![Exposed dungeon and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-1.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -32 Z: -32
- Biomes: Plains, Snowy Slopes
Often, you need to dig so deep and so wide to find one dungeon that it almost feels like a waste. But in this seed, you’ll find an exposed dungeon right under the village at coordinates X: 144 Z: 96. You don’t even need to use your shovel or pickaxe once, but be careful not to get damaged by the spider mobs. Also, take note of the pillagers hanging around at coordinates X: 144 Z: 288.
Seed: -2529676951444153829
![Woodland mansion and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-2.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Forest, Taiga
Here’s one of the most unusual woodland mansions I’ve ever seen in Minecraft. This one has no auxiliary floor and a plain flat roof with only two floors. At spawn, you’ll also find a small taiga village and a trial chamber right under the mansion at coordinates X: 71 Y: -16 Z: 119. If you need even more loot, be sure to dig up some trail ruins at coordinates X: 286 Y: 98 Z: 46.
Seed: -5663116289265298829
![Jungle temple and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-3.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Desert, Jungle
Here’s the easiest loot grab you’ll ever get in the survival game. Spawn right next to a village with a jungle temple and trail ruins at coordinates X: 189 Y: 73 Z: 93. If you’re not a fan of desert villages, move a bit to the west for a nice plains village at coordinates X: -256 Z: 0. It’s really close and won’t take much time to find.
Seed: 5176692077726563651
![Ocean monument and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-4.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -128 Z: 16
- Biomes: Plains, Ocean
There’s something particularly romantic when you spawn on an uninhabited island, but it’s not very practical in terms of survival. So here’s an island spawn that has a village, an exposed shipwreck, and an ocean monument full of gold blocks nearby. But be sure to store up some milk or tame a few axolotls to prevent the mining fatigue caused by the guardians.
Seed: 2088640280999619275
![Desert temple and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-5.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Desert, Jungle, Ocean
Spawn on a fantastic ocean shore with a busy village, a desert temple, a weaponsmith, and a whole coastline made of coral reefs. To infuse some challenge into this heavenly sight, check out the area under the temple for a trial chamber at coordinates X: 103 Y: -23 Z: 105. Note that the secret fosee with the four chests inside the temple should help you reach the trial chamber easily.
Seed: -2032795982907864146
![Cherry grove and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-1.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -96 Z: -48
- Biomes: Plains, Cherry Grove
Spawn on the lakeshore surrounded by cherry blossom cliffs and occupied by a hillside village. The lake in the center is rather deep, with a surprising trial chamber underneath it at coordinates X: 103 Y: -13 Z: 55, if you play in 1.21 version. But be careful leaving the lake premises, as there’s a pillager outpost right outside the cherry grove at coordinates X: -240 Z: 16. Don’t let those pesky pillagers startle you!
Seed: 7856504993514812457
![Exposed shipwreck in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-2.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 64 Z: 48
- Biomes: Plains, Swampland
Sometimes I find the strangest things in Minecraft! Typically, shipwrecks appear in the ocean, on ocean shores, or on survival islands. But in this particular seed, it decided to spawn in a swamp at coordinates X: 200 Z: -200, which is definitely unusual. This area also seems to be oddly desolate, as I couldn’t find a single village within a 500-block radius. However, I did eventually find one at coordinates X: 864 Z: 896.
Seed: -4760496665837836102
![Ring mountain and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-3.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: -272
- Biomes: Meadow, Forest, Jagged Peaks
One of the safest places to set up your base in Minecraft is the ring mountain. It surrounds a relatively flat patch of land, letting no mobs enter those premises. In this seed, I spotted a village inside such a ring mountain at coordinates X: 272 Z: -1,456. It’ll take you some time to reach the spot, but it’s worth it for all the comfort of the jagged peaks. Also, be sure to explore the ancient city under the mountain at coordinates X: 408 Y: -51 Z: -1,352.
Seed: 9024948858557455374
![Ice spikes and village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-4.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 16 Z: -48
- Biomes: Plains, Ice Spikes, Cherry Grove
I rarely find ice spikes biome these days, but this seed took me by surprise with its weird combination of cherry blossom trees and frozen peaks, as well as the village sitting right between them at coordinates X: 352 Z: -448. There’s another village further to the east at coordinates X: 736 Z: -464 with a trial chamber underneath it at coordinates X: 711 Y: -31 Z: -439.
Seed: -5392584253717525840
![Spiky mountain in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-5.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Taiga, Jagged Peaks
Here, I spawned on the bottom of an exposed dripstone cave with incredibly tall spikes that reach way over the jagged peaks. The best part about this seed is that this cave will lead you straight to the ancient city at coordinates X: 8 Y: -51 Z: 8. Typically, you see such world generation only in Large Biomes mode, but this seed doesn’t require it at all.
