Changing the numbers in seeds

What should happen if you decrease or increase the seed number 1703110296? If we increase the first 1 what would happen? For example would there be more water? I’m am curious to see if each number in a seed is in control over an aspect of generation. Therefore learning this we may get the desired maps we want more often.

No, the numeric seed value is only used for construction of the random number generator that is used for map generation: Random(long seed)

Pseudo number generators aim to produce some sort of random numbers based on a seed value. The generated numbers are supposed to show no similarities for similar seed values.
