Valheim Seed Finder

The seed is the short string the world generator builds from. Two worlds made with the same seed get identical terrain, biomes, boss altars and merchant spots. Your buildings, items and progress aren't part of it; those live in the .db save file.

The seed sits in plain text inside the .fwl file, a few bytes after the world name. This page reads the file with JavaScript in your browser, walks that layout and shows what's there. Nothing is changed and nothing is sent to a server.

Seeds are case-sensitive, so HHcCkkJYYq and hhcckkjyyq are different worlds, and characters like 0/O and l/I are easy to mix up by hand. Reading the seed straight from the .fwl takes the guesswork out. Older worlds can also differ in newer biomes, since unexplored areas get regenerated by the current world generator.

Yes. The server stores the same .fwl/.db pair as a local game. Download the .fwl from the server's save folder and drop it here. The .fwl.old backup works too, it's just the previous version of the same file.

No. The file is opened with the browser's own file API and read on your machine. Load the page, pull your internet connection, and the tool still works.

No. Host Havoc isn't affiliated with Iron Gate or Coffee Stain. The reader follows the community-documented .fwl layout, which has stayed the same across every world version so far.
