I am trying to make a mini-game server and I need the world seed so I can find a map of it to put the domination control points for a mini-game.

The map item on the XBox 360 version of Minecraft works similar to the PC version, with three main differences:
XBox version gives you a free map at the beginning of the game. In the PC version, you must gather the necessary resources to craft a map item.
The PC version world size is (essentially) unlimited. The entire world in the XBox version is
less than 1024 x 1024only 864 x 864. The PC version of the map extends to the edges of the paper, the XBox version has wider "margins":Every map crafted on the PC version is different; it covers a 1024x1024 area centered where the map was originally crafted. All crafted maps in the XBox cover the entire 864 x 864 world, centered at (x=0, z=0). In fact, each crafted map in the XBox version is an exact copy of your original map, including all mapped areas. Even if you throw your map in lava or lose it after respawning, any new map you craft will be populated with all areas you'd previously mapped.
Regarding the other questions:
How many game blocks make up a map pixel?
8 game blocks per map pixel.How big is the map/world?
Now that the update has been released, we can confirm that the world is 864 x 864 (although you cannot mine or place anything in the outermost block, making it effectively 862 x 862). That makes the map 108 x 108 pixels.What does each color represent?
Each pixel has a primary color based on what material is most represented in the 8x8 blocks (as visible from above). Most should be obvious (snow, ice, water, sand, grass, trees), but see the chart on this page for the materials that correspond to each base color. This base color is then shaded based on terrain elevation.How is it oriented?
There are two conflicting evidences for orientation: if we assume that the top of the map is North, then the Sun on the XBox version actually rises in the North and sets in the South (in the PC version this was fixed in beta 1.9.4). Alternately, you could say that the Sun behaves properly (rises in the East and sets in the West), and that you are holding the map so that North is on the left (but this would be an unusual way to hold a map). As such, any discussions that use cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) should clarify which they mean.Is there any way to determine an approximate map location from (X, Z) coordinates?
Since the game update was release on June 15, 2012, the map shows the coordinates of your current location. Here's a brief explanation:- The center of map is (x=0, z=0) (the crosshairs are slightly below that point, don't use the crosshairs to determine the center point).
- Unlike normal integers, there is both a +0 and a -0.
- X coordinate is left-right on the map: right is positive, left is negative.
- Y coordinate is depth/height: 0 is the bottom-most bedrock layer.
- Z coordinate is up-down on the map: down is positive, up is negative
- Since the xbox map/world is only 864 x 864, that means that the max reachable coordinates are only +/- 432. In addition, the edge of the XBox world nearly always ends in the ocean (see map image above), so I suspect that some of these furthest outside blocks may not match those same locations in the PC map.
Here is how maps work in multiplayer:
- Each player has their own, independently drawn map.
- If a player crafts a map, it becomes a copy of their own original map.
- You can "share" map contents with another player by giving them your map and having them view it. Both player's maps will update with all visited areas.
The full changelog is listed on Mojang's website (copied below).
The line you mention, "Added a few other things for players to discover," is in the Tutorial World section. Therefore I suspect it just means they added some cool touches to the tutorial world to demonstrate the use of new items (pistons, stacked fences, etc), to add to its charm. They may have added some little easter eggs to this world too, but I can't say for sure.

When you launch Minecraft you should be able to find this by clicking on Play Game, this will then take you to the listing of maps that you have save.
If you select the world you want to use you it should bring up a little detailed tab as below. Then there should be a Seed: - section that you can get it from.
