- Biome: Stoney Peaks.
This seed will spawn you right on the side of a giant mountain, so watch your step! However, there’s plenty of Iron ore and Coal for you to collect, both inside and on top of the Stoney Peaks. The only downside is that you’ll have to travel a little bit to find some wood to get going.

At first glance, this MC seed might look like nothing special. You’ll quickly notice that you’ve spawned right next to a village that has multiple ravines around it. The village will provide you with tools and resources that you can use right away to explore the ravines and grab all those precious materials, like Iron.

Here, you’ll spawn right next to some houses in a village. This is always great for getting tools and resources without having to punch down a single tree. However, right behind the houses is a cave, ripe for exploring and filled with Iron ore.

- Spawn: 110, -250.
- Biome: Plains.

There’s another village close to spawn in this Minecraft seed. What makes this world perfect for mining Iron is that there’s a ravine going through the middle of the village! Just be careful walking through it, or you’ll fall. If you want to explore right away, I recommend going to the farm next to the ravine and using the water to make a waterfall to safely go up and down the cliffside.
Seed: -1895276179
- Spawn: 1, 89.

If you don’t feel like going into caves because they’re dangerous, this seed has plenty of Iron ore to mine right on the surface. You can get all the Iron and coal you need to start off right in the middle of the day, not having to worry about dangerous mobs chasing after you.
Seed: 6498999856499601911
- Spawn: -85, 64.
- Spawn Biome: Forest.
- Exposed Iron: -133, 87.
Just like the last seed, this one has Iron exposed on the surface. So no caves or climbing mountains is required. What I like most about this seed is out in the distance you can see a cliff with some lava coming down the side of it. So you can use the iron to pick up that lava as soon as you start!
