Is the seed for a minecraft world stored in log files?

Solution 1:

Try booting it up in the right version of mc and do ‘/seed’. I don’t know for sure if that will work. I tried it ten times with ten different random seeds and it only worked 6 times.

Solution 2:

This was a lost cause until I remembered that I got the seed from a minecraftforum.net post, so I went through my search history and found out that I had taken the seed from this Minecraft Forum post and that my seed was 5738241147262227282.

However, if it was a random seed like I originally thought, then I would've been doomed.
