Looking for help on seedfinding for chest loot

General

Hello frontcage,

I’m currently learning to do seedfinding so I can do furious cocktail ssg for fun. I’m using Cubiomes and Chunkbase to find seeds with the structures and biomes I need but I don’t know how seedfind for chest loot. Is there a way to filter for god apples in chests? If there isn’t, is there a more efficient way to check once in world has loaded? My current strategy is to teleport to coords of every rp and desert temple and fly through mineshafts looking in spectator and look manually. Any help would be appreciated.

Seedfinding for chest loot is possible, but much more difficult and computationally expensive than seedfinding for structure position. I’m not super knowledgeable on the subject but here are some resources you may find useful:
https://github.com/seedfinding - mostly Java libraries for seedfinding
https://github.com/Cubitect/cubiomes - C libraries for seedfinding
https://github.com/MaximVancompernolle/draaftseedfinding - Example usage of the Java seedfinding libraries

I could be mistaken, but to seedfind for chest loot efficiently you do practically need at least some programming experience.

Thanks for the response!

After looking at these, it’s definitely not something I can feasibly do. I don’t have the programming experience or computational power. I think what I’ll do instead is make my other conditions less restrictive so I get more seeds total, then check for god apples in a smaller radius then I was before to so I get more seeds that are playable.

The manual checking I’m doing could also be better. It seems like chunkbase isn’t accurate for dungeon locations in 1.16 due to a glitch and /locate dungeon doesn’t seem to exist. I tried to apply glowing to minecart chests in mineshafts but it didn’t work. If you know any commands to find these chests easier that would help a lot.

Edit: It turns out that the reason bt spikes are always clean on ranked is that every dungeon and chest minecart within 500 blocks of 0,0 is prevented from spawning, and it was not a glitch. I did not know that, and was using my ranked instance because I was too lazy to make a new one. The problem was fixed by making a new non-ranked 1.16.1 instance. There are actually more dungeons than the ones shown on chunkbase, and chest minecarts are much less rare than I thought lol.

if you’re trying to locate minecart chest, you could use a command like
/execute at @e[type=chest_minecart] run summon armor_stand
to summon an armor stand on every loaded chest minecart, then run
/effect give @e[type=armor_stand] glowing 99999
to give them glowing and make them pretty visible while flying around in spectator. or, you can summon the armor stands then run
/tp @p @e[type=armor_stand,sort=nearest,limit=1]
to tp yourself to the nearest armor stand, then break it when you’re done checking the chest.

for chest blocks, you can’t really use these kinds of commands cause they aren’t entities

Thanks r0khx, I think that will be great. I appreciate all the help.
