To manually set a seed phrase for you server: 1. Start the server GUI or run the server from command prompt. 2. Run the /seed command and copy the string you get from the console. 3. Navigate to your Minecraft server folder (e.g., C:\my_server). 4. Open the server.properties file in Notepad. 5. Find the line 6. Paste the string you copied from the console at the end of the line. 7. Save and close the file. Now, whenever you reset your Minecraft server world, the game generates the same world. The same seed phrase continues to work even when you upgrade Minecraft to a newer version.

And if you’ve backed up your server world, you can always go back to the previous version.
