I'm new to this forum, so bear with me :smile.gif:
I have (had) a great seed with a spawner at ground level (beside water), but my son corrupted the level.dat when modifying the inventory (then deleted the world - that's not going happen again, at least not until the cast comes off). All I have is the corrupt level.dat. Anyone have a tool that can 'gracefully' parse the file? Most tools crap out and don't display what they can find.
MCEdit craps out with 'AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'Height'. I suspect the Seed value is still there, but the pointers are a bit messed up.
Check the seed FAQ to see if any other tools are mentioned. I have seen talk of several in the last few months.
Also ask in the support section, as you might find better help there. A general description of the seed section would be "sharing seeds" rather than technical knowledge of them.
Can you share the level.dat file somewhere so that people can look at it?
One experiment to try. Generate a new world or copy some other working one. Then replace the level.dat file with a copy of the bad one. What does minecraft do? Starting it using the java command at the command prompt may yield some information.

Thanks, E.

Short, easy-to-remember (ETR) seeds.
try that one
I was able to decode the seed using a HEX editor.
All had returned to good, but now with 1.8, the seed doesn't give you the same results :sad.gif:
