The seed picker appears blank for me. See attached screenshot. This started in 1.16.0 and continues in 1.16.1.
The really strange thing is, when my son logs into his account on the same laptop and runs Minecraft, the seed picker has content. However, he says Minecraft 1.16.1 on his iPad also shows an empty seed picker.
I see a related issue MCPE-84668 resolved as incomplete. I'd re-open that one if I could, but I can't, so I'm creating this ticket.
Update 13 July 2020: Today, the seed picker appeared with seeds. There have been no updates. Yesterday the seed picker was empty for me after restarting Minecraft twice, but showed seeds when my son ran Minecraft after logging into the same laptop with his account (and then empty again when I logged in and tried it). But today it's working. I expect this bug is going to be difficult to reproduce.

I have not seen this happen since the day I reported it. Apparently others have reported it too (duplicate ticket MCPE-92559 also on 1.16.1). As I reported, the problem occurred on two devices (my laptop and my son's iPad).
I don't expect many observations of this issue because the seed picker isn't an often-used feature. I use it if I'm playing a survival game from it and want to view the same world in creative. But I certainly don't bring up the seed picker every time I run Minecraft.
I just tried it in 1.16.201 and it's working fine. But then again, it was working fine for my son on the same laptop where I saw the problem, but wasn't working for me. As I said, I expect this will be difficult to reproduce. If a developer confirms that something was done to fix the issue, then this ticket can be closed.
Are you sure your internet connection was stable that day? Or anywhere when the issue occurred after that if it did? The feature is dependent on the internet connection, it's something like a marketplace page. If the marketplace does not receive a stable connection it does not load fully.
Yes, the internet connection was stable. In this household, during the COVID-19 lockdown when I reported this, if there's even a small glitch it is noticed quickly, but the internet was working fine.
As I said, the problem spanned multiple updates of Minecraft (1.16.0 - 1.16.1), and was dependent not on internet but on who was logged into the laptop. I would start Minecraft and the seed picker would be blank. I logged off, my son would log into his account on the same laptop and start Minecraft, and he would get the seed picker. When he logged off and I logged in, the seed picker was blank again.
If the feature is internet dependent, then possibly there was some local cache corruption going on. I speculate when something happened to clear the cache (a major update perhaps) the problem cleared up.
@Magdalena Wardack I have not seen this issue arise for some months. The laptop on which I observed it has been reformatted for Linux and no longer has Minecraft on it. I have not seen this issue on my new laptop that I got a year ago. Please close this ticket as no longer reproducible.
sorry couldn't find accurate related problem in mcpe section but in mcce section I Have the same bug as Brett Walsh. I'm on Xbox. very disappointing glitch after all my work in my survival world, please help soon.
Thank you for your report!

Is this still an issue in the latest version? If so, can you please add it to the affected versions (or mention it if you are not the reporter)?
