About this seed
Discovered by u/Shade28032006 and highlighted by PhoenixSC during the 26.2 snapshot cycle, this seed showcases Mojang's kept "surface sulfur cave" worldgen quirk. At spawn you get a circular valley where sulfur caves breach the surface inside mangrove swamp, wrapped by desert biomes — unlike normal underground sulfur caves marked only by small springs.
Community testing shows cave spiders spawning on the surface in this seed, which is extremely unusual. The layout is one of the clearest examples of low weirdness values creating surface sulfur biomes in Chaos Cubed.
Use Cubiomes or in-game exploration to map the full ring. Perfect for technical players, snapshot historians, and anyone building around the new sulfur blocks.
