View source for Map-Database

This is a collection of seed-value, descriptions and notable places
: eg. flat areas suitable for villages/towns, 
: small mountains for building castles,
: hills, rivers, oceans, wood/jungle, mountains, scenic landscapes ...
for the different [[mapgen|map-generators]]:

** [[Map-Database_v5]]   - mapgen v5
** [[Map-Database_v6]]   - mapgen v6
** [[Map-Database_v7]]   - mapgen v7

** [[Map-Database_flat]]    - mapgen flat
** [[Map-Database_fractal]] - mapgen fractals 
: needs an explanation how to get the different types of fractals
** [[Map-Database_valleys]] - mapgen valleys

Currently, the main focus is on the default spawn-area of a map,<br />
and a nearby location suitable for starting a game.

Scenic views, nice caves, and spots for climbing mountains would also qualify.

===Method===
* In singleplayer:
* Create a new game: select mapgen and seed-value, using the minetest-game
* Start the game (don't select any mods that influence the generation of the map)
: also, keep the standard values for biomes (as found in the regular download of minetest 0.4.16)
* Note the position where the player spawns, and features of landscape
* Commands:
** /grantme all
** /sethome
** /time 5:0
** R  - set maximum viewing range
** F9 - set minimap
* Fly around to find some interesting, different spots, note position&features as before.
: look for stuff a starting player would need, eg. wood, stone, coal, etc.
