How to Change the World Seed on Your Minecraft Bedrock Edition Server

The world seed determines how the world is generated. It only affects newly generated worlds — so you have to delete your existing world first.

Attention

Your current world will be lost permanently. Create a backup beforehand if you still need it later.

1. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

2. Open the file browser
   Open the file browser or connect to your server via SFTP.

3. Set the seed
   Open the file server.properties, find the entry level-seed= and enter the desired seed:

   level-seed=1111132940

   Then save the file.

4. Delete the old world
   Go to the worlds folder and delete the Bedrock level folder there. Without this step the server simply keeps loading your old world and the new seed has no effect.

   Note

   If you set a custom world name under level-name in the server.properties, the folder is named accordingly.

5. Start the server
   Start your server. The world is now generated using your new seed.

Tip

You can find out the seed of an existing world by entering the command /seed in the game. If you leave level-seed= empty, the server generates a random seed.