Seed: 566554457196
![Double cherry village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-05.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Cherry Grove, Plains, Forest
This Minecraft seed will spawn you right in the middle of the gorgeous cherry grove patch. To my surprise, I discovered that there are two villages here, and the one in the cherry grove even has a blacksmith. When I was exploring the northern area of this seed, I spotted a third village in the middle of the meadow at coordinates X: -400 Z: -320.
Seed: 857963114855
![Cliff village over lake in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-01.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -16 Z: -48
- Biomes: Plains
Spawn on the lakeshore with a fantastic view over a village that’s been spread out all over the cliffside. There’s a blacksmith in this village who will help you craft all the necessary tools for survival. But be careful, as there’s a pillager outpost not too far away at coordinates X: 128 Z: -144. If you go further to the south, you’ll encounter another village at coordinates X: -224 Z: 208.
Seed: -2295595817529477063
![Taiga village in the middle of swampland in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-04.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 16 Z: 80
- Biomes: Taiga, Swampland
Everybody knows that villages don’t spawn in swampy areas. But I managed to find this rare patch of taiga in the center of the swampland that has a village at coordinates X: 704 Z: 672. This is definitely very unusual, but once you get there, you’ll probably want to stay and make a nice base here. Also, this is one of the only places where you can get the Mending enchantment.
Seed: 3413629292248615429
![Underground water well in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-03.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 32 Z: -16
- Biomes: Desert, Jungle
This Minecraft seed has a nice surprise not far from the spawning point: an underground water well that is protected by the iron golem himself. To find this rare structure, you need to travel to coordinates X: 80 Z: -288. There, you’ll find a crack in the ground, which will lead you straight to the underground water well. If you’re looking for something a bit less extravagant, then check out a jungle village at coordinates X: 192 Z: 144.
Seed: 3875371677242777674
![Hillside village with blacksmith in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-02.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 16 Z: 16
- Biomes: Plains
Once I spawned at the river and the base of the cliff, I saw a blacksmith’s hut right in front of me. Then I looked up and saw an entire village occupying a cliffside. If you continue traveling further to the south, you can raid an ancient city at coordinates X: 56 Y: -51 Z: 456. Just be sure to craft good armor and weapons to survive the raid.
Seed: 1040934860
![Desert island village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-02.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -112 Z: -128
- Biomes: Desert, Badlands, Ocean
Spawn on top of a massive badlands island with a large desert village on top of it. But this is the wooded badlands variant, which is covered in trees. The island is surrounded by a warm ocean, which produces a rich coral reef at its base. When exploring the island, I discovered that it’s actually hollow inside, with lush caves spreading everywhere. The nearest ocean monument that I could find is located at coordinates X: -200 Z: -744.
Seed: 1000000000017567643
![Cherry grove village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-04.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Plains, Cherry Grove
Once you spawn, walk southward to coordinates X: -272 Z: 352, where you’ll find a village on the bottom of a large crater surrounded by cherry blossom trees. I also spotted another village to the east at coordinates X: 256 Z: 544, but this one isn’t as beautiful. If you like to explore the underground world, then I suggest you check out not one but three ancient cities in this area at coordinates X: 584 Y: -51 Z: 56, X: 776 Y: -51 Z: 216, and X: 808 Y: -51 Z: 424.
Seed: 795741333306778779
![Lake village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-08.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Plains, Forest
This tiny village sits on a small island in the middle of the lake at coordinates X: 224 Z: 160. There’s also an exposed ruined portal, which can take you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: 219 Z: -213. To the south of this village, I located another one that stands on the snowy slopes at coordinates X: 176 Z: 576. But there’s a pillager outpost nearby, so come in prepared to fight some pillagers.
Seed: 2645093209053901796
![Glacier village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-09.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -80 Z: 144
- Biomes: Plains, Forest, Frozen Peaks
If you don’t mind taking a short trip to the south, then I can show you a very rare village that sits on top of the frozen peak at coordinates X: 320 Z: 1,728. The village is pretty large, going all the way to the top of the hill, which is hollow inside. But you’ll also find plenty of villages around spawn if you’re not ready to traverse over a thousand blocks just yet. In particular, check out villages at coordinates X: -336 Z: 256 and X: 400 Z: 32.
