What would I need to know in order to find a world seed from 1.16?
To give a bit of context, back in quarentine me and my friends used to play on a Minecraft server and due to some issues we ended up losing the world since we made no backups. Now I'm wondering if there's any way I can find the seed since I saw reverse seed searching is possible however I'm unsure if I have enough information to do it.
To add further clarity, I know the following:
- The world was originally made back in 1.16.
- The spawn area was a relatively small plains biome (more or less 7x7 chunk area) that blended into a swamp (5x5 chunk area) to the west, a very small Dark Forest up north (2x2 chunk), a big birch forest down south (bigger than 8x8 chunk area) and a shallow beach (6x6 chunk area) to the east.
- The closest structure relative to spawn was a pillager outpost which was inside a Taiga forest ~400 blocks away (looking north west from spawn).
- The second closest strucure was a Taiga village which was ~500 block away from the outpost (looking south west from the pillager outpost).
- The closest stronghold to spawn was ~2500 blocks away and was extremely small. To be specific all it had were two chests, at most 5 empty rooms, the portal room and tunnels connecting it all together.
- I do have some photos of the server but since I played on an old family computer I didn't have clouds on so I'm unsure if they're useful since most of the photos are just my builds or my friends'.
- Opening a portal at spawn would drop the player very near the border of a basalt delta and a nether wastes biome (the border itself was about 50 blocks away).
- Relative to spawn (in the nether), there was a Nether foretress ~300 blocks away which was solely in a basalt delta and much like the stronghold, was pretty small for a foretress.
So with all that in mind, would that information at least give me a head start in looking for my world seed or would I need different information about the world?
