Nine years after it first appeared at the bottom of the game’s main menu screen, some players from Minecraft they think they finally found exactly the same world in the game.
Some members of the Minecraft @ Home team They made the discovery over the weekend, using the volunteers’ idle computers to help reduce the numbers in the name of the research. Finding this world was just one of a series of projects they are researching; Another is to find the tallest cactus in the game, currently standing at 22 blocks, and using so many PCs it took 93 days of processing time to process up to 24 hours of work.
—So, having decided to start searching on July 14, Saturday morning, July 18, 2020, they were pretty sure they had found it.
I always assumed it was part of the title art, something Mojang created as if it were part of the costumes, but of course it would have been much easier to just take a picture of an existing world.
The world can be found here if you want to see for yourself:
Version: Beta 1.7.3
Coordinates: X = 61.48 ~, Y = 75, Z = -68.73 ~
Seed: 2151901553968352745 O 8091867987493326313
I should add that while the blurred background image was added to the game’s title screen in 2011, it was recently removed from it.
