How Seeds Work
A seed is a number that determines how the world generates. The same seed always produces the same world on the same edition and version. You can enter seeds when creating a new world to get a specific layout.
Important: Java and Bedrock editions generate different worlds from the same seed number. Seeds below are labelled with the edition they were tested on.
