Math.random()
function returning 0. (see § Trivia)/seed
.String.hashCode()
function is used to generate a number seed. This restricts Minecraft to a subset of the possible worlds to 232 (or 4,294,967,296), due to the datatypes used. Number seeds or a default world seed must be used to access the full set of possible worlds (264, or 18,446,744,073,709,551,616). There are only 248 possible seeds (within the range [−263, 263−1]) if randomly generated by Minecraft due to using nextLong()
.String.hashCode()
function returns a zero value, the 'zero seed' can still be used. Word strings that produce a zero seed include creashaks organzine
, pollinating sandboxes
, and drumwood boulderhead
.[2] However, any text that hashes to 0 works, such as 166lr735ka3q6
