Forest and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 16
  • Biomes: Ocean, Forest, Plains

It may be a small island where you spawn, but it has a village with several farms, a forest, a trial chamber at coordinates X: 215 Y: -20 Z: 39, and not one but two ocean monuments nearby at coordinates X: 584 Z: 168 and X: 552 Z: -280. This is a huge start for a survival island game! On top of that, I found a buried treasure chest on the island at coordinates X: 73 Z: 137.

  • Spawn: X: -48 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

Spawn on a massive island with a very small village and some sparse forestry. Fortunately, there’s an ocean monument right by the island at coordinates X: 104 Z: 184, and the village, although small, accommodates a trial chamber underneath it at coordinates X: 23 Y: -23 Z: 23. While scouting the island, I also found a buried treasure chest at coordinates X: -23 Z: -135.

Icebergs and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 240 Z: -96
  • Biomes: Ocean, Forest, Snowy Plains

I spawned on an unhibated island with a patch of forest that’s surrounded by icebergs. To my surprise, I discovered that there was a small village hiding between the icebergs at coordinates X: 32 Z: 32. Between the two islands, I also spotted a top-tier shipwreck at coordinates X: 72 Z: -152, which contains three treasure chests.

Desert and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
  • Biomes: Ocean, Desert

This small desert island with a village at spawn is located in the ocean biome between three other significant areas: a jungle to the northwest, a mushroom island to the southwest, and badlands to the east. However, the island at spawn has a few cool features of its own, including a trial chamber at coordinates X: 25 Y: -22 Z: 121, and a top-tier shipwreck at coordinates X: -136 Z: 104.

Seed: 8963534326799345348

Turtles and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 80 Z: -48
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Beach

If you’re searching for an island where it would be really easy to farm turtles, then this seed would be perfect. You’ll spawn in an island village that has a long beach with a few natural turtle spawners. In this way, you can farm scutes for your turtle helmets and lots of seagrass. Since it’s an isolated island, there’s no danger of hostile mobs, which makes it the safest farm in the game.

Seed: 3326294742300453820

Survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 0
  • Biomes: Ocean, Various

Spawn on a survival island with a wide variety of biomes, including savanna, swampland, forest, and plans, as well as a village. The best part about this seed is that there’s also a trial chamber under the island at coordinates X: 57 Y: -31 Z: 265. Although I couldn’t find any buried treasure on the island itself, I discovered one such chest on the mainland at coordinates X: 409 Z: -199.

Seed: 4410585801617263601

Shipwreck and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: -32 Z: -32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

What if you spawned on an island with a village and discovered that one of the huts was actually an exposed shipwreck? Well, here’s your chance to witness this little, weird glitch. Although you may not want to live inside the shipwreck, be sure to still check it out for a chest with some loot inside. If you get tired of living on the island, then travel to coordinates X: -480 Z: -352 for a nice village on the mainland.

Seed: 6233823104921890900

Ocean monument and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 16 Z: -16
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

There’s a huge chance that you may not find the mainland for a very long time after spawning on the survival island. That’s why I urge you to build a boat and swim northward to an ocean monument at coordinates X: 120 Z: -280, and eventually to a mushroom island at coordinates X: 250 Z: -520. There, you’ll find a safe haven without any threat of hostile mobs.

Lava pool and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 80
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

I spawned on a nice little island with a small village and a few farms. I wasn’t too happy with it until I discovered another island nearby that has a lava pool, which makes it really easy to farm obsidian and build nether portal. On top of that, I spotted a buried treasure chest on that island at coordinates X: -231 Z: -23 with so much good loot. Don’t miss out on it!

Double ocean monument and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

If you think that having one ocean monument at spawn isn’t enough, then how about two monuments? Here, you can find them near the island with a village at coordinates X: -232 Z: 200 and X: 88 Z: 264. I also had an opportunity to check the area below the second ocean monument, and luckily enough, I discovered a trail chamber underneath it at coordinates X: 185 Y: -14 Z: 329.

Forest and survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 16 Z: 48
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

Spawn on a large survival island with an unusually big village that occupies more than a third of its territory. The other third consists of the forest, and the last one is made of stony blocks, which are great for building. Although I’ve searched an entire island, I couldn’t find any buried treasure, but if you play in Minecraft 1.21 version, then be sure to check out a trial chamber near the island at coordinates X: -9 Y: -23 Z: 217.

Seed: 4782628607610572369

  • Spawn: X: -16 Z: 64
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

Here’s a survival island seed with a village and lots of challenges. Be sure to build a boat as soon as you can and travel to coordinates X: 72 Z: -264 for the nearest ocean monument. To the north and to the south, I located two mushroom islands, so if you feel unsafe here, then hop on to coordinates X: 856 Z: -408 for a safer environment. Note that the nearest village on the mainland is located at coordinates X: -1,472 Z: -528.

