SeedScout

SeedScout

A Chunkbase-style seed map inside Minecraft. See the biome map for your world's seed, search for any structure, and click a result to get a waypoint with an on-screen arrow and a beam in the world.

SeedScout runs Minecraft's own world generation code instead of reimplementing it, so what the map shows is what the game actually generates.

Features

• Seed map: full biome map from the world seed, pan and zoom with three levels of detail.
• Structure icons: every vanilla overworld structure drawn on the map with its icon. Toggle types on and off; your choices are remembered.
• Search: pick a structure and a radius (2,000 to 50,000 blocks). Results are listed nearest first with coordinates and distance, and highlighted on the map.
• Waypoints: click a result or an icon to set a target. A HUD arrow shows direction and distance, and a beam marks the spot through terrain. The waypoint clears itself when you arrive. The beam can be turned off.
• Works on servers: client-side only. Enter the server's seed once and it is remembered per server.

How to use

1. Install Fabric Loader for Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric API, and drop the SeedScout jar into mods.
2. In a world, press Y (rebindable under Controls) to open the map.
3. Singleplayer reads the seed automatically. On a server, type the seed in the top field and click Apply.
4. Choose a structure and radius on the right, click Search, then click a result to set a waypoint and follow the arrow.

Limitations

• Overworld only for now.
• Structure checks are biome based, so mansions, monuments, desert and jungle temples, and trial chambers can occasionally show a spot where the game decided not to generate one.
• Servers using custom world generation data packs are not supported.

Requirements

Minecraft 1.21.11, Fabric Loader, Fabric API.
