To Reproduce
Create a world with seed
ain 20w20a.Check the seed by using
/seedcommand.Expected:
97❌ Actual: a random number
Original Description
In the latest snapshot I tried using a world generated with the seed "a", which should be seed "97".
However in this snapshot the seed I received was much longer, and resembled a seed that would generate randomly. I tried the same "a" seed again, and I received a different seed yet again. I tried this with other words and they all give back random seeds. When I tried the seed "1" the world generated with the seed "1", which leads me to believe this is only the case for seeds made up of letters.

Tried using my favorite seed name, named after a streamer I watch, abd it just generates a random world each time I recreated the world, ignoring what I typed.
20w20b still has this bug.
It's obvious that 20w20 code is not calling hashcode() when given a non-numeric seed.
Hashcode() produces a 32 bit signed integer to be used as the world seed.
32 bit signed integers range from -2,147,483,648 thru 2,147,483,647.
The PRNG used in Java produces a 64 bit signed integer.
These random seeds tend to be 17 to 19 digits in length.

Me as well using a phrase as a seed.
