Chunk seed derivation: Large world seeds are not reduced · case 02
Seeds above 32 bits produce different chunk ids than the save format stores.
Case contract
Coordinates are zigzag encoded (v >= 0 -> 2v, v < 0 -> -2v-1). seed = (world_seed*1000003 mod 2^32) xor (zz(cx)*73856093 mod 2^32) xor (zz(cy)*19349663 mod 2^32). The generator state is seed, or 1 when seed is 0, advanced by three 32-bit xorshift rounds (<<13, >>17, <<5, each left shift masked to 32 bits). Returns [seed, state % 100].
Why this case matters
Procedural generators silently emit unplayable or unfair levels when a single constraint check uses the wrong boundary, axis, neighborhood or update order; the defect is visible in exact generated geometry.
