Top 58 Minecraft Seeds for 1.21 (Dec 2024)

Trial Chamber seed

Trial Chamber seed: 393235010621814182
Version: 1.21
Important coordinates:

• Village: 176, 64
• Trial Chamber: 16, 160

For your first days in the Minecraft 1.21 update, this seed has a great spawn location, with a nearby village and trial chamber. There’s almost no better way in Minecraft 1.21 to loot valuable materials early on, but what’s better is you can access this underground chamber with next to no tools. Head to the village at x = 176, z = 64 to stock up on wood and other materials safely before heading to the massive cave entrance to the southwest. Use the waterfalls here to safely descend into the cave, and you can see a brick wall at the bottom – this is the Trial Chamber. Use a pickaxe to break through the wall and take on the new challenge.

Of course, since you are entering a cave (and dangerous trial chamber) we would recommend taking some tools and weapons with you, but there’s so much loot to be had inside the Trial Chamber walls that you won’t need much. Just be on the lookout for mob spawners and that new Minecraft Breeze.

Armor trims seed

Armor trims seed: -3700836276160199646
Important coordinates:

• Outpost: -192, 80
• Ruined portal: -328, 120
• Village: -496, 176
• Nether fortress: 27, 27
• Bastion treasure room: 288, -160

Beautiful broken cove seed

Broken cove seed: 11297487
Important coordinates:

• Cove: 83, 23
• Ruined portal: 68, 138
• Village: 224, 576

Swamp village seed

Swamp village seed: -2295595817529477063
Important coordinates:

This is a good one. In case you’re unaware, swamp and jungle villages don’t spawn naturally in Minecraft, but they do have unique villager trades. This might seem unfair, but these villagers can be forced to spawn as long as they are ‘born’ in these biomes, for example via a villager farm. This usually means you either have to be lucky enough to find your ‘parent’ villagers close to one of these biomes, or transport them via Nether portal, boat, minecart, or a combination of all three. Boring.

Skull island seed

Skull island seed: 1040934860
Important coordinates:

Easy Nether seed

Nether seed – 4517475607999363428
Important coordinates:

• Fortress: 13, 27
• Bastion: 25, -119

OK, don’t take us too seriously when we say “easy”, nothing in the Nether is ever easy, but this seed certainly sets you up for success. When launching into this world, found by PainterAccording on reddit, you spawn on a small island, which itself is home to some vital resources like coal, iron, and gravel. Place a Nether Portal on this island, and you’ll find yourself right inside (or close to) a Nether Fortress. That’s not all, as there’s also a Bastion Remnant located just 100 blocks to the North. Just make sure you’re kitted out with gold, armor, and other essentials before you try and venture into the underworld.

Shipwreck survival seed

Shipwreck seed: -8065848147699287859
Important coordinates:

While finding shipwrecks is one of the best ways of gathering valuable resources early on, there’s still a significant challenge involved in being stranded on a shipwreck in a completely open ocean – and that’s exactly what this seed offers. Thanks to Jmims1983 on Reddit for finding this challenging survival Minecraft seed on 1.20, in which you really do spawn on a shipwreck mast, with no land in sight.

Carefully go underwater to loot the shipwreck’s chests for all you can get – which does, thankfully, include some iron – grab some of its wood to make a boat, and see how far you can make it.

Trail Ruins at spawn

Spawn Trail Ruins Seed: -78281593317120339
Important coordinates:

• Trail Ruins: -152, 72
• Village: -272, 272

Trail Ruins are all that is left of ancient Minecraft civilizations and villages from a time long since forgotten. Added in the 1.20 Trails and Tales update, these oft-buried structures are home to plenty of valuable loot and even Minecraft archaeology, given you the chance to scrape away at suspicious blocks to reveal the secrets hidden within. Perhaps the most fun part is just excavating the area itself though, and finding out just how large the village was – perhaps you could even take on the task of reforming it?

