Minecraft worlds are procedurally generated from numbers and words known as seeds A seed specifies whatever from the nearby blade of grass to the farthest mountain, and the most fascinating seeds become challenges in themselves, shared by players and even aquiring fandoms of their own

In less than 24 hours after launching the panorama application; a volunteer host on [email protected] found this seed.

Another ongoing project is look for the highest cactus (presently we have actually found a 22 obstruct high one!).
