Okay I just checked it out And I must say this: can we please spam ibxtoycat and eckosolgier with a request to review this seed? It's amazing. It ALMOST meets my criteria for a near perfect seed. Truly, if it had a flower forest it would... That said the mega taiga's sheer size makes up for it. It's got a reasonable land/water ratio, 60/40 I'd say. Maybe 70/30 if not for a rather large lake.
The lack of a swamp is the biggest flaw but... You can find chunks that spawn slimes underground without be I swamps... Rare as they are.
At worst I might start it in creative and make a bedrock encased automatic trader and water/ice transports to make a tamper proof trading system for slime balls or slime spawn eggs. Maybe 1 redstone block gives 1 slime ball to keep them valuable but not excessively so. A similar system could be made to say, dispense one of every flower in exchange for... Say... A lapis or something. (I don't care about leader board stuff, so as lo as it's tamper proof and can't be exploited I don't mind making such things before starting survival.)
The biggest aestetic flaw is too much desert, but even so it's not obnoxiously dominating, taking up at most 1/4 of the map.
So I have been wanting to actually dwell on mostly one seed, I tire of hopping around from one seed to another and getting nothing really done. So I have been seed hunting. I hope to do some more serious hunting tomorrow and will share any really good ones I find here, but I guess I was hoping if I put out what I am hunting for, maybe someone will know of one that fits. If so, hey can give the seed and possibly explain it. In return, if anyone is looking for something specific themselves, while I am hunting I will keep an eye out for it.
So... In general here is what I am looking for:
Necessary:
---Jungle (just for ocelots and some wood, doesn't need to be big, just not like... 1 tree)
---Village (just one needed... I can make more houses and breed villagers, so really all it needs is say... 1 house and 2 villagers)
---Ocean Temple/Monument (way too many exclusive blocks and mobs are found here, so it's not optional)
---Swamp (Slime balls and blocks are awesome)
Biomes (3/4 of these, Any 3 as long as they aren't miniscule, like 1 Ice spike or a tiny patch of red sand):
-Mesa
-Mega Taiga/Redwood Forest
-Ice Spikes
-Flower forest
(Why these? Exclusive blocks mostly. Ice spikes is awesome... But given the choice, flower forest and mesa have more exclusive blocks...[red sand(stone), etc.] Mega taiga as well.)
Preferences: (things I like... But I am not going to reject a great seed over)
~Sunflower plains (sunflowers are exclusive... But not as big a draw to me as podzol or flower forests)
~All wood types
~Mostly land (Big oceans are fine... I just don't want a few scraps of land on a big ocean map. If it's like 70% water that's a no go for me)
~Mushroom biome (mooshrooms are cute! And exclusive block... But again... Not necessary, just a thing I like.)
So I have been. Seed hunting I haven't found much in terms of great seeds. But I found one many people may like.
RxS6 is the seed name and it stands for RaynexStephen, my name, then by boyfriends. It starts you on a plain biome between woods and a desert. Very near spawn are 2 ravines, one can take you as far as Y12 because the bottom is blended into some of the freakiest cave pattern I have seen. It has hundreds, possibly thousands of coal, it's visible everwhere, more obsidion than you could need, and tons of iron and gold and the like. This ravine is nearer the woods in the spawn location, a tiny walk away.
An equally tiny walk away towards the desert has another ravine, loaded with stuff, and it will get you close to diamond level, but you will need to dig perhaps, though I haven't explored all the caves in the ravine so maybe not.
Then at X180 Z-113 there is another ravine, half covered. Its just packed with ores and such, and a cave takes you down to Y12, a good level to strip mine.
At X-40 Z-69 there is an above ground zombie Spawner with 2 chests, multiple saddles and diamond horse armor, 2 possibly if I recall.
At X-261 Z347 (not far from spawn) There is a mos5my submerged desert temple.
At X138 Z 122 there is another desert temple.
There is at least 1 more ravine I can't find again.
I have never seen a word so packed with resources easily reached from spawn.
Oh and like... A quarter or half of all the seeds I check there seems to be a tiny bit of a desert temple trying to spawn in the ocean at the end of the map. Goofy things.

Anyone else have cool seeds to share?
