Use a world seed on a Bedrock server

Use a world seed on a Bedrock server

Minecraft Bedrock · Updated 27 October 2026

A seed is only used when a brand new world is made. So you set the seed, give the world a new name, and the server makes it for you.

Make a world from a seed

  1. Stop your server.
  2. Open Properties, and search for level-seed. Paste your seed, then click Save.
  3. Open Startup. Under Choose World, type a new name for your world, like seed world.
  4. Start your server. It creates your new world from the seed.

Your old world isn't deleted, so you can switch back to it any time.

Go back to your old world

Change Choose World in Startup back to its name, and restart your server.
