that is the PPCG seed

How about I plan to reset the world 3 hours from now, assuming no major objections. Is that time ok for everyone?

Sure. You should probably notify people in the 19th byte.

El'endia Starman

Sounds great! I eagerly anticipate it... :D

oh boy

Unless anyone has major objections, the PPCG Minecraft Server will be updated to version 1.9 and completely reset approximately 3 hours from now (at 1am, March 1, 2016, UTC). The old world data will be available to download for local use. If you have objections, tell me now!

8

10:09 PM

Probably the only objection really would be that the computer will be destroyed, but we didn't get close to finishing that anyways

no :P

We should have set our sights lower.

Two-counter additive machine?

I have never played 1.9, so I'm excited to see what the shields are like

Meanwhile I'll take suggestions for a meaningful seed (meaningful to ppcg or programming, not a seed that has 20 diamonds at the spawn or something)

I'd like to see spawn be in a cool biome

I liked Hello, New World!

10:11 PM

Good.

user image

^^ is "Hello, World!"

Where can I find specs for chat markdown?

@HelkaHomba Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been busy all day.

@epicTCK chat.stackexchange.com/faq#formatting

HELLO MY PEEPS

I think a server restart would be okay. It's the cycle of life.

use chunkbase.com/apps to check out seeds and how good they are

10:17 PM

I recommend mineatlas.com for looking for seeds

i have personally used both chunkbase and mineatlas

chunk base is good for finding exact biomes but i find that mineatlas looks better

@orlp HELLO YOUR PEEPS

also you can select to see different structures on the biomes

Now that we've already had one server, we can plan a lot more about how we are going to lay out the second one.

I have a couple ideas.

Golf Script

10:19 PM

@HelkaHomba How about a mod diamond?

But I'll need to see what the terrain looks like first.

Have the seed be a program.

has a mesa ~ 5000 blocks away

can someone

I like mesas

10:20 PM

add me to minecraft whitelist

@orlp no

@orlp yes

and a mushroom island ~ 1000 blocks away

@orlp eat pie yes

@HelkaHomba

@HelkaHomba talk to the @orlp

10:20 PM

/me eats pie

mineatlas.com/… this is a good example of what mineatlas can do

@orlp thanks

Hello, New World! has a village and horses

FOR NOTHING YOU ATE MY BELOVED PIE HOW COULD YOU

mushroom only 1000 blocks away? That's pretty great IMHO.

10:20 PM

@epicTCK horses aren't seed-dependent.

MUSHROOM?

@PhiNotPi yeah

I HATE MUSHROOMS

@orlp YEAH

@orlp I DON"T

I WILL FIND EVERY MUSHROOM BIOME AND SLAUGHTER ALL COWS

10:21 PM

MOOSHROOMS ACTAULLY

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO WALK HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLOCKS MUAHHAHA

I gtg for the day... :(

i really want to see the new world though

... and an ice spikes plains about 3500 blocks away

@orlp added orlp

@orlp but not for long with that attitude ;)

@HelkaHomba why not? I just have a feud with mooshrooms

they killed my parents

raped my sister

10:22 PM

woah dude

yeah they're pretty messed up

Are you sure it wasn't just regular cows wearing mushrooms?

'Nobody outgolfs dennis' is a pretty nice one.

@TheNumberOne good point

I guess I can't be sure enough

I should kill ALL cows

lol

wait, shouldn't that mean that you don't kill any cows?

Becuase it's not like you can shear the mushrooms off.

10:25 PM

I'm going to lose a lot of sleep tonight with this reset thing.

seed.new() is directly next to a mushroom biome

Now like I'm campaigning or anything, but 'Easterly Irk♦' is a nice seed....

holy crap

the new enchantment

'mending'

opieop

Look for something that spawns in a relatively flat area at 65-80 elevation.

I have a really really good idea for our new spawn

I would also prefer spawn to be a relatively large, flat area.

10:28 PM

We're going to make an artifical plateau with spawn inside it branching out underground

okay?

try 233219516310958

"programming puzzles & code golf" is a pretty good seed except for lack of jungles.

I heard the word "plateau" and I'm sold.

