Minecraft Beta Pumpkins

[ilovecookiesxD]

I heared that THere are Dungeons Under Pumpkins, and it's true :), i got there with my horse ( MOD ) And found a Dungeon.. Got more Facts?

[Robin]

Hmm exciting! I would like to put that theory to a test on the smp server :)

[PersonOne]

From what I've heard, there isn't anything official, but it is alot more common.
Horse... what mod is that? I want one :D

[Apv301]

Horse should me "mo animals"

[Robin]

There are an extremely well done mod for more animals and horses, very well done! *Can't remember the name right now*

[howlgram]

Mo's creatures

adds a literal ton of creatures to the game (kinda) :)

[PersonOne]

Hey that sounds familiar... :D
ha thought it was a different mod

[FourthShadow]

Dungeons beneath pumpkins...interesting. Any proof?

[SniperCharlie]

This was just a myth.Dungeons where made in June,way before pumpkins so this is false.:(

that doesn't mean it isn't true (although it isn't) :p
notch could have easily made it so that dungeons generated first, and then pumpkins generated above mossy cobble

[SniperCharlie]

There's many many threads and 0 evidence.People like to make things.Some say that there are diamonds,others gold,and others dungeons.Not a single proof.Happens,I give you that.But is rare.The same as you see my glitched video.What are the odds?.You want a better investigation?I give you one so we close this:

Busting the myth

Spawning of pumpkins is an independent event from spawning of other special blocks and terrains. They may have correlation but that does not imply causation or indication. It is possible to find dungeons under pumpkins, but that means nothing because it is also possible to find anything under anything with probability. This is how they are spawned.

When a chunk is to be populated, ChunkProviderGenerate.populate() is called:

ChunkProviderGenerate.java:
public void populate(IChunkProvider ichunkprovider, int i, int j)
{
...
if (rand.nextInt(4) == 0) {
...
(new WorldGenLakes(Block.waterMoving.blockID)).generate (worldObj, rand, i1, k4, k7);
}
if (rand.nextInt(8) == 0) {
...
if (l4 < 64 || rand.nextInt(10) == 0) {
(new WorldGenLakes(Block.lavaMoving.blockID)).generate( worldObj, rand, j1, l4, l7);
}
}
for(int k1 = 0; k1 < 8; k1++) {
...
(new WorldGenDungeons()).generate(worldObj, rand, i5, i8, j10);
}
for(int i2 = 0; i2 < 10; i2++) {
...
(new WorldGenClay(32)).generate(worldObj, rand, j5, j8, k10);
}
...
if (rand.nextInt(32) == 0) {
int i14 = x + rand.nextInt(16) + 8;
int i16 = rand.nextInt(128);
int l18 = z + rand.nextInt(16) + 8;
(new WorldGenPumpkin()).generate(worldObj, rand, i14, i16, l18);
}
...

This code excerpt shows that:

Different generations are independent.
And when a chunk is being populated, there is 1/32 chance of starting pumpkin generation process at a random position around the first block of this chunk.

WorldGenPumpkin.java:
public boolean generate(World world, Random random, int x, int y, int z)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
int x1 = x + random.nextInt(8) - random.nextInt(8);
int y1 = y + random.nextInt(4) - random.nextInt(4);
int z1 = z + random.nextInt(8) - random.nextInt(8);
if (world.getBlockId(x1, y1, z1) == 0 &&
world.getBlockId(x1, y1 - 1, z1) == Block.grass.blockID &&
Block.pumpkin.canPlaceBlockAt(world, x1, y1, z1)) {
world.setBlockAndMetadata(i1, j1, k1, Block.pumpkin.blockID, random.nextInt(4));
}
}

return true;
}

Try 64 times to choose a random position around the given position, if it's air and its bottom is grass and a pumpkin can be placed there, generate a pumpkin there with random direction.
The pumpkin generation process is also independent from other generation.

For your information, the probability of finding a pumpkin cluster in a chunk is 1/587.9 (1/32*1/128*((1-(1-1/16)^64)+(1-(1-2/16)^64)+(1-(1-3/16)^64)+(1-(1-4/16)^64)+(1-(1-3/16)^64)+(1-(1-2/16)^64)+(1-(1-1/16)^64))), that is, you can averagely find a pumpkin cluster in a 388x388 square.

Hope you find this satisfactory.

This is possibly the ONLY myth I ever firmly believed in minecraft, and you killed it D=

[SniperCharlie]

Sorry,was driving me mad to see people running behind this things without no proof.I prefer the Herobrine one(at least is scary).

Note:Herobrine don´t exist(dont get me started).

[firefudge]

I wonder what would happen if you made some random thing up and told everyone?

[SniperCharlie]

Offtopic:I give you an example of that:

Most minecraft players are kids and a lot of them,bored,so you don't even need to make a big effort making things up.Just say you saw santa and they are gonna flood the forums with threads.Is the way things work.Yesterday I read that one of the secret things the last beta fix,was that using a lava bucket in a furnace no longer use the bucket.Go and check it like I did.

[firefudge]

in beta 1.2 it didn't use the bucket but now it does again :P
