The seed is already display in the game's F5 debug menu. I would have liked some kind of extra on top of this, maybe an algorithm to try to reverse the seed hashing that's applied when you start the world with a string seed. I can almost see a use case if the chat command were locked behind the server priv and the server software was modded to lie about/omit the seed info that gets sent to clients. Still, not particularly useful as it is.
Edit: Apparently some games/mods can hide the debug menu with HUD flags. This is useful for those cases, I suppose.
No, it would probably just take a long time to brute force the hash used, especially since it's not a standard hardware-accelerated hash like SHA256. That's probably not great for a chat command that runs synchronously, but it could start an async worker. It would of course be better to record the original text seed, but that's not possible without changing the main menu's code.
Useless
To a computer. For a human, if the seed is a word it's easier to remember. Anyway it was just me trying to come up with a potential use.
Not if it's disabled
Debug menu disabled? Disabled by what? I'm looking through the settings, I can't see any place to disable it. In-game it's under F5 on my PC, and a button on my phone.

That's uhh
Literally impossible (and completely useless)

HUD flags. NodeCore does this
