Hi guys, maybe i'm wrong but i noticed that now volcanoes aren't a random spawn yet but they are like seed related.
Well so, i'm looking for a seed with a tall volcano, some hills ( preferibly a vanilla extreme hills biome) a not huge plain (not superflat, but...) area where i can build my base, and maybe a river or a small lake.
As you could see i like the view from my windows so please share with me your seeds.
Even if you have an seed without all the specs but that has some great spots please share them with me!
Thanks in advance!!!

I'm pretty sure volcanoes are also random. The seed is slightly involved, but it is no guarentee a volcano will be in the exact same spot or that it's the same type of volcano.

Why? Because I made a Creative world with the exact same seed as my survival world. They're quite similar, but when it comes to volcanoes they're very different. I've looked for over an hour for a tall volcano in that creative world, in my survival world I've found several (in the same direction, much closer to spawn). I've also seen several places with 2 volcanoes relatively close to each other in my Survival world, in my creative one I've yet to see any of those.

I'm not saying the seed isn't involved because the volcano next to spawn seems to be very similar and consistent every time, but there is enough randomness in the terrain generation that volcanoes might appear/disappear from the map, move a few hundred blocks or can be flat instead of tall.

Thank you for the reply, I tried the seed that was posted few posts back and i got the same exact configuartion, so i tought that in the new RP2 version it was seed related...
Btw do you have any good seed to share?? Thanks in advance!!

Well the seed I use is "feed the beast" (no capitals and without the ""), set to Large Biomes.

I like Meadows a lot, which are to the North of the spawn and reach as far as the eye can see thanks to the Large Biomes :D
To the North-East/East of those Meadows (depending on where you are) are Snowy/Icy mountains, at the South-West tip of those I've found 2 Volcanoes in the Meadow (X:~947 Z:~-77).
To the North/North-West of that Meadow there is an Ocean which has a Swamp if you follow the coast to the West (good for slimes and rubber trees) and a Redwood forest and Jungle if you follow the coast North. I also found a tall volcano in that Ocean at X:-472 Z:-1660 and one along the coast towards the Swamp (it's bordering some brown forest I don't know the name of xD Which is to the West of the Meadow and the Swamp lies West of that).

Those volcanoes I found only in my survival world though, in my creative one they're all flat or non existent.

It's a lot of traveling, but I like exploring a lot so that's what I do before settling down somewhere, running along the boarders of biomes and raiding any villages I come across (for food, armor, weapons, tools, pretty much everything you need to explore). Usually the first thing I do though is find some sheep to make a bed, which is probably the easiest way to make exploring a lot less risky and possible without needing good armor or tools. Boats and Oceans also are very safe and allow you to cover a lot of "ground" in very little time.
I do have to say though, the Desert is very far away, or at least the one I found (X:-1868 Z:-3336). I don't really like Deserts though and I only went there for some bees and cactus (I did mark it for future use though, should I ever need a desert for something xD).
