  • Notch never imagined that his game would turn so many into FBI worthy detectives
  • @Monvstar
    You know it's crazy how much seeds there is when after being super specific with the desert, grass and grass color there was still 11 million possible seeds
  • @violet1719
    I like how you directly named what each person did near the end. That was nice.
  • This looks like how historians would have to explore our data in eons.
  • @FitMC
    One step closer to pack.png!
  • @nxrbix
    That is actually so incredible how from a blurry image people found the exact place looking at colors
  • Looking at this image makes me cry of nostalgia remembering how I was playing Minecraft in those good days when I was 7
  • @alexey5139
    Notch: I'll just make random screenshot in random world Players: WE MUST FIND THIS PLACE
  • @KingOfLamps
    Love how you credit the people behind these cool stories! Really good video!
  • holy this is incredible, I played minecraft years ago and I cant believe people would put in this level of dedication to finding the seed of the minecraft front screen. this was incredible.
  • @frostars1303
    Me: But how did you actually find the title screen seed? Researchers: The grass, duh
  • @zozapex2341
    Imagine some dude just starting up minecraft and see some steves walking in his title screen
  • @inkbagz3455
    We truly do have a beautiful community don't we? The dedication is truly a gift... It makes me shed a tear everytime they manage to pull this off
  • @VoxVocisCruora
    Imagine if the title screen image world had been the altered for the pic. Imagine if Notch had broken a few dirt blocks to make it look better or it was just a test world he was messing around with and it wasn't completely natural anymore. That possibility alone makes the very idea of trying to find the exact seed nearly impossible, and honestly this team got so lucky that it wasn't the case. Mad respect.

    2011 Notch: generates random world, runs a few meters "This looks pretty. I'll take some snapshots." 2020 "WE KNOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN, WHERE YOU ARE AND WHERE YOU'RE GOING."
  • This game's community is incredible, I never imagined this was even possible.
  • @d3stany788
    Mad respect for everyone who helped this project they are all LEGENDS

    2 years later and it is still rather fasinating.
