Starting your Minecraft world near a village is a huge advantage. You’ll have access to tools, food, and shelter right from the start without having to punch a single tree. However, not all villages are made the same. If you’re looking for the best ones, we’ve got you covered with our list of the 30 best Minecraft 1.20 village seeds.
Best 30 Minecraft 1.20 Village Seeds
Blacksmith Village by Jungle Temple
- Seed: -6566502800787332445
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: -2, -8
- Biomes: Jungle, Plains
The easiest way to get iron armor and tools at the start of a survival world is by visiting a Blacksmith’s home. In this world, the first village you come across is home to a singular Blacksmith. Their chest contains an iron chestplate, a few loose iron ingots, and bread. It’s the perfect inventory for you to use while visiting the cavern next to the village and the Jungle Temple across the river. Make sure to break through part of the Temple’s inner walls to find its hidden chest.

- Biomes: Deep Dark, Forest, Plains, Stony Peaks
A large sinkhole has opened in the center of this village, causing part of the village’s paths to fall into a cavern. Luckily, all of the villagers’ homes were safely out of the way when the sinkhole appeared. Explore the cavern’s depths to discover a Deep Dark biome surrounding a lava lake.

- Biomes: Forest, Plains, Swamp
Two Plains Villages make their home on opposite ends of a Swamp biome in this seed. The first is home to a Blacksmith and is only a short walk away from a Witch Hut. While the second village is much smaller, it is located near a ruined Nether portal. Players looking to test their combat skills can also explore the area beneath the second village to discover a Trial Chamber.

One of the highlights of this Desert Village is the ravine inside it. While it initially looks like a typical ravine, anyone who puts in the effort to explore it will discover a mineshaft at its base. Players who prefer to stay above ground can loot a Desert Temple and a nearby Plains Village instead.

Three Desert Villages can be found scattered around this Mangrove Swamp. The closest is located next to a tall Desert Temple, while the furthest is home to a Blacksmith. Lucky players will also find a few ruined Nether portals buried beneath the Desert’s sand. If you enjoy Desert living, head east to venture deeper into the heart of the Desert and a Badlands biome. Those who want to take a break from the sand can wander east to enter a Jungle.

Archaeology and Taiga Villages
- Seed: 8788430897117103227
- Version: Java
- Spawn: Taiga
- Biomes: 16, 6
Every 1.20 Minecraft seed list needs an archaeological seed. This one takes place in a large Taiga with two Taiga Villages and two sets of Trail Ruins. Each village is on top of a hill, making them more defensive against hostile mobs. I recommend starting at the first village since it is closest to the first set of ruins. When you’ve fully excavated those, you can move to the next town while you dig up the next Trail Ruins structure.

- Seed: -3220651362772780540
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 153, -280
- Biomes: Desert, Stony Shores, Warm Ocean
A Desert Village has made its home next to a tall Desert Temple in this world. Since the Desert Temple is at the edge of the village, it isn’t much of a threat to the villagers. However, it is still a great place to gather resources due to its hidden treasure room and the mobs that spawn in it at night. Players who don’t mind a little extra work can dig up six buried treasure chests hidden beneath the Stony Shores and Warm Ocean biomes.

- Version: Java
- Spawn: 22, -38
- Biomes: Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Taiga
While this world may appear like a snowy wasteland at first glance, it is actually teeming with small Snowy Village communities! There are four close to Spawn and a fifth one to the west. Altogether, they’ll contain a wide variety of crops, villagers with trades, and chests with basic loot to get your adventure started on the right foot. Make your home in one of the villages or settle down in the middle of the four main ones to have equal access to all of them.

