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.

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. The neighboring Cherry Grove is home to the world’s spawn with a second Ancient City beneath its surface. Both cities are found within Dripstone Caves and feature a chest in the center containing a golden apple.

- 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.

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.

- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Slopes
The villagers residing in this Snowy Village live every day carefully 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.

A small Plains biome in the center of these gravelly hills has allowed a Plains Village to spawn on top of them. While it doesn’t have a Blacksmith, the many ores in the neighboring Windswept Hills biome more than make up for it. Cross the water north of the village to find a Pillager Outpost and a second Plains Village with a Blacksmith.

This world begins on a frozen river next to a Snowy village and an igloo with a basement. If you go north, soon you’ll see another village on the hill above the river. I was surprised to find another igloo with a basement here, plus a set of Trail Ruins. That’s a lot of good loot right at Spawn!

- Biomes: Plains
What could be better than spawning between the two plains villages? Well, one of them could have a blacksmith, which is exactly the case with this seed.

If you think that starting the game with a blacksmith is cheating, then here’s a seed for hardcore survival enthusiasts. You’ll spawn in a tiny village with only a few huts that stands right next to a zombie village. There’s no blacksmith here to help you craft armor and weapons, so you’ll have to use torches and handcrafted weapons to scare the zombies 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. After looking around, you’ll discover two more villagers around the same patch. This makes the whole seed much more rewarding, especially since the rest of the Desert has many other enticing structures.

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.

Villages rarely spawn in such an exotic location as a Jungle. However, in this seed you get two villages with Trail Ruins near a Jungle biome.

The best sources of loot in Snowy biomes are typically igloos with basements. Fortunately, this seed starts you off in a Snowy Village containing one of these igloos! It blends in with the rest of the village, but you can easily tell its interior apart from the other igloos in the village. Unlike most other igloos with basements, this one has a slightly more hidden basement. You’ll need to break some of the dirt blocks on the floor to find it.

When the ocean begins breaking apart into tall icebergs, you’ll be able to see a hidden Ocean Monument at the edge of the ocean’s surface.

If you need help with that, check out the hidden chests in the nearby Desert Temple
