Before anything, we need to agree to some notations since those will be used later on.

Let’s rule out a few stuffs first:

• The Java Random class use a 48 bit LCG which mean any number inputted inside will be constrained to 48 bits number (also known as modulo (2^48)-1).
• The only place where the full 64 bits size of a long is used in the Biome QLCG.
• When using a string seed you can only hit the 2^32 range.
• When using a random seed you can only hit the 48 bit range and only 82% of it see that
