Posted November 19, 20177 yr Hey! I was curious, what is the difference between World::rand and Random rand = new Random();? And which is better to use? Thanks!
November 19, 20177 yr World::rand is based on the seed of the save, so if you use that in e.g. world-gen, you'll get the same results every tim you generate a world. If you make a new instance of Random, it will generate different numbers everytime, even if you use the same seed. So use the World::rand for consistency among things. I stand corrected.

I always thought that World::rand was tied to the seed, and I never bothered to look into it as it would make sense. And I also just looked, and the Random used for world generation is a completely different one, which is made from the seed. Don't PM me with questions. They will be ignored!