2

this is flat

10:29 PM

That actually sound pretty cool.

you know it

It'll be awsum

A savanna would be cool to spawn in.

With a Savanna M nearby

-011152403015397 is kinda interesting: tons of tiny islands

I have to go, but if you find such a seed in a cool biome let me and Helka know

Well, 'PPCG not CR!' spawns in the middle of an ocean. @Mojang ಠ_ಠ

@AquaTart kay

10:31 PM

is there a seed explorer?

@AquaTart don't go!!

mineatlas.com/…

@TheNumberOne but savannahs are usually at really low elevations :(

CR not PPCG! actually is pretty good.

wait, what am I saying??????

mineatlas doesn't show stronghold?

@AquaTart The tallest mountains I've ever seen in minecraft have always been in the Savanna M biome.

10:32 PM

Nope.

774550415206299 has a savanna, savanna M, and the three types of mesa

@TheNumberOne Mega Taiga M works for me.

7084540371814454228 quad witchhut

1.618033988749894848204586834 is a pretty good seed.

mineatlas.com/… oh look at this it spawns on flat grassland with roofed forest and jungle close by

10:33 PM

@PhiNotPi is that number familiar? :P

mineatlas is 1.8 though

oh

:(

brb trying Golf Script and seeing if anything changes

El'endia Starman

TIL ocean monuments are a LOT more common than I thought.

^

They are really hard to find. :(

@EasterlyIrk Not sure what you mean.

10:34 PM

I really like "ppcg"

@PhiNotPi 1.618033988749894848204586834

And yeah, some of the seeds above are from mineatlas, but I guess I thought overworld generation was the same.

El'endia Starman

Whatever seed you guys pick, I'm in charge of making the maps. :P

I think I'll make a map wall with maps at each zoom level.

Already designing it in my head... :P

I wish there was a good way to generate dirt in vanilla.

The mineatlas is wrong for 1.9 :(

10:37 PM

k, is chunkbase accurate?

brb googling chunkbase

El'endia Starman

The issue is probably that the generation algorithm changed between 1.8 and 1.9.

If chunkbase isn't up-to-date...

Say, if anyone finds a seed that starts at a mesa that would be perfect for what I have in mind.

You can always do it locally

@El'endiaStarman it isn't.

10:38 PM

chunkbase does igloos already

I think I have the wrong link...

btw I like plains with nearby oceans and mesas

chunkbase is terrible though

^

why does it not show everything on one map

10:39 PM

My ideal spawn is a plains biome that just so happens to be adjacent to every other biome in the game.

@PhiNotPi so far :)

El'endia Starman

Whatever you guys pick, I'd like the privilege of building the map wall right in front of spawn. As in, I dig into the dirt and build up with some material and put maps on it, so when new people join, they immediately see a map of the area.

Go for it.

@El'endiaStarman Sure

chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#seed.new() if only this was up to date... mushroom biome spawn

10:40 PM

my ideal spawn is a good spawn on top of a nether fortress

@TheNumberOne pls link pls

or at least, that's where I'll build

We should build our "spawn hut" around the spawn square.

@orlp rofl

@PhiNotPi good idea.

@EasterlyIrk chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder

10:41 PM

@EasterlyIrk I'm serious

err

I mean end fortress

or whatever it's called

wtf???

I is confused.

I want to jump down from my base straight into the end

stronghold.

right

irrelavent thing of the day

10:41 PM

stronghold

in The Nineteenth Byte, 2 mins ago, by mınxomaτ

user image

El'endia Starman

Strongholds are always ~120 blocks from the spawn.

tumblr wants it's gf back

only 120? I thought it was much more.

@El'endiaStarman yes, I want it to be under a good biome

so I can just jump down straight into the end

El'endia Starman

10:42 PM

@PhiNotPi I think remember right.

that's the only thing that matters for placing your base

everything else can be brought to you

> within 1408–2688 of the origin

El'endia Starman

oh, I was wrong

only the end portal doesn't move

"java" starts in a mesa and has 3 mushroom islands in a 5000 block radius

10:43 PM

@TheNumberOne link whatever you are using pls???

