How to Use Midjourney Guide: Midjourney Chaos Parameter

Want your prompts to be a bit more unpredictable? That’s where --c (or --chaos) comes in — also called Variety. It decides how bold Midjourney can be when creating your images.


Chaos = Surprises


Chaos at 0 (default):

  • Your images will closely match your prompt.


Turning Chaos Up:

  • Gives Midjourney more freedom to experiment. You might see some playful, unexpected twists—like throwing in extra spices to see what happens!


Whether you want to keep things predictable or explore new territory, you can dial in any chaos value from 0 to 100. The higher it goes, the more creative detours Midjourney might take. It’s all about how adventurous you feel!


How to Use the Midjourney Chaos Parameter


When you type your prompt, just add --c (or --chaos) plus the number you want. You can choose from 0 to 100.


Examples
