Using a Custom Seed on Your Minecraft Server

Custom seeds allow you to control the world generation of your Minecraft server, creating unique landscapes or replicating specific worlds. This guide will walk you through how to set a custom seed for your server.

Setting The Seed

Step 1: Access Your Server Settings

  1. Log in to the Ridgeline Servers Control Panel at https://panel.ridgelineservers.com/.
  2. Navigate to the Files section in the control panel.
  3. Open the server.properties file.

Step 2: Configure the Custom Seed

  1. Locate the level-seed line in the server.properties file. If it doesn't exist, add the following line: 
    level-seed=
  2. Paste your custom seed number after the = sign. For example: 
    level-seed=1234567890
  3. Save the changes to the server.properties file.

Step 3: Reset the World (If Necessary)

If your server already has a generated world, the changes to the seed will only apply to newly generated worlds. To use the custom seed:

  1. Stop your server from the Control Panel.
  2. Delete the current world folder(s), usually named world, world_nether, and world_the_end.
  3. Restart the server to generate a new world using your custom seed.

Step 4: Verify the Seed

  1. Once the server restarts, join the server.
  2. Type /seed in the chat (requires operator permissions) to confirm the seed matches your custom input.