This Trail Ruin seed is perfect for any budding archaeologists, as the ruins seen above are just a few blocks from spawn, and the top-most bright terracotta blocks can be seen with no digging required. What’s even better, though, is the nearby village at x = -272, z = 272, giving you somewhere to call home while you work, and to safely store all the artifacts you uncover. There’s even a Mineshaft underground here too, if you’re brave enough to face the dangers in exchange for even more valuable loot.

Savanna village seed

Savanna village seed: -2078000429
Important coordinates:

If the Savanna is your favorite biome, then look no further than this great village seed, which spawns you right next to a large savanna village, floating in a river valley between grand savanna cliffs. This is a great survival seed, not just because of the materials you can gather in the village, but also thanks to the surrounding cave entrances, making it easy to gather resources and make it safely back home to your villager friends.

Minecraft seed for building

Minecraft seed for building: -3899835130120818196
Important coordinates:

For a seed that offers building locations and survivability right at spawn, we’ve got you covered. This perfect seed spawns you right near a plains village, where you can pick up plenty of materials to get you started. However, the real draw of this seed in the large surrounding plains, which offer perfect plateaus for building on. This plains biome is surrounded by tiny cherry grove, forest, and even jungle biomes, as well, so you can gather most of the wood types without straying too far from your home base.

Eight Ancient Cities seed

Eight Ancient Cities seed: -3227758055243832981
Important coordinates:

• 1: x = -2,520, y = -616
• 2: x = -1,848, y = -600
• 3: x = -2,088, y = -184
• 4: x = -2,264, y = 104
• 5: x = -2,440, y = 40
• 6: x = -1,864, y = 408
• 7: x = -2,296, y = -488
• 8: x = -2,440, y = 424

No, we’re not joking. We were actually hunting for a Trail Ruin seed when we came across this incredible find. We’re not sure why you’d want to put yourself through the incredible pain of looting even one Ancient City (we might have been killed by The Warden one too many times), but this is the Minecraft community – there’s bound to be someone who wants to visit eight adjacent cities.

We found this seed using Chunk Base, and, as you can see from the image above, there are eight Ancient Cities all within a thousand-block square. Given how large Ancient Cities themselves are, trust us when we say there’s not much distance between them. In fact, we went and had a look in spectator mode, and that block of four in the bottom left are all practically on top of each other. Traveling between those far north cities at least gives you a bit of breathing space from The Wardens.

If this seems like a bit too much for you, there is a seed further down with just two combined Ancient Cities, but there was no way we weren’t adding this to the list of the best Minecraft seeds right now.

Mega Ancient City

Mega Ancient City seed: 111111111111111111 (that’s 18 ones!)
Important coordinates:

• Village: 0, -464
• Mineshaft: -203, -26, -653
• First Ancient City: -210, -52, -700

We’re calling this the ‘Mega Ancient City’, but do let it be known that there is some space between some of them, so you might think it a little misleading. That said, there’s still no denying that 26 Ancient Cities within 5,000 blocks is spectacular, especially considering how big each individual structure is. For context, it only takes about three-to-four minutes to walk 1,000 blocks, so this gives you a pretty incredible underground adventure in an afternoon of gaming and looting.

What makes this seed, found on reddit, even better is that these underground structures start quite close to spawn, and there’s a picturesque snowy village on your way to the first. Stop here, make yourself at home, and prepare for your adventure, then head underground towards -210, -700 to start your ancient city exploration. Head west, and the majority of the cities are on a straight line.

Speedrun seed

Speedrun seed: 7499203634667178692
Important coordinates:

Ancient City Cherry Grove seed

Ancient City Cherry Grove seed: 2419912010728942704
Important coordinates:

• Ancient cities: 94 , -36, 265
• Cherry Grove: 65, -31

This is a pretty incredible find if we may say so ourselves. Finding one Minecraft Ancient City in survival mode is hard enough, finding two right next door to one another is something else. And these two are almost directly below spawn? And a massive cherry grove biome? Yes and yes.

