So idk if any of you know of the Minecraft program’s, amidsts or MCA Selector. Two programs I absolutely enjoy using for my worlds, plus, their Free Open Source Software.

Anyways, there my story…

So I’ve been a Minecrafter since 2014, since the Xbox 360 days. I then switched to the Java edition of Minecraft in 2019 when I obtained my first pc on my 11th birthday. I made a server that I made for me and my friends / sister when they occasionally jump on and wanna play. In that server, we had an amazing time, building and creating memories. The seed is what’s most important here.

> Main Point

Is it possible for me to create program, preferably a GUI, that lets the user draw out the seed of what they remember. So similar to how you would draw things in krita, but more for a Minecraft top down world view. Amidst or MCA Selector POV. I’m not sure if it’s possible or if Minecraft will even allow such activity. Which I’m not sure why it wouldn’t.

Using the MC Seed API if they have such thing??

It’s just when your in a seed for more then 2 years, you get attached and just love the terrain it has.

Idk man, I just spent forever in that world seed, built amazing stuff. Regardless if I used commands, cheats etc, I just wanna find the seed again using this technique that I hope it’s possible.

Unfortunately generally no this isn't possible, just due to the nature of the insane amount of combinations Minecraft world generation allows.

Some things like end tower location can be used because there's only one per world and it allows you just to search that area (plus some other crazy nerdy math stuff that pretty much just cuts off more possibilities).

Going off of your memory alone doesn't let you narrow down that much, cause people generally don't remember the exact coordinates of specific blocks; you'd have to search through a near infinite number of near infinitely big worlds. Using a fuzzy input only worsen search, that would again have near infinite matches that you have to filter through somehow.
