[SOLVED] where do I get Random rand for MC seed to use anywhere?

[trollworkout]

I wanna keep predictability same where can I get the Random object for minecraft?

 

I know there is one RANDOM that forge makes  but I think is private to the Block only

 

Also I wanna use it in TileEntity

World#rand

Wait, what exactly do you want to do?

 

Even if you use the world Random with a specified seed, it doesn't necessarily provide predictability in the rest of the game unless you use it only during world generation. In other words, if you use it later in the gameplay you won't know how many other things have called for random numbers.

 

If you want your own sequence of pseudo-random numbers with a controlled seed I personally would generate my own custom Random sequence.

World#rand is already initialized.  Just call nextInt on it.

 

If you want your OWN seed, then create a Random in your main mod class, if you're really super desparate, you could subscribe to the world-load event and initialize that Random to the world's seed.

 

Like...what's your use-case here?

I used World.rand as suggested works perfect ! thanks

 

int chance = worldIn.rand.nextInt(100) to get a percentage

if (chance < 20)  //20%

blah blah 1

else if (chance < 40) //20%

blah blah 2

 

works perfect thanks!
