# Setting The Seed

### Step 1: Access Your Server Settings

1. Log in to the **Ridgeline Servers Control Panel** at [https://panel.ridgelineservers.com/](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.
