# Change server world seed

Changing the seed on your Minecraft server is easy. Every Minecraft world is made using a seed, which is like a secret code that helps create mountains, forests, and rivers.

## Finding the seed

You can use the "/seed" command in-game. You'll [need to be an operator](/knowledgebase/minecraft-java/make-a-player-an-operator.md) for this to work.

## Changing the seed

Head over to the [Game Panel](https://game.lodestone.host) and select "File Manager" on the sidebar menu.
