Explore the Hololive-EN Minecraft World?

If you like Minecraft and Hololive-EN you've probably wanted to explore their server on your own at some point. However, for us mere mortals that just isn't going to happen. Not with the original server, that is. But what about a replica of their world?

Minecraft has a feature that allows spawning worlds from seeds, and using the same seed with the same Minecraft version basically produces the same world. After installing Minecraft Java Edition v1.16.3 (their starting version) and launching a new world from the Hololive-EN seed (you can find it by searching the web for "hololive minecraft seed") I got indeed spawned in the starting area indicated in this fan-made map. Walking north and east got me to the HQ area. Without any of their buildings, of course. So I went ahead and fixed that.

In 2017 I published a small Java utility for generating Solr password hashes, because I didn't like launching Solr with well-known credentials. I would've preferred doing it with just a shell script, but found myself unable to replicate the hash creation process with sha256sum.

A couple days ago user rmalchow contacted me on Github with a solution for that, which I want to share here.
