[MC-217302] A Glitched World

A glitched biome, two 3/4 of a glitched mountain (usually high), and a floating ruined portal (about 100 blocks in the air). Also just to let you know when my friend joined two of him showed up. It was weird.

Please provide the seed and coordinates.

Daniel Lu 2021-02-28T15:20:05Z

The seed is 0, the last picture shows it. Also when I logged on today to get the coordinates, I'm in a way different place, so I can't get the coordinates.

Seems like MC-161823.

@Daniel Lu Theretical 0, or absolute 0? There is a difference based on seed entry. Putting in 0 would just give a random seed whereas putting in the correct translated string would be absolute 0.

@Etaanarvazac Taseet I just loaded up a random world, and I got the seed 0. I don't know how that happened. THis is the first time it happened in about 3 years. I really don't know what to say.

Huh. Maybe since it's discovery, Mojang added it to the random seed generator instead of it being avoided

@Daniel Lu
While it is 'possible' to get the seed "0" randomly, it is statistically impossible(1 in 2^48 without using the birthday paradox). I'm one of the co-founders of Minecraft@Home and I frequently see users claiming to have generated the seed "0" randomly which just doesn't happen. The chunk errors in your screenshots are from updating the world to a newer version, not because it's the seed "0". Everything here is working as intended with the world generation, you just updated it to a newer version/plugins. If I have some time later tonight I can grab the coordinates from the screenshots but I don't think it is necessary since this is not a bug.

Saying it is statistically impossible to get seed 0 only means you can't expect it to be picked randomly. In theory, it is statistically impossible to get any single seed, but obviously we do get seeds. So it is not necessarily impossible to get seed 0. I would say it is obviously very unlikely, maybe the reporter just forgot they picked it or something, who knows, or maybe the game has "forgotten" its seed or something weird happened and reset it to zero.

I was saying it is statistically impossible because of the entire post. Seed 0 has been talked about for many years and it ranks up there with things like "Herobrine" and other things people use for clickbait. People have been claiming to get seed 0 randomly for years and they claim "Everything is corrupted", "Random things are happening" and a few other things. The chance to get any random seed is the same(2^48 w/o birthday paradox) but the amount of people to claim to have generated seed 0 is higher than it should be. I made my previous comment in case this bug report was about "Seed 0 generated randomly and it caused a second copy of my friend to appear in my game". Looking at the chunks, it appears to be either an upgrade or a seed change that caused this to occur(Changing seed to 0 after chunks have been generated)

Did you ever use any mods or third-party tools with that world? Perhaps one of them set the world seed to 0.

Edit: Also, in which versions did you play the world (and in which order)?

Daniel Lu 2021-03-03T21:43:04Z

Ok sorry for the wait, but I can prove you all wrong.

First of all, I was not using any mods, I selected Latest Version 1.16.5. The seed was also random I did not put 0 in the seed input, and even if i did, it would just generate a random seed because 0 is null.

Daniel Lu 2021-03-03T21:48:31Z

Also this is not resolved.

I'm also from the MC@H community. Basically, it seems like your world's seed was changed during playthrough - possibly a corruption caused by an unexpected shutdown or crash while it was saving the data? -.
If you want your original seed back instead of seed 0, please provide the region files for your save and we'll try recovering it for you. The process itself shouldn't take more than a few minutes if you still have the save files.

MC 2021-03-11T05:28:14Z

I have confirmation that the image "2021-02-27_22.44.59.png" has been generated using seed 0 (left side, beach) and another seed (right side), possibly the original. Coords are 73 69 78 for the player.

Please check if that's still an issue for you in the latest 1.17.1 stable release or the latest 1.18 development snapshot.
