Hello everyone! 🌟 Today we bring you a super useful guide on how to set a custom seed on your Minecraft server. We know that the world​ of Minecraft is practically infinite and full of possibilities, so let's customize it to the max! 🚀

The "seeds" are values that determine which world will load in the game. 🌱 Being case-sensitive, you can create very specific worlds. Whether you get your seed from your own world with the command /seed, from a friend, or online, the possibilities are infinite. 🌌

Steps to follow:

  • Make sure your server is not running 🚫💻

  • Go to the tab "Files" and delete the "world" folder if it exists 🗂️🗑️

  • Look for the option "level-seed" (or add it if it doesn't exist) and then enter the seed you want.

Frequent problem​⚠️​: "I can't find the option 'level-seed'!" 😕

Solution✔️: If you don't see the option, simply add "level-seed=" to the file and then write your seed after it.

  • Go to the console tab, start the server, and wait for your new world to generate using your new seed 🌍⏳

Done! Now we have our world with the new seed!​🌎​🌱

Frequent problem❌​: "The world isn't generating with the new seed." 😫

Solution✔️: Make sure you've saved the server.properties file correctly. If the problem persists, try restarting the server and verify the seed is written correctly without extra spaces.

And that's it, friends! Now you should have a completely new and customized Minecraft world ready to explore. 🧭✨
