I've noticed facepunch doesn't have one, so I've decided to open a seed sharing megathread. Now- here's a little info for those who don't understand what seeds are.

Seeds are generation codes that are used to create specific minecraft terrains or structures. Normally, the terrain is randomly generated upon starting up Minecraft games. But, sometimes when games are started, there may be a mountain range or structure that catches the interest of the player, so he/she may decide to share it. "How?" you may ask? Using seeds. Upon pressing F3, the seed for your map is displayed on screen. You can use this code to generate the same terrain whenever you start a new map.
A common misconception is that seeds will generate the current map- whether it is something you added, or you just happened to sit there for a few hours until you saw a cow do something amazing. However, this is not true. Seeds will only generate the map the way it was when you first started it. You can't save it the way you have changed it. For example, If you started the map with a huge mountain, and blew it up with TNT. When you put in the seed for to start it again, the mountain will still be there-unchanged.

I encourage you to share, find, and explore new seeds on this thread.
Thanks.
We have a thread for this, and majority of the users in this subforum know how to get the seed of a map.
Oh...Well...Time to hide in a corner and wait for the "dumb" ratings to come in... T_T

Is it possible to delete a thread?
I was so excited when I thought I saw we had a sheep shearing megathread, but oh well.