Drifting Desert Village
- Seed: 608715933441207431
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: -85, 309
- Biomes: Desert, Stony Shores, Warm Ocean
A small piece of land with a Desert Village has slowly floated adrift from the main Desert. The Warm Ocean and Coral Reef surrounding the village act as a moat, protecting the villagers from any monsters that spawn on land. One benefit of this village’s location is that it gives you easy access to the Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks scattered throughout the ocean. If you’re looking for the Sniffer introduced in Minecraft 1.20, it’s a great seed to start with.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |

| Desert Village: -228, 326 |
| Small Warm Ocean Ruin: -132, 146 |

Stony Savanna Village
- Seed: -560733844298872877
- Version: Java
- Spawn: -3, 42
- Biomes: Beach, Savanna, Stony Shores
A Stony Shores biome is one of the best ones to find next to any Minecraft village. This one is riddled with exposed coal, iron, and copper ore, so you’ll be able to craft decent tools and armor on your first day in the world. Use these tools to explore the shipwreck and underwater ruins in the nearby lake and Warm Ocean. They’ll make gathering treasures like Coastal Armor Trims and Sniffer Eggs as easy as punching trees.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |

The Blacksmith Village in this seed is situated on the edge of a small, snowy mountain. Explore beneath this mountain to find an Ancient City.

Both cities are found within Dripstone Caves and feature a chest in the center containing a golden apple.

- Version: Java
- Spawn: 7, -5
- Biomes: Beach, Mangrove Swamp, Savanna
This Savanna Village rests between two small Mangrove Swamps. Its homes have extended into both swamps, especially since the water in each is used to grow crops. While on your way to this village, walk along the coast to spot a shipwreck. Loot the shipwreck and the buried treasure chest next to it to gather valuables to use for bargaining with the villagers.

A small Plains biome was generated in the middle of a Flower Forest biome in this world, allowing this unique floral village to come to life. It has the traditional appearance of a Plains Village while being surrounded by the various flowers and plants native to the Flower Forest biome. Next to it is a large cave, which you can use to travel to an Ancient City.

When you enter this world, you’ll spawn on the edge of an Ocean next to a ruined portal and a Cherry Grove. Walk along the shore in the direction opposite the first ruined portal to come across a second ruined portal and a Plains Village. While you may not notice it at first, you’ll find that one of the houses in the village has merged with a Cold Ocean Ruin! The ruin’s treasure is easily reachable without the threat of the Drowned. However, don’t let your guard down since the Drowned will attack the village with other mobs when night falls.

Snowy Village Outpost

- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Slopes
The villagers residing in this Snowy Village live carefully every day to avoid being attacked by the Pillager Outpost next door. While this set-up isn’t ideal for them, it’s perfect if you want to make a Raid Farm in 1.20! Use the villagers living at the top of the hill for the farm while employing those at the bottom to create a trading hall. It’ll take some effort, but it’ll make gathering materials in this survival world a whole lot easier.

- Biomes: Plains, Windswept Gravelly Hills, Windswept Hills
A small Plains biome in the center of these gravelly hills has allowed a Plains Village to spawn on top of them.

- Version: Java
- Spawn: -5, -9
- Biomes: Cherry Grove, Forest, Plains
Two Cherry Grove villages at Spawn are being threatened by a Pillager Outpost. If both villages put their strength together, they could easily destroy the outpost.

The ocean isn’t the only biome that has islands; some of the wider rivers have them too. In this seed, you’ll spawn on a riverbank with a cliffside village. In the middle of the river is an island with another village that has a blacksmith. Actually, both villages stand so close to each other that one might think they form one giant village that the river has divided in half.

- Version: Java
- Spawn: 2, -2
- Biomes: Plains, Forest, Jungle
Woodland Mansions rarely spawn on the ocean shore, let alone inside of Jungle biomes. In this seed, you’ll spawn between two villages with this rare Mansion only a short trip away.

A Mangrove Swamp that appears in the desert biome is like an oasis. Here, I spawned in a Desert Village conveniently standing right next to a small patch of mangrove trees.

Sometimes Minecraft manages to generate symmetrically-positioned structures, although it’s extremely rare. Here, I spawned in the center of a perfect square, consisting of three villages and a Pillager Outpost that are separated by an equal number of blocks. This is a great spot for setting up a dedicated survival server, involving various types of gameplay and at least four different groups of players.
