Minecraft 1.17 update has been in development since November last year, and it still needs some work before all the elements will be ready for the official launch.
In the meantime, Nether Update has been doing really well in terms of reviving the good old nether world, which has been almost forgotten prior to the release of Minecraft 1.16.
The 1.16.5 version, although overstaying its welcome a bit too long, does still have a few exciting areas to explore, especially within the nether realm.
This month's draft of the best Minecraft seeds will show you where to find all the finest locations.

The temple has a secret of its own - a complete stronghold right underneath it at coordinates 1200, 750.
The stronghold can be seen exposed in the underground ravine, which makes it easily accessible from above.

Coordinates: -100, 50
Biomes: Taiga, Forest
There is a double spider dungeon right under the spawn, although quite deep, at coordinates -150, 11, 80. Still, this is so rare that you definitely need to take your chances.
Also, at coordinates 50, -300, there is a taiga village to help you with tools and other equipment. It's very close to spawn, so you shouldn't miss it.
Seed: 5149497532123199246
Coordinates: -200, -50
Biomes: Plains, Ice Spikes
You will spawn in a village that stands very close to another one that occupies a rather big chunk of ice spikes biome at coordinates -200, -200.

This can be a great challenging seed for all hardcore players!

Island village with blacksmith at spawn!
Being secluded on an island is already a hard task, but when it's surrounded by icebergs like in this case, then it gets really strenuous.
