MINECRAFT HOSTING 
HYTALE HOSTING This guide will help you change the world seed on your Terraria server. Seeds determine exactly how your world generates, allowing you to share specific world layouts with friends, replay famous maps, or enable wild secret world modifiers!
Important Warning: Changing a world seed requires the generation of a completely new world! If you want to keep your current world, be sure to back it up before proceeding.
Changing the World Seed
To apply a new seed, you will need to edit your server's configuration file and then tell the server to generate a new world name so it doesn't load your old save.
- Log in to your MintServers Game Panel.
- Stop your Terraria server.
- Go to the Files in the left sidebar and click on
config.txtto edit it. - Find the
seedsetting, change it to the exact seed you want to use, and click Save Content. - Next, go to Game Settings in the left sidebar.
- Under the Basic section, change your World Name to something new. This forces the server to generate a fresh world instead of loading the old one.
- Go to your Console and click Start to generate your new world!
Here is a quick reference for finding these settings in your panel:
Navigation Path - Setting the Seed:
Files > config.txt
Navigation Path - Forcing New Generation:
Game Settings > World Name

Secret World Seeds (1.4.5+)
Terraria 1.4.5 introduced a massive list of highly specific secret seeds (such as arachnophobia to remove spiders, or winter is coming to freeze the world). However, these seeds require exact World Size and Difficulty matches to generate properly.
💡 Pro Tip for Secret Seeds: Because dedicated servers can sometimes conflict with complex secret seed generation, we highly recommend generating the world using the seed in Singleplayer first, and then uploading that generated world save directly to your MintServers panel.
