  • 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.

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

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.

  • 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

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village 1: 9, -173
Woodland Mansion 1: 511, 509
Plains Village 2: -425, -683

Trail Ruins by Desert Village

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

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.

  • 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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Snowy Village: 717, 163
Shipwreck 1: 676, 206
Mushroom Island: -169, 413
Shipwreck 2: -109, 419

Meadow Villages

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village 1: 179, 26
Plains Village 2: 204, -356
Plains Village 3: 850, -281

  • 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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village: -307, 94
Shipwreck 1: -555, 207
Ruined Nether Portal: -349, 325

Desert Mangrove Oasis

A Mangrove Swamp serves as the ideal source of wood and water in this Minecraft Desert biome. Anyone exploring the Desert will find several villages and temples outside of the Mangrove Swamp, plus one Desert Village and two Desert Temples inside it. They’ll also find a Warm Ocean west of the Mangrove Swamp, which gives players easy access to both shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Desert Village 1: 158, 234
Desert Temple 1: -471, 234

Windswept Swamp Village

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Ruined Nether Portal: 210, 36
Windswept Swamp Village: 151, 184
Witch Hut: 260, 146

Ancient Mountain Range

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. Exploring all of them should almost guarantee that players will find all of the special items that can only be found in Ancient Cities, like the Silence Armor Trim. If you need a break from the harshness of the cities, head far to the east to rest at a Plains Village.

  • Biomes: Cherry Grove, Dark Forest, Deep Dark, Frozen Peaks, Snowy Slopes

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. When you’ve had enough fun beneath the surface, head southeast to find a Woodland Mansion on this continent’s coastline. There will be a ruined Nether portal floating in front of it, plus a shipwreck a short swim east of it.

Two Plains Villages have made their homes on a pair of Meadow Mountains next to Spawn. The first village is next to a set of Trail Ruins. Beneath the Meadow Mountain containing the second village, players will find an Ancient City. It’s the perfect start for Minecraft players who want to experience a cozy life while having the option to adventure and fight in an Ancient City.

  • Seed: 2858103007025347680
  • 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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Pillager Outpost: 137, -198
Large Warm Ocean Ruins: 9, -153
Shipwreck: 457, -114

Fragmented Island

This Minecraft island has slowly shattered into multiple pieces. Players will spawn on a small section of the island next to a floating ruined Nether portal. Heading to the eastern section of the island will lead players to a Plains Village with two Blacksmiths. Their combined chests contain two diamonds, a nearly complete set of iron armor, and a few other goodies. Gather these items first, then head over to the northern portion of the island to enter a large cave system.

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Coral Reef: 108, -93
Lush Cave: 182, -303

Stony Peaks Tower

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Pillager Outpost: 470, 186

Cold Ocean Inside Plains Biome

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.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village 1: 37, -228
Plains Village 2: -129, -235

  • Biomes: Cherry Grove, Deep Dark, Forest, Stony Peaks

A zipper-shaped set of Stony Peaks mountains rests above the Ancient Cities in this seed. There are two cities beneath it, one along the mountain’s western edge and one beneath its northeastern corner. Players wanting to explore the calmer aspects of 1.20.1 can head east of Spawn to relax in two small Cherry Grove biomes.

  • Version: Java
  • Spawn: 6, 3
  • Biomes: Cherry Grove, Deep Dark, Plains, Snowy Slopes

Two Cherry Grove mountains tower above the surrounding Plains biome, each hiding an Ancient City beneath their cheery pink exterior. While both mountains are riddled with caverns, it will be easiest to do some digging of your own to reach each Ancient City. Plan the route to the first city carefully to visit a mineshaft along the way. It will help you get better prepared to explore the city and take on the Warden if you accidentally awaken it.

The Savanna Village at the edge of this peninsula is just the starting point for anyone who enters this world. A Warm Ocean surrounds the peninsula, filled with shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins. There are three Warm Ocean Ruin clusters close to the peninsula, making it easy for players to excavate them for Sniffer Eggs and other archaeological loot.

  • Version: Java
  • Spawn: 20, -433
  • Biomes: Cherry Grove, Plains, Stony Shores

When spawning into this world, Java players will find themselves on the edge of a Plains Village. Looking around the town will lead you to a lone Cherry Grove tree to its right. I recommend carefully cutting down the tree for saplings, then replanting them until you have a large farm of the trees. You can use their wood to craft a boat to survey the surrounding ocean for shipwrecks and Cold Ocean Ruins.

Important Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village: 20, -433
Singular cherry tree: 51, -526
Shipwreck: 306, -483
