Resource world in new map

I am assuming there will be one, so I am curious, have you guys decided to go random again or use seeds? If seeds, this one:

4031384495743822299

Is AMAZ-A-ZING! (Benchwarmers reference)

Here is a link to the photos of it & the details. It has every major biome within 2000 blocks of 0,0

I may use it for my reset on resource on my server.

YSK that it is generally a bad idea for servers to use seeds that are publicly known or suggested. Other players may generate single-player worlds with those seeds to locate resources (e.g. diamond), in effect allowing for offline xray. You should avoid using those seeds for your server.

That said, the ones in that thread do look pretty cool.

I didn't think of that. How would the player find out what seed you are using in said circumstance? Is there a command to find out the seed a server is running? Not that I want to xray or anything, just curious.

the seed is in the info pane i believe (hitting f3). jay i think your idea is a good one but one that the seeds should probably be pm'd to the mods so people can't do what vander is talking about.

The way you get the seed is /seed.

That command is for ops only (or anyone on single player with cheats) (or depending on how your permissions are set up, whatever permission group it's set to)

So, people can't get it that easily. The reason why it was pointed out is because you posted the seed here publicly. If we used it, everyone would know (at least if we responded, and if we didn't publicly, they still might guess that's what we used, and it's rather easy to verify).

The other thing is, even if it was just a privately made suggestion, that's still at least one player that knows the seed, that we'd have to trust to never give it out, or abuse (which could be tempting). I'm not saying I distrust you, it's just another level of trust to worry about that we don't necessarily need to. I also don't want other players feeling like another player has an unfair advantage, knowing the seed and all. I'd feel bad doing that even if no other players knew about it.

Hope that makes sense.

Not anymore for multiplayer; this used to be possible, but was an oversight that Mojang quickly fixed.
