Okay, so I've (Sorta) been running a few tests and while Minecraft maps seem to be entirely random, I sent a "world" to a friend of mine and the "randomly generated" terrain seems to have remained the same. (Right down to minerals located underground.)
The Project is a simple expansion on that, more people = more chances for things to be different.
What you need:
Minecraft Alpha
The Cartographer
The Project (7zip required to unpack)
An Empty World 2 slot. (It's possible to back up worlds, see the readme.)
If you don't wish to participate, you need not read any further. If you do, here's the details.
Your spawn location, weapons, tools, and supplies are all the same. I want you to explore this world and map it out, reporting in weekly to see if the maps do indeed change. The reason, some of us may explore further in one day than others. Make sure to mark locations and the spawn.
Here is the map as of 8-08-2011 at 5:00 PM EST
Readme:
Starting Equipment:
Stone Sword, Stone Pickax, Stone Shovel, Stone Hoe, Stone Axe, 32 Coal, 32 Seed, Bucket, 2 Boats (One Placed at Dock), 6 Units of Bread
Starting Location:
Alpha Outpost (You will respawn inside it)
How to back up the World 2 Slot
Navigate to <Username>/appdata/roaming/.minecraft/saves
locate the "World2" folder
Move it someplace else. (You will need to move it back to use it)
How to install the World2 from The Project
Navigate to <Username>/appdata/roaming/.minecraft/saves
extract The_Project.7z to the saves folder
EDIT: Forgot to tell you how to post the map -.=.-
Open the Cartographer, select the option called "Oblique" then hit "Generate" there should be a PNG in the same folder as the Cartographer)
[move]Load the game, and get out there and explore! [/move]
