The infamous video game "Minecraft" is known for its vast worlds and unlimited possibilities of how to play. One of the largest factors in your gaming experience is the world you spawn into. In "Minecraft," there are multiple biomes that the player can spawn, each having its own various effects on how you can start off. Throughout "Minecraft’s" lifetime, there have been many famous world designs or “seeds” as they are called in the game.


One of the most desired seeds to find is the world of the "Minecraft" title screen. Since it is an image that every player has to see when they launch the game, many gamers have wanted to view the sight in their own "Minecraft" world. Finally after about nine years, the seed for the "Minecraft" title screen has been discovered.


The seed(s) are 2151901553968352745 or 8091867987493326313 and the location can be found at the specific coordinates X=61.48, Y=75, Z=-68.73. X is the horizontal axis, Y is the vertical axis, and Z is the distance north or south of the origin point of (0,0,0).


"Everyone should be familiar with this world," seed discoverer Tomlacko said. "It's the one that always appeared on Minecraft's main-menu (title-screen), blurred and slowly rotating around."


An infamous seed known as “Herobrine World” has also been discovered from fans.


Herobrine was "Minecraft’s" own creepypasta; a made up horror story that spread through the internet. He was very much akin to Steve, the default "Minecraft" character with a light blue shirt and blue pants that every new player starts as. However, Herobrine has piercing white eyes but nevertheless is identical to Steve. The story extends further when fans began to state that Herobrine was actually "Minecraft’s" creator Markus “Notch” Perrson's dead brother reincarnated into the game. The Herobrine creepypasta spread like a wildfire from its origin video,"Herobrine Sighting!”


The very short video does not show much, but it did not stop avid fans from finding the seed. The seed is as follows, 478868574082066804 and its specific coordinates are X=5.16 Y=71 Z=-298.53. This Herobrine scare was debunked to be a myth, where it does not actually exist in the game and found that Notch never incorporated a dead brother into the world.


“Herobrine isn't real in any way, no. I never had a brother (well, there's a half brother I never met...), and he's not in the game,” Notch tweeted.


In a successful "Minecraft" run, one would hope for a world with quick and fast access to the basic necessities such as iron, diamonds, and a stronghold (to travel to the End and finish the world). There are multiple quick "Minecraft" seeds that enable the player to find diamonds quickly, which is by far the strongest material in the "Minecraft" overworld.


A quick seed to get diamonds is -7629372319681445308, where you will be able to obtain 13 diamonds at the start of your journey, if you are willing to explore through a ravine. The ravine is located at -402 69 -134, and you will be able to find an area consisting of eight diamonds at -385 11 -95, with another closeby area with five diamonds at -372 13 -91.


However, that is not the extent of the diamonds on this seed! At a village, there is a mine in which there are more easily accessible diamonds. The entrance to this mine is at -268 42 -669. There is a patch of five more diamonds for you to mine at -261 15 -743 and two more at -271 11 -634. Additionally in this mine, there is a minecart that also contains diamonds at -293 20 -732. After following these instructions, you will be able to be rich in materials for the rest of your adventure.


“Starting my game out with a handful of diamonds is very fun sometimes,” player Dwight Campe said. “It allows me to kind of do whatever I want for a while.”

With these small adjustments to your "Minecraft" gameplay, it's possible to experience famous sights from the "Minecraft" community as well as give a small boost in power at the beginning of your adventure in a brand new world.
