Spawn Settings
This category is based solely on the creation of the world. Once a world has been made, you cannot change it unless you create a new one.
Spawn Seed
This seed allows you to define the spawn islands characteristics. It is made by a combination of 5 characters using letters (capitalized and lowercased) as well as numbers. This can be randomized to your liking, as well as having the ability to control it as you wish by entering a code of your liking.
A second option for the spawn seed is to select a custom spawn island. The boxes under it are, by default, greyed out until this option is selected. Once selected, the spawn seed box will become greyed out and you are free to use the custom spawn island boxes instead. Here, it asks for custom x and y coordinates that can be entered to your liking.
