Biomes?

Biomes?

I've got a server running for over a month now, and we've been travelling a lot, but .. there don't seem to be jungles anywhere. Or really large deserts. Got huge 1.7 style oceans, but I have yet to see biomes other than grasslands, birch forests, giant mountains, and dark-oak forests ... and maybe a few others.

Are there jungles in this at all?

That looks alright. I think you just didn't have any luck.

[Jammet]

=^_^= Or I got a real bland seed. Makes we wish we could pick a better one, but ... but ... we built stuff. A lot of stuff.

[NiLSPACE]

You can still change the seed, you would have some major chunk borders, but you can change it

[xoft]

The seed you're using is outside the valid range, so the server may fail on it somehow. I just verified that QtBiomeVisualiser fails to render such a seed correctly - it displays the map for seed value MAX_INT instead.

[Jammet]

I didn't even know there was a limit or something. I thought I could just enter.... anything really.

Now ... I will change the seed, I'll have to.

But what is the range? What can I actally enter?

[xoft]

-2147483648 .. 2147483647 - the range of 32-bit signed integer.
I didn't know the limit was this important, either - I just thought that the number would modulo-wrap back into the 32-bit range if it exceeded it. I guess it's one of those Undefined Behaviors ™

[Jammet]

Thanks!

Now -- I've been flying around at maximum speed with a valid seed. Still no Jungle. I must be cursed.
Just to make sure this is all rotten luck ... Would you know a seed that actually has jungle near spawn? (awkward questions)
