FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

Anyone know how to make specific map seeds?

I think not, the world is causally generated

I'm pretty sure the map seed is displayed with the debug text

See your world dir's map_meta.txt, the seed is there.

You can create a new world with a custom numerical seed by editing "/world/map_meta.txt" and removing the current "map.sqlite" file in the same directory.

If you always want the same map seed, or don't mind editing your minetest.conf a lot, you can specify "fixed_map_seed = (whatever)" in your minetest.conf.

I meant like what map seed does what. (0 will give an interesting ocean cliff)

not sure but as far as i can tell map seeds are normally very long and complicated (but then again i have no clue how to work with the .conf file or hardly any files for that matter xD)


if your wanting a specific map (alot of oceans,or land, or high plateus) then you need to either get very very lucky in generation of a map (or hunt for a spot within its 31k blocks in ea direction) or you can request a mod for it...i think someone is making/has made a mod where the map is just flat plains all over but i dont know where its at or if its done

I know about the flatlands mod.

There was a thing online where you type your map seed in and it shows the coordinates of all nyancat bricks.

Here is the URL.

Awesome!


I always do search for a seed for a lone island.
Has anyone found one?

I did not know about this. That's pretty cool.
