World Seed

My players are suggesting to share the server seed, is it a good idea to share it?

It depends with the seed, they can find biomes, structures and even ores more easily

Honestly it depends on how much you trust your players. As already said, getting biomes/structures is whatever. But there’s free mobile apps that let u put the seed in and just straight up tell u when diamonds/netherrite are. There’s then mods/texture packs where u put in the seed and it’ll basically give u xray. If you’re a small private server, and they just want the seed to easily find biomes. Sure share it Public server, never.

It's never recommended tbh

Disagree completely. It’s great for private servers. Everyone plays the game differently. In all the small private servers I’ve played with friends I actively give them the seed and push for them to use it. Makes it easier to find biomes/structures that way they don’t gotta generate a shitton of chunks exploring. There’s always reasons for both sides.

what are they gonna get out of having the seed? nothing, unless they want to use it to find where shit is which would be an advantage for them. there are no downsides of not sharing it, only downsides of sharing it

Yeah makes the game more easier, not fun, It's best to explore the world

Everyone plays their own game in their own way. There’s arguments for both sides. I just stated downsides. But yes, if you prefer to play Minecraft to explore. Then yes don’t share it. But that’s what great about Minecraft. It’s a “sandbox” game. You’re free to do whatever however u want.

basically he's asking if it's good to share it so for me it's not good to share the seed
