How to Change the World Seed on a Hytale Server

The world seed determines how the world is generated. Using the same seed will always produce the same world - identical landscapes, mountains, and structures at the same coordinates.

How to Show the Current Seed

Enter the following command in the console of your dashboard:

world config seed --world <worldname>

The console responds with something like Seed: 1790539101340. The world the server creates on its first start is called default.

How to Change the World Seed

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

2. Open the World Configuration
   Connect to your server via SFTP and navigate to the folder /universe/worlds/<worldname>/ (for the default world /universe/worlds/default/). Open the config.json file.

3. Adjust the Seed
   Find the Seed setting and change the value:

   "Seed": 123456789
   

   You can use any whole number as a seed.

4. Delete World Data
   Delete the chunks folder in the same directory (/universe/worlds/<worldname>/chunks/) so the world is regenerated with the new seed.

5. Start the Server
   Start your server to regenerate the world.
