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 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,
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.
