A sophisticated, supercomputer-powered project has actually found the world seed where Minecrafts renowned Pack.png image exists, thanks to a thorough search by fans. To be accurate, a core team of 7 Minecraft fans used a number of NVIDIA DGX-2 Supercomputers to trawl the 230-some trillion possible Minecraft worlds for an exact area that only existed within a static image. The Pack.png image is perhaps the most-seen image in all of Minecraft fandom, due to the fact that its the texture pack image for the default look of Minecraft.
A world seed is a particular string of numbers that generates an unique Minecraft world, and the world in which the Pack.png screenshot was taken was not known. Previously this year, a comparable job looked for the world of Minecrafts original title screen. Unlike that project, the majority of this task was carried out utilizing supercomputers, rather than the distributed computing approach of Minecraft@Home. It was, nevertheless, the Minecraft@Home project that discovered the seed in the end, though only 5% of possible world seeds were searched with it.
Per the pack.png projects declaration on its site: “After 8 months of searching, weve lastly found the infamous pack.png seed! Turns out it was in the last 5% of seeds we searched with MC@Home (BOINC), which implies its a great thing we didnt offer up on it. If youre interested, users niraami and zombie67 were fortunate enough to be the ones whose computer systems processed the pack.png seed.”
