ezseedfinder 0.4.0

Fast Minecraft Java Edition seed finder with .ezsf criteria language and GUI

EZ Seed Finder

Fast, GUI-based Minecraft Java Edition seed finder with an extensive .ezsf criteria language.

Powered by cubiomes via a vendored cubiomespi-fork build for accurate structure and biome generation.

Features

• GUI — set version, structure distances, stronghold options, and spawn filters
• .ezsf files — expressive criteria syntax for complex multi-dimension searches
• Multi-threaded — uses all CPU cores for fast random/sequential scanning
• Structures — villages, temples, mansions, monuments, ruined portals, ancient cities, trial chambers, and more
• Dimensions — overworld, nether, and end criteria in one search
• Strongholds — nearest distance, under-spawn, ring selection, full stronghold (best-effort)
• Biomes — point checks, region percentages, spawn biome
• Bastions — variant filtering (treasure, housing, stables, bridge)
• Distance rules — e.g. village and ruined portal within 200 blocks of each other
• Terrain / mobs / loot — terrain heuristics, mob biome proxies, loot structure checks

Quick Start

Install from PyPI

pip install ezseedfinder
ezsf -gui                  # graphical interface (requires tkinter)
ezsf -f criteria.ezsf      # headless CLI search
ezsf --village 500 -n 10   # quick village filter

GUI requires tkinter. On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install python3-tk

Windows: pip builds a native cubiomes library during install (requires Microsoft C++ Build Tools with the “Desktop development with C++” workload). If pip selects a wheel built for another OS, it falls back to the source package and compiles locally.

Development

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e .
ezsf -gui
ezsf -f examples/speedrun.ezsf -n 5

GUI Usage

1. Pick a Minecraft version (1.12.2 – 26.2, default 26.2)
2. Set structure distances in blocks (0 = ignore)
3. Enable stronghold options if needed
4. Optionally edit the .ezsf panel for advanced criteria
5. Click Start Search — results appear in the table (double-click to copy seed)

Structure variants

Ruined portals support cubiomes variant flags plus frame/loot simulation (1.16.1+):

• giant true|false — giant portal template
• underground true|false, airpocket true|false, template 3 — placement variant
• top_missing N — obsidian holes on the top row of the portal frame (after crying-obsidian RNG)
• frame_missing N — total frame holes (optional; templates usually need 3+ blocks to complete)
• chest item <name> min N — ruined portal chest loot (obsidian, flint_and_steel, gold_ingot, etc.)

Bastions: bastion variant treasure|housing|stables|bridge within 600 of spawn

Point references

• spawn — world spawn
• origin or 0,0 — world origin
• x, z — explicit coordinates

Structures

village, desert_pyramid, jungle_temple, swamp_hut, igloo, ocean_ruin, shipwreck, monument, mansion, outpost, ruined_portal, ancient_city, treasure, mineshaft, fortress, bastion, end_city, trail_ruin, trial_chambers, and more.

Notes

• Full stronghold — cubiomes does not simulate portal room layout; EZSF uses a ring-1 proximity heuristic.
• Chest loot — ruined portal chests use the real 1.16.1 loot table (best-effort RNG). Other structures verify placement only.
• Ruined portal frame — uses extracted vanilla structure templates; crying-obsidian replacement is simulated at ~15% per block.
• Mob rules — use biome suitability as a proxy for spawn conditions.

Examples

See bundled examples (ezseedfinder/examples/ after install, or examples/ in the repo):

• ruined_portal_speedrun.ezsf — 1.16.1 portal_6 frame + chest loot speedrun
• speedrun.ezsf — 1.16.1 village + portal + stronghold + nether
• advanced.ezsf — biomes, terrain, mobs, all dimensions
