i like most things about 1.8 and anything about minecraft for that matter but this is bad... all the wonderful seeds we have discovered... the thousands of great seeds that people spent hours finding will all be gone! this means no more gargamel no more glacier no more 404 challenge! if you had a favorite seed it will now be gone! i propose a solution. a minecraft seed project like never before!
i say we need to get completely untouched copies of all the best seeds like 404, gargamel, archspore and whatever seeds people wanna add and post them for download somewhere on here in files like adventure maps. this would be the only way to preserve these great worlds! we need to go before its too late!
the government has the global seed vault that keeps the seeds of plants safe incase of a world changing disaster. we need to keep the minecraft seeds safe! we need a minecraft seed vault!
we need people who can upload saved cpoies of the untouched seeds and we need an admin to make an area on the forums that would be easily accessable where we could put all the great seeds to save them for future minecrafters. who is with me?
thank you! i think this is very important because like i said otherwise hundreds of hours of work finding seeds would be lost. there could be like something stuck on the seeds part of the forums called like outdated seeds. that way anyone could add their seeds. so we would have all the best ones and people could all preserve their personal favorite seeds. that way we dont lose the 404 challenge and gargamel and seeds like that and nobody loses their seeds they were proud to find. i personally have my favorite seed i found and im gonna back it up before 1.8 but if there was somewhere to have people all come togeather and create a collection of seeds it would be great. and i dont think most people even realize the seeds they have already found wont be the same world in a few weeks. we dont have much time! so help get the word out!
I would like to help... but the guy that thought of the 404 map has uploaded em himself
ok well thats good that he did that. even still if you wanna help thats great! go to the link i posted and if you dont already know how learn to upload the files. read everything in the post of the the link and then post your seeds there. if there are any you personally want saved do them. also if you wanna search the forums for cool ones to save you can do that too. and try get the word out however you can cuz the more people helping the better!
Just back up your 1.7.3 version in a seperate folder. When you update to 1.8, you can switch back to 1.7.3 by moving folders around. I've still got copies of 1.5 and 1.6 stored away in my computer using this method
I have a question regarding seeds...
The seed generator will stay in 1.8 or not ?
I personnaly don't care of the changes about he way the worlds are generated, as long as we could make our personnal ones, like now, choosing "seeds" for it.

Well, the seed generator will stay the same. But we may end up with rivers/ravines/strongholds generating through our favourite natural features in all our favourite seeds.
the generator will stay meaning that you will still be able to imput seeds. but it wont stay the same. and its not just adding new biomes into our old seeds worlds. they will be completely different worlds. and yes some people will just back up their 1.7 files. but some wont so it would be good to have a place where all the old seeds are still available. and some people will join minecraft later and they will see the youtube videos out there now of the greats seeds and wanna play them but they wont be able to unless we do this.
to answer everyone here, the world generation has to change with the new biomes and the larger oceans. there is nyou can add new biomes and not change the generation because otherwise the biomes wouldnt appear in any worlds.
i agree there will be lots of great new seeds in 1.8, in fact thats the first thing in gonna do is try find awesome new seeds. but this will be to save peoples hours of work finding old seeds and for anyone who wants t play things like gargamel or the 404 challenge. and for anyone who has a personal favorite seed they dont wanna lose.
yes i will have saved copies of a pre 1.8 minecraft but a lot of people wont so this will help them. also new people will surely start playing minecraft and they may see the great youtube videos of awesome seeds and it would be a shame if they could never play them.
and if you wanna help but you dont know any seeds just look for cool ones on the forums in the seeds section, there are a ton of awesome ones. any help is appreciated :smile.gif:
ok i highly doubt the seeds will change that drastically that they dont keep the same basic gist of what they were before, and anyway, those maps will be obsolete anyway. 1.8 as much part of minecraft as any other version so what comes of the generated maps should be accepted unless its something totally unbearable. and even if those seeds are messed up, then we can find new seeds that are just as great. i just think this is kind of a waste of time sorry
Im in, im going to upload my own seed a
i discovered.
ok cool. thats the point is thqat lots of people (including me) have their own seeds they found and want to keep. i will move the link of where to post them to the original post to make navigation easier

It's kind of implied in the larger oceans and rivers update. I think it's safe to say that the world creation algorithms won't remain the same.Ravines and strongholds could be added after generation but it's hard to see how rivers and larger oceans could be added without changing the world generation.
Wow. you think that garagamel 404 and all of the cool seeds will be COMPLETELY different? No... they WILL be the same. Seeds have existed in the game forever, and gargamel is the same in infdev, as it is in beta, but with added terrain generations. (EG: Redstone,Lapis Lazuli, and sandstone.) the mountaints will be exactly the same because it uses the same generator.
