# How to set a custom seed on your Minecraft Server

1. Ensure your server isn’t currently running. If it is, stop the server before proceeding.
2. Navigate to the **File Manager** tab, and delete the “world” folder if it exists.

3. In the **File Manager**, open the <mark style="color:green;">`server.properties`</mark> file. Look for the **level-seed** option (or add it if it’s missing). Enter the desired seed value, then save the file.
4. Go to the Console Tab, start the server and wait for your new world to generate using the seed.
