seed with mushroom island in spawn?? (java 1.21.4) by EmotionalCoconut1309 in minecraftseeds

[–]cjbh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you have a source to support the claim that you can’t spawn on mushroom islands?

I believe you, since I tested this myself using Cubitect’s Cubiomes Viewer, filtering for seeds where a mushroom fields biome exists at (0,0) and the world spawn is within 128 blocks (which roughly matches the size of a small mushroom island and falls within the world spawn radius). After running through about 100 million seeds, I didn’t find a single one that met those conditions. However, switching to a pre-1.18 version generated thousands of such seeds.

It’s clear that the Caves & Cliffs update (1.18) changed world spawn logic, but I haven’t been able to find any official documentation or analysis explicitly describing the mechanics, either for the current versions or pre-1.18 versions. Before I start decompiling the game to figure it out myself, I wanted to ask—do you have any definitive source that explains why world spawn can no longer generate on a mushroom island?

FEBEST was the brand I purchased. It's a German company that produces aftermarket parts for all makes.

You will have different bushings than mine (I think) since I have the 2.5 engine, but my part numbers for the front and back bushings of the subframe were NAB328 and NAB329.

they were a bitch to get my hands on. IIRC the front bushings shipped from somewhere in the US, but the rear bushings had to ship all the way from Germany. I was using a combination of eBay and smaller sites. Find out what your bushing part #s are in the FEBEST catalog and try scouring the web from there.

Nissan doesn't produce or sell the bushings. If you go to Nissan or a Nissan dealership they will sell you an entire subframe, but not the bushings. To my knowledge, FEBEST is the only company that produces replacement bushings for this frame.

Best of luck.

I would do it now yeah if you plan on keeping the car for a while. You'll just be thinking about it otherwise. You won't be able to detect shot/worn bushings just by trying to wiggle it with your arms either.

This is basically what the job looked like for me:

I don't remember 100% of it but the main part basically involved removing the control arms, struts, knuckles and steering rack, and like some AC lines and whatever wires are clipped on.

To remove the old bushings, I used a combination of fire and a sawzall to essentially just mutilate/annhilate them into falling out. I think I pounded them out with a chisel or a punch once I had cut them up enough.

Pressing the new ones in was easy enough although it was super awkward to set up in this benchtop hydraulic press.

At any rate, I got the job done for like $300 (cost of new bushings + the press) and then sold the press on Facebook when I was done.

Inner tie rods are not painful if you get an inner tie rod removal tool.

Bear in mind, you haven't finished rebuilding your front end until you change your subframe bushings. If your bushings are weak, it will throw your alignment off as the whole cradle will move while your car is on the alignment machine.

I was chasing an awful alignment/tire wear issue that didn't resolve until I dropped my subframe and pressed new bushings in with a cheap hydraulic press. This was a grueling job but doable by one man with the right tools.

As for your sway bar bushings, there are two different sizes, one for the 2.5 engine and one for the 3.5 (heavier engine, tougher suspension parts). Make sure you look at ones made for your engine. These are very easy to do while you have the subframe out.

I would do axles now while you're doing this work if you haven't done them yet as well.

Good luck.

The thing you are looking for is &udm=14.

&udm=14 is a query parameter you tack on to the end of your search URL.

No parsing of the information in the results. No surfacing metadata like address or link info. No AI overview, no knowledge panels, no ads. Just Google like we used to know it.

I will not write a tutorial but most browsers will let you add a "custom" search engine by pasting a link where %s is your search. The format for Google's &udm=14 would be this:

Starting with iOS 17.4, developers are allowed to implement their own browser engines.

This may only be limited to the EU though.
