Technical Details

Seed Number: -1698 7413
Version: XBL 1.4 (TU9) (no PC equiv)

Etymology

A myograph is any machine that is used to measure the electrical activity of a contracting muscle. This is most often applied to the heart, but sports trainers and scientists use other types of myographs to measure muscle endurance in athletes.

Notes

I want to be perfectly clear here: there are zero trees in this seed. In fact, the seed spawned me at the bottom of the ocean. Had I been in survival mode, I would have drown repeatedly and have had to close the game down.

This seed -- as it has no trees -- is impossible to play since you cannot make any pickaxes or anything wood related. So, I'm not telling you not to play this; I'm telling you... this seed CAN'T be played. I'm only posting it here as a warning to all other humans who might thing this name is quirky and want to give it a shot. This is why you should always double-check your seed names before you play; you never know what horror you'll unleash on yourself.

BTW, only the second nightmare seed, ever.

TU9 Seed & Map: mjolnir

Technical Details

Seed Number: 109 418 0765
Version: XBL 1.4 (TU9) (no PC equiv)

Etymology

In Norse mythology, the god Thor carries a hammer -- named Mjolnir. The spelling of the name varies from source to source as the original has special characters not supported by my keyboard. And don't give me grief if you play DotA 2 -- they misspelled it on purpose.

Notes

I am not a lawyer and nothing that I say here should be misconstrued as legal advice.

This is the hardest level I've seen to date. It's the primary ingredient in all known recipes for a night terror. Looking upon the face of the land may be a criminal action in some countries. You should check the statutes in your jurisdiction before playing.

Ironically, finding the ender portal was not a problem, as it's floating in the middle of the ocean. You can find it in seconds; it's clearly visible during the day.

Congratulations, instant ender portal. Now try finding something else. Anything else. Exactly. This seed is so heinous, I've decided to add a new rating classification: this seed is the first to be ranked nightmare.

Villages

  • None

Underground

  • [278.38.32] dungeon, skeleton, x2 chests, gunpowder, x4 red stone
  • [-430.15.-309] medium ravine with lava floor
  • [-393.13.-303] x6 gold
  • [-352.29.169] underground ravine, x6 gold
  • [-225.25.304] x10 gold, medium cavern

Above Ground

  • [-50.55.-134] dive down for submerged ender portal, x1 eye
  • [-356.89.-400] mushroom island #1
  • [-105.83.396] mushroom island #2
  • [369.80.366] mushroom island #3
  • [166.82.-146] mushroom island #4
  • [13.64.-61] your only shot: dig down to Y=32, then due north 11 paces and no more for ravine/cave super complex. Beware, this will bring you in above the lava -- don't fall off the ledge and pray to James Lipton you don't attract any bad guys.
