Question about Ultimate pack seed mechanics

[robbversion1]

I've been testing out world generation in the ultimate pack and noticed something weird. When using the same exact seed in both SSP and SMP I get 2 different worlds. I would create a world in SSP with a specific seed and then try the seed out on my server and it looks completely different.

I'm guessing with Extra Biomes the biomes that are generated are random which would explain the different worlds.

Wondering if anyone has a little more insight on the topic?

Um, well you would spawn in 2 different places so that might be it.

I tested that out by going to the same exact coords. i'll post screens in a sec

 

[robbversion1]

ok heres the screens. They're from the same exact coords
SSP

SMP

Well that is peculiar. Sorry I can't help. I don't know what that's all about.

Is the server yours? If not, the owner might have changed something in the settings.

it looks like the biomes are not the same, but the biome borders are.

I would definitely look into the Extra biomes config to see if the exact same biomes are enabled.

/facepalm yup that was the issue. I checked the SSP extra biomes and a bunch of them were disabled. This is weird since I downloaded ultimate last month and didnt touch configs at all. I guess next time I shouldnt assume they'd be the same lol

I belive the default Ultimate disabled some of the more lag heavy tree biomes. Im not near my PC so I can not confrim this.
