Not only do you start out next to a nice little village with lots of resources, but there’s a perfect dungeon right beneath it for you to work toward. Just dig straight down from spawn and you can’t miss it.
Spawn near a village with a ravine running through it
-5599655086621954440
This is a golden opportunity to set up a legitimate mining town — the ravine runs right through the middle of a village at spawn! You can set up some kind of scaffolding or dig a big pit, but this gets you started finding ore and coal right from the start.
Spawn on a survival island with an iron mine

This is a unique challenge for survival-oriented miners — a survival island with just enough resources to get by and an iron mine in the center. There are plenty of places to expand to, or you can just create a little island kingdom from what you have!
Spawn near two ravines and a village
Deadpool
For this seed, you start on a hill, and just down in the valley is the first ravine — behind that is another one and a village, which also happens to have a skeleton spawner beneath it! There’s plenty to be dug up, so get digging!
Spawn next to a village and a natural cave
Village
