Where to get the level seed?
When I'm playing a level, where do I get the seed from that level?

You can't sadly. You can always search up good seeds, or type in random seeds to get a good seed though. There is no way to my knowledge to actually see what seed you are on

So what's the purpose of this? I thought I could replay some nice seeds I find. I got a seed with two jetpacks in 1-2 and wanted to play this exact seed again.
Too bad.
Any idea why the developers made it like that?

Sadly, I do not know why the developers made it like this. Honestly, it kinda ruins the point of having seeded runs if you can't see what seed you're on. It would make seed finding a lot easier if you could. However, we can still appreciate that they added seeded runs in the first place.

Could it perhaps be that Ushabtis are bound to the run's seed? In that case knowing which one you have to get beforehand would mean you could skip everything up to the tablet.

Yes, the ushabti is always the same for the seed. However, you would have to actually get it the normal way to actually know which one it is. Alternatively, a friend or another person can play the seed and tell you which ushabti they got.

There's currently no way to tell what seed you have
It sucks, but that's the way it is at the moment
Mossmouth might add a feature that shows the seed you got when you die one day, but I don't know.

I concur. This is nonsense.

Necro but here's the reason if you're curious.

Adventure isn't fully deterministic because of unlockables and other details.
In general an "adventure seed" doesn't necessarily generate the same game on different saves, because of this it doesn't make much sense to show the seeds when playing adventure.
Also, the seed space of adventure is larger, this means that in order for people to be able to use the adventure seeds either the seeded run screen would requires a rework or we would have to reduce the level sequence space in the adventure generator.

Can even change generation in some scenarios in seeded/daily runs, e.g. killing Yang for different BM