Seed: 2962313470137474983
![Extremely tall witch hut in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-10.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Various
Anomalies do occur in Minecraft! Here’s an unusually tall witch hut at spawn that looks more like a tripod from The War of the Worlds. The legs are extremely tall and reach way over a hundred blocks. Note that this isn’t a Large Biomes mode or anything but an ordinary vanilla glitch. There’s another witch hut nearby at coordinates X: 184 Z: -168, but this one is perfectly normal. The nearest village can be found at coordinates X: -368 Z: 368.
Seed: 3884300698835402744
![Cliff cherry village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-12.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Plains, Forest, Cherry Grove
I spawned in the thick of the cherry blossom forest when I saw an entire village descending downhill. There’s also a huge ravine with quick access to mining resources. On the other side of the cherry grove, I located an igloo at coordinates X: -264 Z: -168, but unfortunately, it doesn’t have a basement room.
Seed: 10696049115005156
![Village with six farms in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-13.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Plains, Forest, Jungle
The village at spawn has an unusually large number of farms. But more than that, I discovered that there are at least four abandoned mineshafts right under the village at various levels of depth. This is a truly lucky find, taking into consideration that there are no other villages or sources of loot for many hundreds of blocks around spawn.
Seed: 4202707030482069714
![Village in the biome diversity in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-14.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 32
- Biomes: Various
If you enjoy a rich diversity of biomes, then I wouldn’t look any further than this seed. It offers a village with an exposed ruined portal that stands on the crossroads of such biomes as plains, jungle, desert, savanna, and badlands. There are two more villages at coordinates X: -304 Z: 48 and X: -432 Z: -384, and a desert temple at coordinates X: -328 Z: -344.
Seed: -2905666184584101000
![Lush cave mineshaft in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-16.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -48 Z: -16
- Biomes: Taiga
It’s nothing special when you find structures in unusual biomes on the surface. But when you find something like that underneath, then it’s a really rare occasion. Here, you can find an abandoned mineshaft inside a huge lush cave with waterfalls at coordinates X: 86 Z: -94. Also, don’t forget to check out two villages at coordinates X: -320 Z: -144 and X: -464 Z: 32.
Seed: -4373048530227731700
![River valley village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-18.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -48 Z: -32
- Biomes: Plains, Forest, Cherry Grove
One of my favorite locations for a village is the river valley. In this seed, I found one at spawn, and it even has a blacksmith. Another cool thing that I noticed is an exposed dripstone cave just north of spawn. This is a really great start for any survival game!
Seed: 38666859
![Windswept savanna island village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-for-april-2024-05.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 48 Z: 32
- Biomes: Windswept Savanna, Ocean
Spawn on a beautiful windswept savanna island with a large village and an exposed ruined portal at coordinates X: 168 Z: 8. Although I spawned on top of the cliff, I had no trouble going down into the village. I also discovered an ocean monument nearby at coordinates X: 360 Z: 8.
Seed: 1914824789546162560
![Super tall mansion in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-for-april-2024-04.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Forest, Swampland
Have you ever wondered if it’s possible to spawn inside a woodland mansion? The answer is yes, and the proof is this Minecraft seed. The trick is to have a super-tall mansion at spawn, which is exactly what you get here. Note that the closest village that I could find stands at coordinates X: -1,312 Z: -288.
Seed: 82944
![Coral reef island village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-for-april-2024-08.jpg)
- Spawn: X: -320 Z: 64
- Biomes: Desert, Ocean
I spawned on the ocean shore to the west of one of the most beautiful desert village islands I’ve ever seen. The reason it’s so cool and rare is the presence of the coral reefs surrounding the island at coordinates X: 720 Z: -480. If you travel in the opposite direction, you’ll spot another village at coordinates X: -1,248 Z: -144.
Seed: -6851116161706244347
![Double acacia village in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-for-april-2024-23.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 16 Z: 0
- Biomes: Mangrove Swamp, Savanna
Here’s one of my personal favorite seeds that I’ve found, which spawns you right in the thick of the mangrove swamp. But as soon as I reached its border, I stumbled upon not one but two acacia villages at coordinates X: -176 Z: 112 and X: 16 Z: 208.
Seed: 2482490754905255652
![Lava pool desert temple in Minecraft](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/top-best-minecraft-1-20-5-seeds-for-april-2024-02.jpg)
- Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
- Biomes: Desert
You’ll spawn on the edge of a deep ravine with a lava pool on the bottom and a huge surprise in the form of a desert temple. It’s funny how Minecraft generates structures at times — in some of the most unusual places. Note how an entire cavern is covered with lush greenery.
That’s it for this month’s best Minecraft 1.20.5 seeds. Check out more Minecraft guides here, including a huge catalog of awesome seeds for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch!
