Minecraft map seeding thread!

[ursus]

As of Minecraft beta 1.3, you can now put in a "map seed" when making a new level.
What this means is, the level will be specifically fit to that string of text/numbers (But not correlated in any way).

What you all do is,
1. Start a new game in Minecraft
2. For the seed, put in your forum name
3. Explore, and post interesting screenshots

>seed "snow"

Okay.

and magic, just use that pingas'd MC launcher everyone else is using. I actually prefer it over the legit version since it doesn't force you to update.

Notch implented the new mechanic.
It allows you to enter sentences/words/numbers when creating a new world that create random effects based on some complex calculus only asians can understand.

So

It's a randomly generated world
created with random syntax's.

Okay.

No, that's the thing. The syntax is based specifically on your input.

So, the text you enter determines the shape of the map.

What

From what I've seen, it just generates a /slightly/ different map. I can see the use if someone can break down the syntax so their map can be an arctic wonderland, or a tropical island, but that's about it.
