect conditions to allow this to happen.
#7
Okay… I’m out of historical or famous seeds that are interesting… so I’ll move on to some modern-day seeds that are beautiful and you could reasonably use for your Minecraft world.
I don't know, I just found this one off the internet- here it is, Just imagine building a base right here or something- cool, right?
#8
This one is pretty cool I'm recording this near Christmas so… yeah it's pretty cool, on some versions of this seed there is lava which makes it look about a billion times better, especially if you used different shaders… I'm using shaders called kappa which doesn't make ice transparent for some reason… this seed is more of a sky base seed because I couldnt imagine a half decent base that isnt floating in the air, uh i dont know, I'm just talking at this point.
#9
The final seed… I like this seed, I could actually imagine playing minecraft on it, if you arent able to tell, I like the badlands, no, mesa biome, I just think its pretty cool- especially with the lake, this seed would make a really good mountain base
Just so you guys know, I might be taking a break for a couple of weeks to write scripts, who knows- I might make one last video before i go.
