# Find a Java world seed

> Display the seed used by the active Minecraft Java Edition world.

Run `seed` in the Purpify game panel console to display the active Java world's seed.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Game panel console">
    Start the server, open the console, and enter:

    ```text theme={"dark"}
    seed
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="In Minecraft">
    Join with [operator access](/java/manage-players), open chat, and enter:

    ```text theme={"dark"}
    /seed
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

The result appears in the console or chat. Copy the complete value, including a leading minus sign when present.

<Note>
  Changing `level-seed` in `server.properties` does not rebuild terrain that already exists. Use a fresh world when you want all terrain generated from a different seed.
</Note>