  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Savanna

If you’re not interested in hard-mode survival, then here’s the seed with an island village that has a blacksmith at spawn and a couple of shipwrecks with tons of loot inside. On top of that, I found a buried chest at coordinates X: 569 Z: -151, which will lead you straight to the mainland. Also, be sure to check out coordinates X: 574 Y: 63 Z: -302 near the buried treasure, as that’s where you’ll find some trail ruins.

Forest and survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 80 Z: -144
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

I got lucky and spawned on a large island with a big patch of wood and a village. A bit to the south of this island, I spotted another one with sunflower plains and savanna biomes. It’s very flat and perfect for construction, so be sure to head over to coordinates X: 347 Z: 55. After that, take your little boat to coordinates X: 457 Z: -663 for another small island that has a buried treasure at coordinates X: 633 Z: -647.

Archipelago and survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

In this Minecraft seed, I spawned on a survival island with a village, surrounded by several smaller islands, forming a sort of archipelago. These smaller islands actually turned out to be very useful, as you can easily reach the mainland via them. Once you do, check out two acacia villages at coordinates X: -400 Z: 272 and X: -800 Z: 272.

  • Biomes: Taiga, Forest

This survival island seed kicks off our Top 20 best survival island seeds in Minecraft by offering a pre-built base at spawn and a woodland mansion with a village, where you can loot everything you want. Once you defeat all the villagers in the mansion, you can claim it as your own palace.

It’s worth noting that there are plenty of bookshelves inside the mansion, so stack up those books for enchanting and crafting. Also, be sure to check out the ocean monument at coordinates X: -168 Z: 168.

Seed: 7850875

Minecraft survival island with jungle and badlands

  • Spawn: 50, 50
  • Biomes: Various

In this island seed, you’ll spawn on a large atoll covered with jungle trees and surrounded by stony peaks. There’s a jungle temple on the side of the cliff at coordinates X: 120 Z: 152, and an exposed ruined portal right below at coordinates X: 152 Z: 72. I also recommend checking out the smaller island to the south, which is made of wooded badlands that lead straight into an abandoned mineshaft at coordinates X: 8 Z: 344.

Seed: 24434696

  • Spawn: 50, 50
  • Biomes: Plains

Here, you’ll spawn on the ocean shore. Walk toward coordinates X: 208 Z: 32, where you’ll see a small survival island with a village that stands right next to an ocean monument. I suggest you prepare well, as you’ll have to defeat the leader guardian first if you want to loot the gold from the monument. To the south of the island, you’ll also find a tiny mushroom island.

  • Spawn: 50, -50
  • Biomes: Forest

Hollow islands are some of the best when it comes to setting up a well-protected base. But this survival island has a whole exposed lush cave at spawn, which is so large that you could fit an entire settlement in it. The top of the island is covered with thick forest, so you’ll have plenty of materials to build with. I also found the closest ocean monument at coordinates X: -248 Z: 152.

Seed: 1002143045637531420

  • Spawn: 50, 50
  • Biomes: Plains, Forest

Starting on a survival island is a challenge on its own, but this seed is a cool addition that may spice things up a bit: a pillager outpost. Fortunately, you’ll find plenty of iron and diamonds in the mines underneath the island, so you’ll have tools to deal with those pesky pillagers. If you build a boat and travel to coordinates X: 537 Z: 601, then you’ll find a buried treasure with some excellent loot.

There, you can collect some highly valuable items and bring them back to your private island.

But under the village, you’ll find a stairway into the stronghold at coordinates X: 916 Z: 884. The End portal can take you straight to the Ender Dragon, and you can collect the rarest item in Minecraft – the Dragon Egg.

Sometimes, you’re lucky to spawn not on one but on several survival islands, as is the case with this Minecraft island seed. Here, you have one giant atoll in the center with a giant hollow cave underneath, perfect for building your base. A smaller island to the east has a jungle temple on top at coordinates X: 328 Z: -136. Lastly, there’s a super tiny isle to the north, which can be used as the base for your watchtower.

These items will help you deal with hostile neighbors so you can enjoy your stay on these lush islands and build almost anything you want.

At coordinates X: 350 Z: 50, you’ll find an ocean monument with some ocean ruins nearby. For players who want to create a sort of pirate’s harbor in the middle of the ocean, this would be an excellent seed.

I noticed that some villages, like the one in this seed at coordinates X: 50 Z: -50, end up stranded too far out into the ocean. Thankfully, the island has some trees and a blacksmith, which becomes quite crucial in this limited survival setting. You can also find a small mushroom island at coordinates X: 250 Z: 250.
