How to Use a Custom Seed on Your Minecraft Server

If you want a specific world or seed on your Minecraft server, you can easily set this up in the control panel. This guide shows you how.

What is a Seed?

A seed is a value that Minecraft uses to generate the world. If you use the same seed again, you get exactly the same world.

Set Up a Custom Seed

Step by step:

1. Stop your server from the control panel.
2. Go to the "Files" tab and open the file server.properties.
3. Find the line:

seed=

4. Enter your desired seed after seed=. Example:

seed=-382189602

5. Save your changes in the file.
6. Delete your current world by removing the folders:

world
world_nether
world_the_end

7. Start the server again. Your server now generates a new world based on your chosen seed.

How do I find a seed?

• You can find seeds online on sites like Minecraft Seeds or Chunkbase.
• You can also use the /seed command inside Minecraft to find the seed of an existing world.

Important Notes

• Changing the seed requires a complete restart and deletion of your current world.
• Remember to back up existing worlds before the change if you want to keep them.
• Seeds work across both singleplayer and multiplayer.
