It's time to revisit the most stable Minecraft 1.16.4 version with this month's selection of top seeds for the new year of 2021.

The next major update for Minecraft is still many months away, and there haven't been any new updates for 1.17 snapshots either, so it's a good time to revisit the most stable 1.16.4 version once again.

In this month's selection of top Minecraft seeds you will find many hardcore worlds that will challenge even the most experienced players.

Of course, you will discover some great locations for beginners, but there are plenty zombie villages, dangerous terrain, and glitchy generation to satisfy the needs of even of the most accomplished survivalists.

Spawn on top of a floating island with a house!

The island floats right above the acacia village. Such a lucky spawn is a very rare occurrence, but you should try it until you get one.

Coordinates: 200, -150

Three villages at spawn!

  1. 50, -100
  2. 50, 50

The second village is infested with zombies. But don't worry, the iron golem will deal with them for you.


Seed: -7868914814809768374

Coordinates: -150, -200
Biomes: Jungle, Taiga

Zombie villages can also generate next to jungle temples, which is the case with this seed.

But be careful of the zombie villagers, as they may be dangerous even during day time.


Seed: -2708472895751322498

Coordinates: 100, 50
Biomes: Plains, Ice Spikes

Seed: -1442951894760679473

Coordinates: -50, -150
Biomes: Roofed Forest

Once you spawn head eastwards to coordinates 200, 100 for a very unusual sight. There you will find a woodland mansion that uses a church building and a village hut as its pillars.

The hut almost entirely spawns inside the garden room, which isn't that bad. But the church suffers miserably and has almost no free space left inside.


Seed: 8883957794635097090

Coordinates: -50, 50
Biomes: Mesa, Jungle

You will spawn in the middle of badlands biome with several exposed mineshafts around.

Seed: -1592625244042804248

Coordinates: -50, 50
Biomes: Basalt Deltas

Spawn between a ruined portal at coordinates -250, 200 and a plains village at coordinates 150, 100.

The area surrounding the remnant overflows with lava so be extra careful.


Seed: -6767538156058063496

Coordinates: 50, 50
Biomes: Taiga, Ocean

If you want to take it easier, then spawn in a peaceful taiga village on the ocean shore with an exposed shipwreck nearby.

Once you get into good gear and weapons you can take on a pillager outpost up north at coordinates -650, -250.

If you can take it, then just keep going north into the desert biome looking for even more adventures.


Seed: 5455449476725194276

Coordinates: 50, 250
Biomes: Plains, Desert

Looking for a nice chilly overhang? Here is one at spawn right next to a desert village with weaponsmith and a quick access to ocean.
