      Summary

      I’ve created a dedicated server – official Bedrock for Linux. Running a survival world with cheats disabled.
      Joiners have equal capabilities, in-game achievements can be obtained.

      But.... everyone can see the server’s seed, in the settings window (screenshot attached).

      Steps to reproduce...

      1. Create a Bedrock server, survival mode, cheats disabled (server software version 1.16.1.02 Linux)
      2. Login to server on any device
      3. Open settings > World > Game
      4. Scroll down to Seed

      What I expect should happen...

      The world’s seed is hidden

      What actually happened...

      The world’s seed is visible to everyone

      How this impacts BDS

      Everyone can create a duplicate world on their devices, explore it in creative mode with cheats, search for locations etc. Then come back to the server and have unfair advantage over other players, unlock achievements easily.
