How to Create Worlds From Seeds on Minecraft
How to Create Worlds From Seeds on Minecraft
Ever wonder how Minecraft is able to generate such massive, detailed worlds seemingly at random? The answer is simple: seeds. Simply put, the game is able to take letter and number combinations, convert them to a data value, and use this value to build an entire game world. This means that there are essentially an endless number of worlds to play in.[1]

Things You Should Know
  • On a computer, click "Create New World" in the "Single Player” menu. Hit "More World Options,” type in any set of numbers or letters, then click “Create New World.”
  • In PE, click "Play," "New,” and then “Advanced.” Type any combination of letters or numbers then click “Create World!”
  • On a console, hit "Play Game" and “Create New World.” Click "More Options," select the "World Options" tab, enter in letters or numbers, and click “Generate.”

Minecraft for Computer

Select "Create New World" from the "Single Player menu." Using seeds in Minecraft is easy. Start by simply opening the game, clicking "Single Player," and then clicking "Create New World." Note that these instructions are for the single-player mode. You can turn a single-player game into a multiplayer LAN game from the pause menu. However, hosting an online server is a little more complicated — see our relevant article for information about online play.

Type in a seed via the options menu. Click "More World Options..." at the bottom of the screen. At the top of the options menu, you'll see a blank text box. Type in any combination of letters and numbers here. Whatever you type in will be the "seed" that the game uses to generate your world. The text you type in doesn't have to be anything specific. For example, "123456789" is just as likely to give a good result as "Cleveland." Note that you can use negative numbers (e.g., "-10571284") as well.

Start your game. Adjust the rest of the game settings however you please and click "Create New World" in the bottom left. Your game world will begin to load. When the game starts, you will spawn in the world generated from the seed you supplied. Enjoy your game! Note that, at any time, you can use the "/seed" command in the console to see the seed for the world you're currently in.

Minecraft PE

Create a new world. From the start screen, tap "Play," then tap "New" in the top right corner. This will open the standard world creation screen. Take the opportunity to select the game mode you want to play now so you don't have to bother with it later.

Enter a seed in the "Advanced" menu. Tap the "Advanced" button in the top right corner. This will bring you to a screen with an empty text box labeled "seed." Type any combination of letters and numbers into this box.

Start your game. When you're ready, tap the "Create World!" button. The game will use the seed you supplied to create the world you spawn in. For more information, see How to Use Seeds in Minecraft PE.

Minecraft for Consoles

Create a new game world. Because their menu screens are very similar, the process for using a seed in the Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One, and PS4 versions of Minecraft is nearly identical. On the start screen, select "Play Game." On the next screen, select "Create New World." Note: You may notice a few minor discrepancies in these instructions (especially in terms of precise text on buttons) depending on which version of the game you are using. However, they should be more or less correct for all consoles.

Enter a seed in the options menu. On the world creation screen, select the "More Options" button. Under the "World Options" tab, select the blank text box labeled "Seed for the World Generator." Enter any combination of letters and numbers that you wish. Press start or select "Done" when you're finished.

Start your game. Return to the world creation menu (this is the one where you can enter the world's name at the top.) Select the "Create New World" option at the bottom. You will spawn in a new world created from your seed.