El'endia Starman

I got 120 from the fact that they're 120 degrees away from each other.

Everybody hates Java, tho.

@EasterlyIrk chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#java

El'endia Starman

And TIL there's more than one ring of strongholds. That must be a fairly recent change?

@PhiNotPi I don't :D

10:43 PM

@El'endiaStarman yeah

Also, it appears that there's now 128 of them,

oh, chunkbase is accurate, and java is a great one.

El'endia Starman

Oh, that is a 1.9 change. Cool!

Dang, minecraft.gamepedia is fast. :P

(Well, they probably use the pre-releases for that information.)

desert temple right next to spawn

I call it as house

well, ~1000 blocks away.

spawn is on a mountain tho

and desert village

El'endia Starman

The best place for spawn probably is a flat-ish area. With woods nearby.

10:46 PM

"java" also spawns fairly close to an ocean that is adjacent to almost all of the biomes

no woods, mesa, desert, savanna

on a peninsula with ocean around.

No one likes my plateau idea?

Trying to find one....

No big ones.

El'endia Starman

We can just make one...

i meant an artificial one

A natural one would not work because then true spawn would be aboveground

10:48 PM

@orlp mineatlas.com is up to date...

I want to put it underground

The only problem with "java" is that I can't find any jungle biomes :/

nope

@Sam not utd with 1.9...

it is i am testing it

user image

10:48 PM

on 1.9 minecraft

@Sam my first test was wrong. :/

how do i post image?

upload button next to send

i have no upload...

user image

10:50 PM

nope not there

WTF?

Can you imgur a screenshot?

And [chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#calvin\'s hobbies](chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#calvin\'s hobbies)

is a next one.

P=NP gives a bunch of ice.

imgur?

imgur.com

I think the upload button is a rep privilege.

10:52 PM

IDK

chunkbase.com/apps/biome-finder#helka Helka is nice.

I'd really like a very large ocean near spawn. Then it's easy to adventure off to new places

Swamp, mesa, ocean, islands, mushroom islands.

I like that one.

Except it says HELKA NOT CALVIN IT IS SACRELIGE

imgur.com/a/ygka0

P=NP spawned me near a floating igloo

@EasterlyIrk see... xD

10:55 PM

hm

you're right.

"python" is pretty lame

I have to get some actual work done, so ping me if you see any good ones. I won't go far though.

El'endia Starman

:(

^

@HelkaHomba try seed.new() its a mushroom biome next to an ocean

10:58 PM

nice, but no mesa's for a long ways.

Yeh i know only problem really

structures are quite scarce to

Actually, there is a Mesa 6000 blocks to the west.

A mushroom biome close to other biomes would be perfect

In about 10 min I'm going to shut down the server for the very last backup. I'll put it back online after but nothing will be saved from then on.

Time to vandalize?

10:59 PM

@Sam Is your avatar from Free!?

El'endia Starman

Shoot, I should've made some TNT!

i found it on google images XD

Wow! "lab rat race" is really good.

@PhiNotPi okai

El'endia Starman

...that's what he's doing.

11:01 PM

^

yeah

oops

then I'll try to put a zip of it online

El'endia Starman

And actually, I can make the TNT after the server comes back up and blow up my stuff with it. :D

Especially the sheep farm. MUAHAHAHA

Maybe we should make videos of the new world

11:02 PM

We could do more videos.

Or at least more progress pics.

El'endia Starman

I'll leave that up to you guys. :P

"lab rat race" has an ocean about 700 blocks to the east that borders pretty much every biome

El'endia Starman

I can do pics though.

I might be able to record in 720p.

look at "Milkshake" its a great seed but not flat

11:03 PM

I would have to experiment with ffmpeg a bit

whenever i try to record minecraft my game suffers no lag but the video always does

I get rendering artifacts in Minecraft sometimes

but not in other games...

Well i recommend for a seed you choose "seed.new()" or "Milkshake" but i must go for now see you later guys...

Server down for backup

"jelly" spawns at the edge of an ocean with several biomes bordering it.

11:16 PM

Elevation at true spawn?

2 or 3 blocks above sea level

Hit f3

Y coord

you still there?