When you’re dropped at spawn at x = 16, z = -16, you are immediately greeted by the sight of a Cherry Grove biome to your south and east, surrounding some snowy slopes. Head underground to the southeast of spawn to find a gigantic Ancient City at x = 96, z = 73. Follow this underground structure directly South until you reach a lava fall to find the start of another Ancient City. Just watch out for those Wardens. The coordinates we’ve listed above drop you right in between the two cities.

Scenic Minecraft seed for 1.20

Pretty icy 1.20 seed: 7050622155736149866
Important coordinates: 

• Vantage point: 93, 2,655
• Cherry Grove: -694, 2,846

This seed was originally found by Redditor Hanazeri in 1.19, and the magnificent icy landscape in the image above still stands in the 1.20 update. What makes this even better after Tales and Trails though is the addition of a Cherry Grove biome right next to one of the icy mountains. The vantage point above can be found at coordinates x=93, z=2,655, while the snowy mountain and cherry blossom combo can be found a *cough* short *cough* walk along the x-axis to x=-694, z=2,846.

There’s no prettier color combo than pink and white, right? So grab a few saplings and pink petals from the Cherry Grove, head back to the gorgeous building plot above, and turn that circular meadow into a snowy pink wonderland.

Cherry Grove seed

Perfect Cherry Blossom ring seed: 1691256543523180978
Important coordinates:

Minecraft basement igloo at spawn seed

Igloo spawn seed: 8014621782944328921
Important coordinates:

• Igloo: 168, -136
• Shipwreck: 5, 126

If you’re someone who worries about having somewhere to rest your head on your first Minecraft night – and you like to find rare structures – then look no further than this Minecraft seed with an igloo at spawn. And when we say spawn, we mean spawn – simply turn around and this igloo, complete with basement, is all of two blocks in front of you.

With a bed, a chest, some food, and even a villager to trade with (once you’ve got Emeralds, of course), you’re off to a good start with this seed before you’ve really even started. From here, we recommend heading southwest, either underground or above ground, but you’ll find a mineshaft ripe for looting if you travel underground. Then, at x = 5, z = 126, there’s a Shipwreck just under the water’s surface, full of other valuable gear, including a treasure map and armor-smithing templates.

Trails and Tales seed

Cherry Grove and archeology seed: -4701114812458603382
Important coordinates:

• Cherry Grove: 1,500, -170
• Desert Temple: 1,688, 1,112
• Desert Temple 2: 2,071, 1,112

We’re going to keep digging for the very best seed for the Minecraft Trails and Tales 1.20 update, but this is by far the best we’ve seen to date. Not too far from spawn in an easterly direction, you’ll find a large desert biome (x=1,400, z=700), which is home to two desert temples for archeology, plus, there’s a desert village nearby for taming your very own camel. That’s not all, as there is a relatively large Cherry Grove biome to the north of the desert, where you can build a pretty Minecraft house, or just gather some Sakura saplings.

Double Ancient city seed

Double Ancient city seed: -4289043014354930070

Beautiful Minecraft seed

Beautiful Minecraft snow seed: 5488656216511509290
Important coordinates:

• Frozen lake: -170, -204
• Pillager Outpost: -192, 117

We might be nearing the end of winter in the Northern Hemisphere, but even if you’re not looking for a Minecraft Christmas guide right now, this winter wonderland seed is still beautiful for any time of year, surrounding you with ice and snow as far as the eye can see. Load into a 1.19 world or newer, head up the mountain right next to you on spawn, and you can descend into a dripstone cave or build a festive town or icy-cool castle on the gorgeous frozen lake above. Plenty of rare structures near spawn, including a Pillager Outpost at -192, 117, also help you get essential loot in the early days.

