It started on 14th June 2020, when Tomlacko researched as much as he could about the panorama and it's world (the version, world axis and the exact Z coordinate using clouds) and shared my findings on SalC1's Discord server, where a similar project was currently taking place (finding the seed of the pack.png image). What can change however is placement of trees and such, because that also depends of the order chunks are generated. There are no differences between these seeds. And no, this has nothing to do with "shadow seeds", those aren't in these versions. Also note, that there is not any word/string of characters that will produce this seed, it was generated randomly. Here's the formula for getting all of them, as explained by Earthcomputer:Ģ5357015387625 + 2^48k, 0 <= k < 2^16 (k is an integer)īut only the 2 seeds mentioned are "valid", in the sense that they can be naturally generated by Minecraft (because of Java's random function implementation). This is because these older versions of Minecraft used only 48 of the bits of the seed. Why 2 seeds? There are actually 2^16 (=65536) seeds that will all generate this identical world. The seed was found on 18th of July 2020 at around 5:45 AM UTC. It first appeared in 2011 for Minecraft Beta 1.8 and stayed for many years, until it was only recently replaced in 1.13 and every version after that. It's the one that always appeared on Minecraft's main-menu (title-screen), blurred and slowly rotating around. Everyone should be familiar with this world.
