What is a seed in Minecraft?

Answer 1

It is just the same as a seed would be on the desktop version. It tells the world generator a ransom number to generate a world with. The seed box lets you define that number. Letters and symbols get converted to numbers when they are being processed during world creation. So when you press F3 on the desktop version the world seed will appear as a bunch of numbers.

There are millons here are a few:

6849903145766763736 ---> Crazy looking Caverns, really cool looking

Make a hoe by putting two pieces of stone next to each other in two of the top spots in the crafting bench, then two wooden sticks coming down from the rightmost stone. Use the hoe on a piece of grass, preferably by water, then right click the seed on the hoed dirt. Don't walk over the dirt or it will trample the crops. Animals can also trample the crops, so make sure you fence it in.

Answer 4

World generation seeds were added to Minecraft on February 23rd as part of the Beta 1.3 update. A seed is a string of characters used to provide a starting point for the terrain generation algorithm when creating a new world.

Using the same seed to generate two separate worlds will generate the same terrain consistently even on different computers. This means that seeds can be shared between players to generate the same world between them. However, the player's initial spawn point will be random.

To use a seed you have seen on this website click 'More World Options' when creating a new world then paste the seed into the box as shown below:

If you do not enter anything a random seed will be generated.

In Minecraft it is possible to view the seed of a world by pressing F3:

If you are asking what 'seeds' are (assuming you aren't talking about the things you plant) they are codes that generate a specific world, so if you type in thisisaseed as a seed, and someone else did, you would get the same generated world. If you cut down a tree though it isn't cut down for everyone else.