Woodland Mansion seed

Woodland Mansion seed: 844424960210770
Important coordinates:

Witch Hut Seed

Witch hut seed: -9215772017318341931
Important coordinates:

• Woodland Mansion: 504, 456
• Witch Hut 1: 360, 376
• Witch Hut 2: 376, 520
• Witch Hut 3: 536, 536
• Witch Hut 4: 536, 344

Mooshroom biome seed

Mushroom fields seed: 859337968100847433
Important coordinates:

After spawning on a sandy shore, turn around and venture out to sea to discover a Mooshroom island paradise populated by several adorable Mooshrooms. Watch your step as the rare mushroom fields occasionally open up to huge ravines, but they do make the perfect place to build a stunning ravine base – especially since the Mooshroom environment keeps you safe from hostile mobs.

Amazing rare island Seed

Best island seed: -3420545464665791887
Important coordinates:

• Woodland Mansion: 120, 56
• Village: 128, 176

Woodland Mansion and lush cave seed

Woodland mansion and lush cave seed: 2377611421072266823
Important coordinates:

• Woodland Mansion: 487, 492
• Lush Cave: 400, 516

Instead of heading out to sea when you spawn into this seed, sail along the river toward the coordinates x=487, z=492, and you’ll come across a woodland mansion on the riverbank.

On the opposite bank, there’s a cave nestled in the hill – inside, it opens up into a vast lush cave with a dripstone cave chamber on the side. There are plenty more lush caves in the vicinity to explore, but they require some digging to find.

Lush Cave seed

Lush cave and mineshaft seed: -1898624505743265221
Important coordinates:

• Lush Cave: 2,890, 47, 2,200

Jungle seed

Jungle seed: 5247619261862256596
Important coordinates:

This Minecraft Jungle seed drops you right in the middle of a lush green bamboo paradise. Besides Bamboo Jungle, you’ll find a large patch of dense Jungle to the north (across the river) and a seemingly endless Sparse Jungle to the east. If you’re looking for a Jungle Temple, you’ll find that a bit further north as well (x=-150, z=-150). However, the seed’s biggest selling point is its beauty; the forest is spread out over little islands and gorgeous hills, including a particularly epic rock formation just northeast of the spawn point. If this still isn’t enough greenery for you, you might want to cross the Plains and Savannah to the west. Once you’ve crossed the river, you’ll find another huge Jungle biome waiting to be explored (x=-1,000, z=0).

Cool Minecraft village seed

Village monolith seed: -6537256334104833826
Important coordinates:

You can find this peculiar village to the west of the island where you spawn, at coordinates x=-416, z=128. These intrepid villagers have made a home around a tall, jagged cliff jutting out of the sea, with harbors on every side, buildings perched on top, and farmland carved into the cliffside. While it looks cool, it’ll take a while to scale this huge vertical island.

Seed with all biomes near spawn

All biomes seed: 4405134068028
Important coordinates:

• Spawn, Dark Forest: 192, 112
• Taiga: 150, 150

• Desert: 950, -777
• Badlands: 819, -891

Shattered Savanna seed

Windswept Savannah seed: 6284900741809347198
Important coordinates:

• Village 1: -1,056, -256
• Village 2: -1,232, -432

Looking for ragged peaks with tiny floating islands? This Shattered Savanna seed, also known as Windswept Savanna, provides just that and more, with no less than four nearby Shattered Savanna locations to choose from. Directly after spawning, you’ll see the first one to the south, situated in the water (x=-500, z=210). The second one is to the west (x=-1060, z=-175), right next to two villages. The third one is in the north, next to a Swamp (x=-360, z=-900), and the fourth Shattered Savanna is northeast (x=-500, z=250). The one in the north (with the villages) is arguably the most unique of the four.

Mesa Biome seed

Badlands seed: -2757104535283963016
Important coordinates:

• Shipwreck 1: 40, 8
• Shipwreck 2: 104, -232

Looking for a large chunk of Badlands to explore? The Badlands, also known as the Mesa biome, are particularly rare as a spawn location. Luckily, this Mesa Biome seed drops you right at the border of the layered red rocks. Head northwest to find a seemingly endless Mesa biome with canyon-like rock formations, barren plateaus, forest areas, high mountains, large cave systems, tiny islands, and Ancient Cities.

