Special World Seeds
Terraria has several special world seeds that generate unique worlds with modified mechanics and features. These seeds work with dedicated servers.

| not the bees | Replaces most of the world with Jungle, Hive, and Honey Blocks. |

| getfixedboi | Combines all secret seeds into one world with upscaled difficulty. |
Secret World Seeds (1.4.5+)
The following secret world seeds were added in Terraria 1.4.5. A full list can be found on the Terraria Wiki.
These seeds do not work as provided and will conflict with world generation on dedicated servers, unless all server settings match, World Size, Difficulty, and the entire seed code (example: 3.1.2.0.winteriscoming|1378921490) is copied from the Terraria menu.
To avoid world generation issues, we highly recommend that you create the world with your desired seed in singleplayer, and then upload the save to your server.
