/seed

Reveal the seed that generated your world.

Overview

What is the /seed command?

The /seed command prints the numeric seed of your current world — the value that generated every biome, structure and cave. Sharing it lets others load an identical world, and tools or seed maps can locate features ahead of time.

Knowing your seed is the first step for finding villages, strongholds or rare biomes with external seed-map tools.

When to use it: Use /seed when you want to share your world, look it up on a seed-map tool, or recreate the same world elsewhere.

Frequently asked questions

How do you find your world seed in Minecraft?
Run /seed in chat and the number appears. In Bedrock you can also see it on the world settings screen.
Can you change a world's seed?
No — the seed is fixed when the world is created. To use a new seed you have to generate a new world.
Do seeds work across Java and Bedrock?
The same seed usually produces a similar but not identical world, because the two editions generate terrain slightly differently.
