Cubiomes is a standalone library, written in C, that mimics the Minecraft biome and feature generation. It is intended as a powerful tool to devise very fast, custom seed finding applications and large scale map viewers.
You should be familiar with the C programming language, also a basic understanding of the Minecraft biome generation process would be helpful. A POSIX environment is required to compile the finders library and examples, but the core generator library may also work on other platforms.
There is a reference document for the generator layers which contains a summary for most generator layers and their function within the generation process.
There are two example programs in this repository which can be compiled using the makefile provided.
This classic type of finder uses several optimisations reguarding positioning of temples in the world. One of which allows you to specify the exact region (512x512) position about which the quad-hut should generate, without affecting the performance. For example:
./find_quadhut 0 0
will start a search with a regional positioning around the origin. (Actually the huts will be positioned in regions (-1,-1) to (0,0) this way.)
To my knowlege, as of the time of writing, this is fastest single-thread quad-hut-finder out there. However, note that the current implementation of the biome finding optimisations causes the finder to miss some seeds (< 2%) in favour for speed.
This finder searches for seeds that contain all major biome types within 1024 blocks of the origin. These seeds are very rare and it might take a moment for the finder to yield any. The commandline arguments are:
./find_compactbiomes [starting_seed] [end_seed] [threads]
Below is a list of some very rare seeds that have all the interesing biomes in very close proximity to the origin, offering some unique scenery. TIP: If you are creating a new world you can use the Custom World Generation setting to reduce the biome size by a factor of up to 4, which puts all the biomes even closer together.

No more than four huts can generate close enough together to be operated by a single player. However, if you have a server, or you just want multiple witch farms in your world, then you can consider seeds with more than one multi-hut.
For seeds that have a quad-hut with 2 additional tri-huts, I present to you (possibly all) seeds that have the multi-huts in the closest proximity to spawn. These seeds have one quad-hut and 2 tri-huts within 40000 blocks.

If you are looking to get the "Adventuring Time" achievment you might consider one of the following seeds. All of these seeds have all 36 required biomes within less than 650 blocks from the origin:
