Top 30 Best Desert Seeds in Minecraft 1.20.4

Seed: -8752047148834387726

• Spawn: X: 16 Z: -48
• Biomes: Desert, Savanna

Spawn on the border of two biomes that accommodate two villages. If you play the seed in Minecraft 1.21, then I urge you to explore the badlands area to the south, as that’s where you’ll find the entrance into the trial chamber at coordinates X: 9 Y: -23 Z: 249. Here, you’ll also find a lava pool for easy obsidian block farming and eventual teleportation into the nether.

Seed: -729037065506848293

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

It’s not always easy to find resources in the desert biome, but in this seed, you get a jungle temple right at spawn. This will make your survival game so much easier, especially if you also check out the small ravine nearby. To the south of spawn, I also found a plains village at coordinates X: -160 Z: 400, which should be of great interest to all survival enthusiasts.

Seed: 1562661671590817482

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: -32
• Biomes: Desert, Ocean

It’s always nice to spawn on the warm ocean shore; as you know, there’s always going to be a patch of coral reefs. Since the village at spawn is rather small, you can use corals to build better and bigger huts using decorative blocks from the ocean. On top of that, there’s a massive ocean monument nearby at coordinates X: 152 Z: 104, which is packed with gold blocks.

Seed: 2244692904106854354

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: 32
• Biomes: Desert

The desert village at spawn has a weaponsmith for a reason! If you look around, you’ll see a pillager outpost on top of the hill behind the village, overlooking the area. Be sure to quickly craft weapons and destroy the outpost. After that, you can enjoy this wonderful seed with the mangrove swamp biome and another village at coordinates X: -352 Z: 112.

Seed: -6504110124467450654

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: -32
• Biomes: Desert

The only sources of loot in the desert biome are desert temples. That’s why I was so happy to find not only one desert temple at spawn in the village, but also another one right behind it at coordinates X: 72 Z: -184. Together, I was able to collect eight full treasure chests of loot, which turned out to be great. Just be careful not to trigger the trap under the chests.

Seed: -513370326216616311

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: 32
• Biomes: Desert, Jungle, Badlands

Spawn on the lakeshore with a desert village that’s surrounded by badlands and jungle biomes. A little further to the north, you should find a pillager outpost at coordinates X: 128 Z: -192. I also found three jungle temples in the vicinity at coordinates X: -296 Z: -408, X: -344 Z: 312, and X: -408 Z: 792. Be sure to check them all out for lots and lots of free loot.

Seed: -4710754258587692245

• Spawn: X: 16 Z: 0
• Biomes: Desert, Jungle

The easiest way to get loot in the desert is to raid a desert temple, which appears right at spawn near a village. If you take a short stroll to the west, you’ll also find another pair of a village and a desert temple at coordinates X: -808 Z: 88. On your way there, be sure to check out a jungle temple at coordinates X: -456 Z: 168. With all the loot you get and the jungle nearby, survival will be a breeze.

Seed: 841884050907787243

• Spawn: X: 48 Z: 0
• Biomes: Desert, Jungle

If you don’t want to move too much to get loot, then here’s a desert village and a jungle temple at spawn. More than that, I found trail ruins right under the village at coordinates X: -3 Y: 68 Z: 115, and if you play in the 1.21 update of Minecraft, then you’ll also see a trial chamber under the trail ruins at coordinates X: 119 Y: -25 Z: 89. That’s four structures all in one spot!

Seed: -7323396908673963689

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

Underwater structures rarely spawn too close to other surface-level structures, but here’s one of those rare moments when an ocean monument appears right next to a desert village at spawn. Since I spawned on the ocean shore, I was hoping to find a buried treasure here, and I did eventually at coordinates X: -327 Z: -343. So be sure to loot it right away before venturing into the ocean monument.

Seed: -4756626353366457259

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

There’s always a chance to spawn next to an abandoned zombie village, but if there’s a regular village nearby, then the iron golem should protect you. That’s exactly the case in this seed, where the desert village turns out to be more valuable than the acacia one. But I also managed to spot a good acacia village a bit to the south at coordinates X: -208 Z: 592.

Seed: -350762544508857943

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

I spawned in the desert village with a half-buried desert temple in the sand dunes. Then, I noticed an acacia village nearby at coordinates X: 16 Z: -192. But I kept moving to the north, and I discovered a woodland mansion standing next to a jungle temple at coordinates X: 312 Z: -472. This is by far one of the luckiest desert Minecraft seeds I’ve ever encountered.

Seed: 898881168545507417

• Spawn: X: -32 Z: 0
• Biomes: Desert, Jungle, Mangrove Swamp

This desert Minecraft seed will spawn you in the village with a weaponsmith and a jungle temple that stands unusually close to the settlement. At coordinates X: -176 Z: -256, I found another village with a desert temple, which contains twice as much loot as the jungle temple at spawn. If you build a boat, you’ll be able to reach a mushroom island to the east at coordinates X: 864 Z: 132.

Seed: 1794963882549871162

• Spawn: X: 16 Z: -16
• Biomes: Desert, Ocean, Jungle

Desert islands are hardly suitable for survival, but if you get both a village and some trees, then it gets so much easier. In this Minecraft seed, you also get a top-tier shipwreck near spawn at coordinates X: -152 Z: 104, which contains at least three treasure chests full of loot. Lastly, the closest ocean monument that I could find is located at coordinates X: 296 Z: 72, which is surrounded by a huge patch of coral reefs.

Seed: -514254556973875478

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
• Biomes: Desert

Ravines often appear all over the desert biome, but this is the first time I’ve seen a huge ravine appear under the river at coordinates X: 312 Z: -360. There, you’ll also find a desert temple and a village. This creates a much safer way of exploring the ravine and its caves, as there’s no danger of falling down. But you do need to craft some potions to breathe under the water and explore the ravine thoroughly.

