Using a custom world seed in Minecraft allows you to generate a specific kind of world. This guide will walk you through setting a custom seed for your Minecraft server using the Game Panel.
What is a World Seed?
A world seed is a string of numbers and letters that Minecraft uses to generate a world. Each seed creates a unique world layout including biomes, structures, and spawn points.
Setting a Custom World Seed via Game Panel
Step 1: Access Your Server
-
Log in to the Game Panel and select the Minecraft server you wish to modify.
Step 2: Stop Your Server
-
It’s important to stop your server before changing any settings to prevent corruption or errors. Use the control options in the panel to stop the server.
Step 3: Locate Server Properties
-
In the Game Panel, navigate to the 'File Management' section.
-
Find and open the
server.propertiesfile for editing.
Step 4: Set the World Seed
-
In the
server.propertiesfile, look for a line that sayslevel-seed=. -
Enter your desired seed next to
level-seed=. For example,level-seed=123456789. -
If you want to generate a new world with this seed, change the
level-name=to a new name. This will create a new world folder with the specified seed. -
Save your changes.
Step 5: Restart Your Server
-
After setting the seed and saving the
server.propertiesfile, restart your server to apply the changes.
Conclusion
Setting a custom world seed on your Minecraft server can create a unique and tailored experience for players. By following these steps in the Game Panel, you can easily configure your server to generate the specific world you desire.
