How to See Your World Seed in Terraria

Use the seed control in Terraria’s world-selection menu to reveal or copy a world’s seed. Worlds created before version 1.3.4 do not have a stored seed to display.

Yes. Open Terraria’s world-selection menu and use the seed control next to the world you want. On desktop, hover over the world button to reveal the seed, or click the control to copy it. This works for worlds created in Terraria 1.3.4 or later; older worlds do not have a stored seed the game can display.

Find and copy the seed of an existing world

  1. Return to the world-selection menu.

  2. Find the seed icon or control associated with your world.

  3. On desktop, hover over the world button to reveal the seed. Click the seed control to copy it to your clipboard.

The Official Terraria Wiki documents this menu control for viewing and copying a world seed: World Seed and World. Other platforms may present the interaction differently, so look for the seed icon rather than expecting the same hover action.

Why an older world may not show a seed

Terraria stores seeds for worlds created in version 1.3.4 or later. A world made before 1.3.4 has no stored seed for the game to display, even though a seed was used when the world was generated. In that case, you cannot retrieve it through the world-selection menu.

Finding the seed menu when creating a world

When setting up a new world, select the seed icon beside the World Seed field to open the Seed Menu. It is a separate setup control, not the way to reveal the seed of an existing world. Terraria’s developer described the menu as a place to select special seeds in its 1.4.5 announcement.
