The world seed determines how the world is generated. It only affects newly generated worlds – so you have to delete your existing world first.

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

  2. Open the file browser
    Open the file browser or connect to your server via SFTP.

  3. Set the seed
    Open the file server.properties, find the entry level-seed= and enter the desired seed:

    level-seed=1111132940
    

    Then save the file.

  4. Delete the old world
    Go to the worlds folder and delete the Bedrock level folder there. Without this step the server simply keeps loading your old world and the new seed has no effect.

  5. Start the server
    Start your server. The world is now generated using your new seed.