OP loot seed

Overpowered seed: 2059666523504992
Important coordinates:

• Village 1: -176, 80
• Village 2: 128, 32
• Village 3: 144, -208

Found by YouTube channel Moment’s Lab of Minecraft, this overpowered Minecraft seed hands you three nearby villages (and their valuable loot) on a silver platter. Village one is in the east (x=70, z=10), village two is in the southwest (x=-140, z=65), and village three is in the northeast (x=140, z=-200). They’re close to trees, cave systems, water, and various other biomes so that you won’t suffer any shortages.

Minecraft title screen seeds

Title screen seed: -1696067516
Important coordinates:

Minecraft title screen: 3,820, 553

Snowy speedrun seed

Seed: -4496590507308278848
Important coordinates:

• Igloo: 648, 1,544
• Stronghold: 548, 1,540
• Ancient City: 548, 1,736

If you’re looking for a chilly seed to speedrun through, then look no further than this Minecraft Christmas speedrun seed. Perfect for jumping into and completing while you’re off for the holidays, or even just if you’re not a fan of the summer, this seed has a basement igloo not too far from spawn, directly over not only an Ancient City, but also a Stronghold, meaning you can check out three of the rarest Minecraft structures in quick succession, and complete the game.

Of course, you also need a Nether Fortress to do this, but as luck would have it, head into the Nether from the coordinates above, and you are only a short walk from the nearest Nether Fortress, at x = 126, z = 274. To get back to your stronghold location, we recommend building your way to the fortress, with a path that you can follow back to your portal.

Herobrine seed

Herobrine seed: 478868574082066804
Version: Alpha 1.0.16_02
Important coordinates:

• Herebrine Forest: 5, -298

Here’s one for the Minecraft folklore experts: the infamous Herobrine seed, a.k.a. where Minecraft-ghost Herobrine was supposedly sighted. Discovered by MinecraftAtHome on YouTube, you can now visit the creepy forest yourself (x=5.16, z=-298.53) as long as you use Minecraft’s Java Alpha 1.0.16_02 version. Of course, the myth of Herobrine is merely a decade-old copypasta, so we shouldn’t expect to find an actual ghost here… Right? Wait… Who’s that over there?

What is a Minecraft seed?

If you’re new to Minecraft or just new to specific seeds, you might be wondering what we’re even talking about. As we briefly touched upon in the intro, Minecraft worlds are procedurally generated – each one is completely random across millions of blocks, thousands of diamonds, and hundreds of structures. However, when a new world is generated, it is given its own unique number – a seed. This number can then be entered into the game creation screen to recreate the exact same world generation again and again, so you and your friends alike can play the same world.

How to load into a specific Minecraft seed

Most of these seeds can be entered into both Java and Bedrock editions and, thanks to seed parity, provides almost the same results – as long as you’re playing in at least version 1.18.

How to enter a seed in Minecraft Java Edition:

• Select Single Player from the main menu
• Click Create New World
• Name your world and choose your game mode and difficulty
• Select More World Options
• Enter seed
• Select any other required options like resource packs
• Click Create New World

How to enter a seed in Bedrock Edition:

• Click Create New
  
• Then select Create New World
• Head to the Advanced options menu
• Enter seed
• Choose any other required options for your world
• Click Create

Enjoy this selection of the best Minecraft seeds, and get out for some brand-new Minecraft adventures. With an infinite number of worlds available, we’re sure there are some even more spectacular ones just waiting to be discovered, and we’ll update this list when they are. Meanwhile, there’s plenty to keep you busy exploring, but with something new to find around every corner, equip one of our favorite Minecraft skins, and perhaps even load up one of the best Minecraft Shaders to see one of the best PC games ever made in a whole new light, or browse our favorite Minecraft maps for something altogether different.
