Just a few weeks after the release of the official Minecraft 1.20 update, Mojang released update 1.20.1 primarily to fix issues associated with Minecraft Realms. This list contains our selection of the top seeds for Minecraft 1.20.1 that cover all the new features of the Trails & Tails update.

Best Minecraft 1.20.1 Seeds List

Five Taiga Villages, Four Trail Ruins

• Seed: -2183679750233637484
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Snowy Taiga, Taiga, Windswept Taiga

Most of the Taiga Villages in this world exist near a set of Trail Ruins. Since Taiga Villages are much easier to see than Trail Ruins, players can find and excavate ruins more quickly than if they were searching blindly. If you find yourself in need of more resources, there is a Plains biome to the south with even more villages. There are also a few additional Trail Ruins scattered around the outskirts of the Taiga biome.

• Seed: -84700108653907414
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -5, 0
• Biomes: Grove, Jagged Peaks, Snowy Slopes, Taiga

Lush Caves are the most beautiful biome Minecraft players will never see above ground. The part of the world above this large Lush Cave is covered in a snowy mountain range. While in the mountains and the surrounding Taiga, players can visit a set of Trail Ruins and a Taiga Village. After adventuring underground, there will be opportunities to explore this Lush Cave and an Ancient City with a mineshaft.

Snowy Village by Floating Shipwreck

• Seed: -6426414794943107855
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: -90, 32
• Biomes: Frozen Ocean, Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Taiga

While this Snowy Village is a 300-block walk from Spawn, its surroundings make it more than worth the journey. The village itself gives players a bed, plenty of food, and villagers to trade with. A nearby cave gives players easy access to stone and ores, and the neighboring Pillager Outpost has its own loot and Pillagers to fight for experience. One unique structure in the area is a shipwreck in the Frozen Ocean. It actually floats above the ocean, which makes it a good foundation for a base.

• Seed: 4372475854472305354
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -7, 151
• Biomes: Desert, Mangrove Swamp, Windswept Savanna

A series of Desert Villages and Desert Temples have been built around the Mangrove Swamp in the heart of this Desert. Several of the villages are home to blacksmiths, who will help you get strong equipment in your first days of survival. Be careful traveling around the eastern side of the Mangrove Swamp, as it is also home to a Pillager Outpost. Anyone looking for more resources than the first few villages can provide should travel northwest, deeper into the Desert to find more than four additional villages.

• Biomes: Dark Forest, Old Growth Birch Forest, Ocean, Plains

When it comes to Woodland Mansions, two will always be better than one. This seed is home to two Woodland Mansions, each filled to the brim with mobs and treasure. While you will need to spend time traveling to each Mansion, the path to each one is littered with Plains Villages, ruined Nether portals, and a few other structures. Visiting all of these structures along the way will make taking down the monsters in each Woodland Mansion a breeze.

Cherry Grove at Spawn

• Seed: 6139114308887857248
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -9, -4

The Cherry Grove was originally added to Minecraft in version 1.20, so a 1.20 seeds list just isn’t complete without one. In this world, players will spawn in a small Cherry Grove biome next to a much larger one. There is one Plains Village next to the smaller grove, plus two Plains Villages and a ruined Nether portal around the larger Cherry Grove. Any aspiring archaeologists who want to test the full extent of the 1.20 update can travel south to a large Taiga biome with three villages and four Trail Ruins to excavate.

• Seed: 5392394468947531634
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: -17, 68
• Biomes: Dark Forest, Meadow, Plains

Blacksmiths are often one of the most valued members of a Minecraft village, especially at the start of a survival world. This world has a Plains Village with a blacksmith on a hill next to a Dark Forest. The blacksmith’s chest contains two pieces of iron armor, plus extra iron that can be used for tools or a pair of boots. Gathering all of the items from this chest will help you prepare to take on the Pillager Outpost near the village.

Two Java Woodland Mansions

• Seed: 7503275532796745859
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -13, 24
• Biomes: Deep Dark, Forest, Plains

Most players will only come across maybe one Woodland Mansion while exploring within 1,000 blocks of their spawn in Minecraft. This seed is a little extra special because players will have two unique Mansions within that radius. While the first doesn’t have any secret rooms, the second does contain a hidden room hiding a chest with an enchanted iron axe.

Plains Village 1: 9, -173

Trail Ruins by Desert Village

• Seed: -3241828729007335035
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Bamboo Jungle, Desert, Jungle

Since Trail Ruins only spawn in a few select biomes, it’s not common to see them in close proximity to certain structures, like Desert Villages. This seed makes that idea a reality by placing a Bamboo Jungle biome next to a large Desert. A set of Trail Ruins spawns at the edge of the Jungle, placing it nearly perfectly in front of a Desert Village. It turns the village into the perfect place to set up camp while you excavate the ruins and discover all of the treasures they are hiding.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Trail Ruins: -336, 109
Desert Village 1: -385, 124

Ten Ancient Cities

• Seed: -3249448758424184557
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 55, 0
• Biomes: Deep Dark, Frozen Peaks, Plains

Ancient Cities can be difficult to find since they are located so deep beneath the ground. This seed makes finding them easy, as the area beneath Spawn is home to a large chunk of Deep Dark biome with 10 Ancient Cities to find. Several of these cities have a chest with a gold apple at their centers, so be sure to check each thoroughly. Before heading underground to do so, make sure to stop by the closest Taiga Village to gather supplies and craft gear.

• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Deep Dark, Jagged Peaks, Jungle, Snowy Slopes

If you prefer to spend your Minecraft days exploring various structures both above and below the ground, this Minecraft seed will be a great start to your next world. You’ll spawn in a Jungle near a Plains Village and a tall Pillager Outpost on the side of a mountain. Exploring the mountains in this world will lead you to multiple Jungle Temples, a set of Trail Ruins, and several Ancient Cities. If these structures aren’t enough, players will also have the good fortune of finding a Woodland Mansion a few thousand blocks northwest of Spawn.

Mushroom Island Near Spawn

• Seed: -702095054745254142
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 222, 7
• Biomes: Mushroom Fields, Plains, Snowy Plains

A Mushroom Island floats only a few hundred blocks from Spawn in this world. Since no hostile mobs spawn on top of these islands, they’re an ideal place to craft a base. Before heading to the island, make sure to gather plenty of wood, dirt blocks, and saplings to use to set up your base. You can also travel towards a nearby Snowy Village to grab a bed and any other goodies hiding in the village’s chests. Once you have everything you need, craft a boat and set sail toward your new home.

• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 88, -104
• Biomes: Meadow, Plains

Four Plains Villages make their home in the Meadow and Plains biomes east of Spawn. Three of these villages are home to Blacksmiths, while one has a ruined Nether portal beneath a villager’s home. Looting all the Blacksmiths will give players everything they need to rebuild the portal, including some obsidian blocks and diamonds for a pickaxe. If heading to the Nether isn’t enough of a challenge, the Woodland Mansion to the west should be.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: -45, 62
• Biomes: Beach, Dark Forest, Forest, Plains

A Woodland Mansion cuts a Lukewarm Ocean in half in this Minecraft world. On the path to the Mansion, you’ll first want to stop by a Plains Village and a shipwreck. Both of these structures will help you easily gather food and useful resources to prepare you for the Mansion. After looting these, you’ll have the opportunity to explore another shipwreck and a ruined Nether portal before reaching the Mansion by the sea.

• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0

A Mangrove Swamp serves as the ideal source of wood and water in this Minecraft Desert biome.

• Seed: -1602175360196689768
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -2, -9
• Biomes: Plains, Swamp, Windswept Hills

The buildings within this Plains Village are organized uniquely due to the combination of Windswept Hills, Plains, and Swamp biomes in which the village is located. Most of the village’s structures are tightly clustered together at the bottom of a large Windswept Hill biome. Half of the village is in the Plains biome, while the other half is in the Swamp. Interestingly, one of the village’s homes has been built on the side of the Windswept Hill. It overlooks the rest of the village, making it the perfect place to call home.

Ancient Cities are the hidden highlight of this Minecraft seed. There are numerous mountains both north and east of Spawn, with each being home to at least one Ancient City.

If you need a break from the harshness of the cities, head far to the east to rest at a Plains Village.

This seed highlights the best of Minecraft’s mountains, oceans, and overworld structures. Players start their journey on a Frozen Peaks mountain with a Cherry Grove and four Ancient Cities. Before entering these cities, players can head south to visit a Plains Village on a smaller mountain. It’s the ideal place to gather supplies before embarking on the dangerous adventure underground.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: 127, -148
• Biomes: Desert, Stony Shore, Warm Ocean

Surviving on a Desert island with no trees is already a difficult task. When you add Pillagers into the mix, it can feel downright impossible! This survival island seed challenges players to survive on a Desert island with only a Pillager Outpost for company. The outpost itself is your easiest source of wood, so you’ll have to fight off Pillagers while grabbing as much of their dark oak as you can.

• Biomes: Desert, Jungle, Lush Cave

Coastlines are the best places to get the best of the land and sea in Minecraft. This ocean is home to a Coral Reef, shipwrecks, and a few Warm Ocean Ruins. Players exploring on land will have the fortune of finding a Jungle Temple next to the entrance to a Lush Cave! Further down the coastline, players will find a half-buried Desert Temple and a Desert Village as well. It’s a wonderful combination of structures that gives players plenty to do in survival mode.

This Pillager Outpost rises above even the tallest peaks of the Stony Peaks biome it resides in. It blends in with the mountainous scenery and adds a bit of danger to players’ explorations of the Savanna. If fending off Pillagers on rocky terrain isn’t exciting enough for you, players will also find three Ancient Cities hidden beneath the Savanna. One of them is conveniently located beneath the same mountain range that the Pillager Outpost rests on.

Typically, Minecraft oceans take up a lot of space. In contrast, the Cold Ocean in this seed is small and fits nicely into a Plains biome. A Beach biome surrounds it, causing turtles to spawn and swim around. The village next to this biome is home to a Blacksmith, whose chest contains some iron gear. Two other Plains Villages can be found to the northwest and southwest of the first village.