Seed: -7442885414765507053

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: 48
• Biomes: Desert, Savanna.

Spawn on an island that is 50% savanna and 50% desert. The latter biome also has a village, and there’s also a pillager outpost nearby at coordinates X: -192 Z: 32. If you’re tight on loot, then head over to coordinates X: -456 Z: 328, where you’ll find a jungle temple. But there are also some trail ruins underneath at coordinates X: -354 Y: 68 Z: 398. This should be more than enough to start your survival game on a strong footing!

Seed: 545481499202

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Desert, Jungle.

Raiding a temple is a tremendous opportunity, but getting two or even three temples at spawn is a jackpot. At coordinates X: 100 Z: 150, there’s a desert temple with a village, and at coordinates X: 350 Z: 50, there’s another temple with an exposed ruined portal.

Seed: -7979707497044760882

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Desert.

Underground structures, like zombie dungeons, hardly ever spawn on the surface. One such uncovered dungeon can be seen directly beneath the desert village at coordinates X: 550 Z: 150. It’s a mob farming facility as well as a quick loot source.

Seed: 3201901650831491932

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: -50
• Biomes: Various.

This seed will be a great help if you want a wide range of biomes with unique village layouts and bare terrain. I found an exposed shipwreck here and lush caves that open out next to the village at coordinates X: 150 Z: 50. The remaining topography is made up of several biomes, such as badlands, forests, jungles, and deserts.

Seed: 1002143034020199411

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Desert, Ocean

There are three islands in this seed, and you’ll spawn on one of them. Each island has a village. The first one also features a pillager outpost and a desert temple. The second one is located at coordinates X: -450 Z: -200, and the third one is visible at coordinates X: 650 Z: 650.

Seed: 462057889715

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Mangrove Swamp, Desert

This seed makes the tiny village at spawn look like an island in a green sea, but it’s actually a small patch of desert biome lost in the middle of the giant mangrove swamp. It will take you an entire 500 blocks before you reach any of the edges of this massive biome. So build yourself a sturdy boat and travel on!

Seed: 18692533

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: -50
• Biomes: Mangrove Swamp, Desert, Ocean

If you enjoy unique settings, check out this Minecraft seed for a desert village on a mangrove island surrounded by coral reefs at spawn. Note that this is a truly isolated spawn, and there’s nothing except salty water for many hundreds of blocks. The closest village on the mainland can be seen at coordinates X: -750 Z: -800.

Seed: -6182176112093490089

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: -50
• Biomes: Badlands, Desert

Arguably, the hardest biome to survive in is the badlands, but add a desert biome to the mix, and the stakes quickly rise. But you can ease your gameplay by traveling to coordinates X: 300 Z: -750, where you’ll find a village on the border of badlands and desert. It’ll give you some solid support, for sure.

Seed: 536559162546858287

• Spawn: X: -150 Z: 250
• Biomes: Desert, Ocean

Although it’s always possible to spawn in the middle of the ocean, it’s considerably harder to spawn on an island. Here, you spawn next to a desert island village at coordinates X: 150 Z: 250 that has a surface shipwreck stuck amidst the huts. But we’re not complaining, as additional loot is always welcome.

Seed: -6568528670469225251

• Spawn: X: 150 Z: 300
• Biomes: Various

This is the ideal survival seed, as it spawns you close to a village surrounded by a diverse range of biomes, such as plains, jungles, deserts, badlands, and forests. I also found an ancient city at coordinates X: 200 Z: 600, and trail ruins at coordinates X: 750 Z: 250.

Seed: 712225023315282

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Desert

Spawn on the lakeshore in the middle of a desert with a zombie village stuck there. The lake is pretty deep, and there’s also a normal village nearby at coordinates X: 50 Z: -250. If you need loot, travel eastwards to coordinates X: 350 Z: -300 for a nice desert temple.

Seed: -8167892851092212087

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Desert

The collision of two structures is one of the rarest bugs in Minecraft, and this seed has exactly that. Go to coordinates X: -200 Z: -350 to see it. Fortunately, there are also two villages nearby at coordinates X: -450 Z: -250 and X: 150 Z: -250.

Seed: 51136579215

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Badlands, Desert

Some seeds are so great that you don’t even mind if they present a challenge. That’s the case with this seed that spawned me right in the badlands crater with a desert village on the bottom. That’s a really unique situation, and be sure that there’s nothing else around for many hundreds of blocks. So, while it may be beautiful, it’s also tricky to survive!

Seed: 1002143106227712104

• Spawn: X: 50 Z: -100
• Biomes: Jungle, Desert, Ocean

What truly grabbed my attention as I spawned on this beautiful survival island with a desert village was the nearby pillager outpost on a tiny neighboring island. It’s really unusual how sometimes Minecraft distributes structures, creating the most exciting gameplay scenarios.

Seed: -1369260949505194597

• Spawn: X: 100 Z: -100
• Biomes: Various

A village in the badlands and a desert well await you as you spawn at coordinates X: 304 Z: -304 and an ocean monument in the lake at coordinates X: 152 Z: 88. Additionally, there’s an exposed mineshaft near spawn and another village at coordinates X: -208 Z: -304.

Seed: 4203743718873790226

• Spawn: X: -50 Z: 50
• Biomes: Various

While it’s possible to locate one or two villages in the same biome at spawn, it’s not common to see three villages spread across various biomes. Fortunately, seeds like this do exist, and I strongly recommend checking them out. There are also trail ruins really close at coordinates X: 248 Z: 136.
