If there is a minus symbol on a seed, should I ignore that when I put a seed in the "server.properties" file?

If there is a minus symbol on a seed, should I ignore that when I put a seed in the "server.properties" file? Or should I leave it in?

The seed looks like this: -7608072235823377213

I tried that seed where it said "level-seed=" in the "server.properties" file, but I got something else... Not the world that was showing when I put that seed in in a single-player world, or the one in the YouTube video I watched.

you need to keep the '-' sign.

discrepancies in world appearence can be because of spawn coordinates, minecraft version or mod list/mod config. Make sure to use the same 'environment' as the videomaker and /tp to the coordinates that video was recorded at.

Try to create the world in your local client, and then copy it on to the server world. Remember to put the correct seed in level-seed=

Edit 1: You need to put the minus symbol
