Seeds are stored per world.

@JonHanna hashCode() is only used if the entered seed has letters in it. It wouldn't be used on -3010441696458036422.

@JonHanna I believe hashCode() is only used if the seed entered has letters in it. If you enter "1" into the seedbox, the level seed is just 1. -140449792 does not create the same world as -3010441696458036422.

You say that the number you are showing is "far lower than the -2,147,483,648 that Kevin van der Velden claims is the minimum value" but you also say "Java's hashCode() function is used to turn it into a number." meaning it's just another way to say -140449792, which is not less than -2147483648. Which is true?

| Jul 14, 2015 at 16:03 | comment | added | SirBenet | @Lilienthal The other answer was the accepted answer at the time of that edit, so I felt the need to notify OP that the answer they accepted is wrong, and why it is wrong. I'm not trying to be passive aggressive, just make sure people have the right information. If my answer is incorrect, then I'd be happy for someone to write another answer with the correct answer, mentioning why mine is incorrect. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 14:17 | comment | added | Lilienthal | @colorfusion The image might well be useful (even if a single value doesn't say much about the range), but answers should generally be self-contained. It also comes across as rather passive agressive to single out other answers for being incorrect, especially if you don't offer the other poster a chance to improve or retract his answer by leaving a comment. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 13:23 | comment | added | Luaan | Do you have any idea how many world possibilities there actually are? Does the procedural generation actually have an entropy of 64 bits, or is it closer to say 32 bits? | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 11:48 | comment | added | ratchet freak | @colorfusion then they must have changed RNG since I last checked | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 11:45 | comment | added | SirBenet | @ratchetfreak The seed shown in the image was randomly generated, and is outside the range of a 48 bit number. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 11:43 | comment | added | SirBenet | @Lilienthal The edit shows that the range of seeds is (at least) 2^64, enforcing my answer. I think it is very useful to know when an answer is correct. | |
| Jul 14, 2015 at 11:24 | comment | added | Lilienthal | Your edit doesn't add anything useful to your answer. Please revert it and add it as a comment on the answer you believe to be incorrect. | |