We decided on a seed yet?

no

user image

11:26 PM

I think lab rat race is our current best.

seed "Never Gonna Give You Up"

and there's a witch hut

@PhiNotPi oh

@PhiNotPi what is the elevation at true spawn and how far is it from an ocean

"true spawn" is on the side of some kind of "savanna plateau"

Y coord?

11:30 PM

@PhiNotPi Looks nice, but is there an ocean?

Looks like the nearest ocean is 300 blocks away, but the ocean borders almost every biome.

y coord is 81

Perfect

but it's literally on the side of a hill that goes from 88 to 64

I would prefer a more level spawn.

That's perfect we can just extend the hill

not good for @El'endiaStarman's maps

11:33 PM

No trust me you'll get a level spawn

idk, it's a very big savanna hill dropping off to a huge plain

I'd prefer a flatter spawn too

@AquaTart Sorry, I had just exited minecraft when you asked the question.

Spawn is going to be a massive flat cavern.

Besides you can build on the flat plain below it if you want that

@AquaTart But players always spawn on the highest y level with only air above it (at least, that's how it worked in 1.8)

we can do something like having glass or half slabs above the spawning square

11:39 PM

@PhiNotPi idk if that works. I've definitely spawned on top of hoppers (which are non-solid)

okay

did anyone check the seed "orlp"

it's logical if it's awesome

Let's choose something a little more universal ;)

orlp_universal

u_u

11:41 PM

i found a good seed

not kidding though

orlp_universal seems decent

flat plains next to ocean near mushroom biome and vilage

imgur.com/PtaPXpF

village is top left

spawn pink wool lower right

mineatlas.com/… and this is a map of it

El'endia Starman

@HelkaHomba I'll probably end up doing some terraforming.

Thinking about doing an 11x11 to start with, with half of it under level ground.

@Sam hmm, I do like this, just perhaps too much ocean

i thought you wanted ocean xD

El'endia Starman

11:44 PM

And I'll terrace the ground in front of it, and probably put a duplicate on the back of the map wall that has platforms in places that help with looking closer at certain parts.

how do I run minecraft on 64 bit java?

I want to allocate 4gigs of memory to minecraft

but it complains

programming languages spawns next to a massive ocean

@HelkaHomba You can just use /spawnpoint or adventure mode

btw are you guys coming on discord?

Graduation is next to a witch hut but doesn't have a big ocean that doesn't have islands

11:45 PM

Or we can make it open air

@AquaTart yeah yeah, but we're tweaking circumstances enough as it is

I am pretty sure that half slabs would work though

Anyways we can make the 20x20 part open to the sky and the rest closed up

make it look like a volcano perhaps

We should take a vote.

1. flat traditional spawn

2. volcano

3. something with trees

"lab rat race"

11:49 PM

lab rat race

I'm ok with lab rat race if you spawn planners aren't fussed

Hello, World! looks nice from above, let me look at the spawn area

We don't really need perfect flatness for a spawn anyways. The spawn on my personal server is in jungle hills and its spawn is still beautiful

A hilltop spawn would make a nice view

I was thinking of putting a glass window in the top spawn level of the volcano facing the ocean

El'endia Starman

11:53 PM

I'll just do whatever terraforming I need to for the map wall.

Map wall can be its own floor.

El'endia Starman

I want it to be the first thing new (to the world) players see.

I should probably build an example in Creative mode and post a screenshot.

I was hoping to have shops on the first level but OK sure

Poll to confirm lab rat race as the new seed: strawpoll.me/6959800

3

Mind you these floors will be really really big

@HelkaHomba strawpoll doesnt work for me on mobile, just pretend there is a yes vote from me

El'endia Starman

11:56 PM

Consider my vote to be "anything is fine". :P

When are we starting the server, in an hour or so?

@PhiNotPi Yes

i wish i wasn't in the uk its midnight and i didn't want to miss out on this, oh well

@DJMcGoathem @Eridan @orlp @Magenta @Rainbolt @ballesta25 Vote please!

Bah, I have like 2 hours of work I need to do in 45 minutes then. Let's do this xD

@TheNumberOne Voted yes
