How can I find the World Seed of an online multiplayer Valheim Server?

Arqade Asked on May 30, 2021

I discovered http://valheim-map.world/ yesterday and it’s really neat! However, the seed extraction tool provided only works for games saved on my own, local computer. I do most of my Viking-ing on a multiplayer dedicated server with a few friends.

Is there any way that I can see the world seed for the dedicated server I play on, so that I can plug it in to this website, or, for example, to spin up a duplicate world on my home machine?

This information can be gained from the Player Log file!

To retrieve your multiplayer games world seed:

  1. Start up Valheim
  2. From the main menu, click the button labelled Show Player.log hidden away at the bottom left corner of the screen. This will open a folder in Windows Explorer; minimize that and come back to Valheim for now, we'll double back to this in a minute.
  3. Join your multiplayer server as normal. (Start Game -> Start->Join Game, yadda yadda. You know this.)
  4. Once you've loaded into the game world that you want the world seed for, it's time to Alt+Tab back to the Valheim AppData folder that was opened up by that player.log button.
  5. We want to open the text file named Player.log, or, depending on your windows settings, it may show up as simply Player.
  6. In that document, you'll want to Ctrl + F or scroll down and look for the string Initializing world generator seed:. Your seed will appear right after that*. Remember, world seeds are case sensitive!

*Initializing World Generator Seed: may show up in the log file more than once, however, the first time it will appear without a string of characters following it. This is the world generator seed for the menu. Scroll down to where you see it a second time for the game world you've just loaded into.

Using a website called Valheim World Generator, which is found here, you can easily extract your world's seed. Simply just drag the .FWL file into the page.
