The final stable version of the Nether Update for Minecraft version 1.16.2 is out now, and it includes a new mob type: piglin brutes. These are hostile mobs that can be farmed at bastion remnant structures for golden axes.
You will find plenty of Minecraft seeds in our monthly selection that will spawn you right at bastions remnants and nether fortresses as soon as you enter the portal doors.
So be sure to check this list for some new and exciting nether seeds that may result in some of the best Minecraft experiences from this update.
In this seed, you will spawn in a mesa biome with a desert village and a totally exposed mineshaft. Mines are usually hidden underground, but this seed gives you an exclusive look at the structure in the overworld.
Also, at coordinates 50, -250 and 200, 150, you will find two desert temples for a total of eight treasure chests.
In this seed, you will spawn in a village with a ruined portal at coordinates 150, -300. Enter the portal and get transported to the base of a massive bastion remnant structure.
The gold chunks are easily available at the very entrance to the bastion and deeper inside you'll find even more treasure chests with goodies.
This seed has an island village with a blacksmith at spawn! This village is quite large and has 20 structures in total. Since the island is on the small side, most of the buildings are spread out into the ocean.
This can be used to create bridges between many smaller islands all around.
Also, at coordinates -300, 300, you will encounter an ocean monument.
This seed offers one of the most unique spawns in Minecraft. You will spawn on a mushroom field that stands between a plains village and a desert village.
There are also extreme hills nearby, as well as a pair of a village and desert temples at coordinates 50, -950.
In this seed, you will spawn in the middle of the forest next to an (almost complete) ruined portal at coordinates 50, 300. A bit further to the south at coordinates -150, 600 you will encounter a small taiga village.
If you go through the portal, you will find yourself on the bridge of a nether fortress that resides in a lush basalt deltas biome.
This seed has a shattered savanna island village at spawn! This is a truly beautiful seed that will transport you right into the heart of a savanna paradise.
The shattered hills surround almost the entire island, enclosing a gorgeous acacia village in the middle of the island.
If you like pretty Minecraft seeds, this is a great choice!
Finding an exposed stronghold is possible only in the ocean or in a ravine. In this seed, you can find one at coordinates 1400, -300.
The best part is that you will see a desert village near the stronghold, at coordinates 1100, -250, as well as a half-buried desert temple at coordinates 1150, -400.
One of the most impressive biome combinations in Minecraft is mesa and shattered savanna. If you get a village with it, it's a win-win situation.
You can find just that in this seed at coordinates 150, -450, which isn't that far from spawn.
This is an excellent seed for speedrunning!
Here, you will spawn on the ocean shore, just a few blocks away from two survival islands at coordinates 50, 50.
One has a village with a blacksmith, and the other has a ruined portal. Once you enter the portal, you will find a nether fortress very close to the spawn.
In this seed, you will spawn in a forest right next to a swampland area. Be on the lookout because there is a massive ruined portal at coordinates -400, -200.
Enter the portal and spawn at the walls of a bastion remnant, which is embedded in the nether hills that hover over a huge lake of lava.
Be sure to check all four chests at the top of the bastion for some cool loot.
Mushroom islands are as rare as it gets, and this seed spawns you right at one, with a zombie island village at coordinates 700, 300.
The path between the two is crossed by a narrow bridge of icebergs, with an ocean monument resting at coordinates 550, 150.
Also, be prepared for a small village at spawn on the mainland.
This seed has three villages and a shattered savanna at spawn!
The first village is quite large and contains 20 buildings, some of which occupy the shattered hills. The other two villages are located nearby at coordinates 150, -300 and -200, 150.
Also, at coordinates -150, 350, you will find a half-buried desert temple with some great items.
In this seed, you will spawn in a forest area very close to a ruined portal that stands at coordinates -350, 100. It only has two obsidian blocks missing and both of them can be found inside a treasure chest at the portal.
If you walk through the portal, you will end up at the cliff overlooking a nether fortress to your left.
In this seed, you will spawn on a tiny survival island right next to an island village that stands at coordinates 50, 50.
If you can traverse over 1,000 blocks to the west, you will find a very rare exposed stronghold right under the mushroom island at coordinates -1700, -350.
If you like big villages, then this is the perfect seed for you, as there is a massive acacia village right at spawn — and it has 30 buildings in total!
This huge settlement occupies three different biomes: desert, plains, and savanna. Also, at coordinates 50, 250, you will find the ruins of a nether portal.
In this seed, you'll spawn in a jungle just a few hundred blocks away from one of the most exciting spots in the game. At coordinates 150, -300, you will find a jungle pyramid, a desert temple, a big ruined portal, and a mega taiga village — all standing together!
This is definitely one of the rarest and most valuable survival seeds you will ever find.
Right after you spawn, travel to coordinates 50, 250 for a ruined portal that will lead you straight to the top of the bastion remnant structure.
This gives you quick and relatively safe access to the treasure chests that contain some of the most prized loot in Minecraft.
This seed has one of the funniest glitches. Go to coordinates 150, -250, where you will see an igloo spawning on top of the hut that belongs to a plains village.
Be sure to check out the surrounding area for three more snow villages that stand at coordinates:
This seed has a taiga island village at spawn!
This is a great start for a survival game, which opens up a few interesting opportunities.
First, you can find a shipwreck with a ruined portal at coordinates -350, -500. Second, you can find a large warm ruin with a cluster at coordinates -550, -250.
Last, you can get to a mainland village with another ruined portal at coordinates 350, 200.
Here is another island village at spawn, but this time, it's in the roofed forest biome.
There is an ocean monument relatively close at coordinates -350, 250, and you can check out a small island at coordinates -750, 750, which contains not one but two hidden treasure chests with some really awesome loot.
