#1 minecraft We have found the SEED of Minecraft's title-screen background PANORAMA!

Post by Newshound »

Everyone should be familiar with this world. It's the one that always appeared on Minecraft's main-menu (title-screen), blurred and slowly rotating. It first appeared in 2011 for Minecraft Beta 1.8 and remained for many years, it was only recently replaced in 1.13 each subsequent version.

The seed was found on 18th of July 2020 at around 5:45 AM UTC.

Version:
Beta 1.7.3 Coordinates: X=61.48~, Y=75, Z=-68.73~ Seed: 2151901553968352745 OR 8091867987493326313 (both work)

Why 2 seeds? There are actually 2^16 (=65536) seeds that will all generate this identical world. This is because these older versions of Minecraft used only 48 of the bits of the seed. Here's the formula for getting all of them, as explained by Earthcomputer:
25357015387625 + 2^48k, 0
