Minecraft 1.20.3: Top 20 Best Seeds List

Warm Ocean Ruins in Desert

• Seed: -8630365809758316609
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -179, 98
• Biomes: Badlands, Desert, Warm Ocean

The 1.20 update for Minecraft introduced the Sniffer mob alongside the brush tool and structures used for archaeology. To get a Sniffer of your own, you’ll need to use a brush on the Suspicious Sand blocks in a Warm Ocean Ruin to discover a Sniffer Egg. The Warm Ocean in this world contains a Coral Reef filled with many Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks. Excavate all of them to gather Sniffer Eggs, which can then be hatched to obtain precious Sniffers.

• Seed: -7501621712754707723
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: -31, 6
• Biomes: Deep Dark, Grove, Jagged Peaks

This snowy world combines the best of Minecraft 1.19’s Ancient Cities with the Trail Ruins from version 1.20 to create a wonderful seed for budding archaeologists. The Grove and Taiga biomes on the surface contain two Trail Ruins structures that can be searched for ancient relics. Similarly, the area beneath these biomes is home to the Deep Dark and a whopping seventeen Ancient Cities. In addition to the first seventeen, players may also find a few extra Ancient Cities north and south of Spawn.

Cherry Blossom Start

• Seed: 505854518102130154
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 3, -8
• Biomes: Cherry Grove, Plains, Snowy Slopes

There’s no easier way to explore the Cherry Grove biome than by spawning directly into one. This Cherry Grove is next to a ruined Nether portal and two Plains Villages, making it a great place to start a survival base. Since the portal is on a river, all you need to do is craft a bucket and fill it with lava to rebuild the rest of the portal. As a bonus, players will also find one of the new Trail Ruins structures close to Spawn.

Ancient Cities Beneath Snowy Grove

• Seed: 4277232635552927887
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 10, 21
• Biomes: Deep Dark, Grove, Snowy Plains

Players entering this world will be dropped into a large Grove biome home to four Ancient Cities. A small ruined Nether portal next to Spawn will serve as an easy source of materials, but any other supplies will need to be gathered and crafted by hand. If the cities prove to be too much trouble, take a break and head west to explore some Cold Ocean Ruins or south for a Trail Ruins structure.

Four Trail Ruins

• Seed: -6747638023598775369
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 0, -1
• Biomes: Birch Forest, Old Growth Pine Taiga, Taiga

If you’re trying to get every single new item available in Minecraft 1.20’s Trail Ruins, you’ll need to excavate as many ruins as possible. This seed will give you easy access to four unique Trail Ruins structures. Players will also have access to a ruined Nether portal, a Pillager Outpost, and two Ancient Cities in the same area. Those looking to gather ocean ruins-specific archaeology items will find a few Cold Ocean Ruins in the ocean to the north.

Long Cherry Grove

• Seed: -6610161153824010986
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Cherry Grove, Plains, Savanna

If you’re looking to live a life of luxury between pink petals and buzzing honeybees, the Cherry Grove biome is the place you’ll want to be. Players will spawn next to a small one in this biome, but I recommend walking 100 blocks to the west to enter a much larger one. Walk all the way to its western edge to discover a Plains Village and a Savanna Village. As a bonus, players exploring underground in this area have a chance to find an Ancient City.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village: -838, 14
Savanna Village: -920, -440
Ancient City: -616, -42, 128

Desert Blacksmith behind a Desert Temple

• Seed: 1136635531160751101
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Coral Reef, Desert

A Desert Temple has appeared in the center of a Desert Village. The inside of the temple is dark, allowing monsters to spawn and terrorize the villagers. Luckily, you can solve this problem by crafting a few torches and lighting up the temple. The villagers will gladly reward your aid by allowing you to take weapons and armor from their Blacksmith’s chest. If you want to explore the new archaeology functions introduced by the 1.20 update, use the village as a waypoint and swim into the ocean to excavate a few Warm Ocean Ruins.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Desert Temple: 120, 98
Desert Temple in Desert Village: -455, -246
Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster 1: -296, -616

Coastal Archaeology

• Seed: -5173854827363161400
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 43, 34
• Biomes: Beach, Jungle, Lukewarm Ocean, Plains

Java players can explore the best of Minecraft archaeology in this seed. The Jungle along the coast is home to a set of Trail Ruins, while the Lukewarm Ocean surrounding it contains four different Warm Ocean Ruins structures close to the coast. Having so many Warm Ocean Ruins will make it easy for players to gather all of the treasures specific to the Warm Ocean Ruins, ranging from Sniffer Eggs to special armor trims.

Trail Ruins 83, 108
Shipwreck 1: 133, 12

Trail Ruins by ruined Nether portal

• Seed: 8202403306876455714
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Birch Forest, Forest

Excavating a set of Trail Ruins is the best way to get the Minecraft 1.20 experience. You’ll find this set of Trail Ruins next to a ruined Nether portal, only a few hundred blocks from Spawn. The hill they rest on should contain enough copper to craft brushes, so you’ll only need to worry about getting feathers from wild chickens.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Trail Ruins: -355, 109
Ruined Nether Portal: -332, 101

Triple Plains Village at Spawn

• Seed: -849592212668084887
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 17, -1
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

Spawn in a river-filled canyon with a Plains Village in this seed. Climbing out of the canyon reveals two more villages, including one with a Blacksmith. Travel to either the mountain to the southeast or the mountain range to the south to have access to an Ancient City and a few Trail Ruins.

Key Locations and their Coordinates

Coral Reef ruins

• Seed: -4691682503858358371
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: -203, 149
• Biomes: Coral Reef, Desert

Warm Ocean Ruins were finally given more use in Minecraft 1.20 through the addition of archaeology. When you spawn into this Desert, you’ll be next to a giant Warm Ocean with an expansive Coral Reef and plenty of Warm Ocean Ruins. There are three Warm Ocean Ruin clusters between the continent’s shore and a small Desert island, a few single ruins between those, and even more clusters to the southeast. I recommend visiting the Desert Village on the mainland first to loot a Blacksmith for some iron gear.

Desert Village: -548, 188
Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster 1: -249, 40
Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster 2: 74, -280

Twin village island

• Seed: 200520362903
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 8, 30
• Biomes: Plains, Savanna, Ocean

This island at Spawn is home to both a Plains Village and a Savanna Village. Next to it is a tiny Plains island with an exposed shipwreck on top of it. The closest Ocean Monument is in sight from the island’s shore, but you’ll also find another one by the Mushroom Island in the northwest part of the ocean.

• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Snowy Plains, Taiga

This world puts you directly in the middle of four different villages, three Taiga and one Snowy. The second Taiga Village is home to a set of Trail Ruins, while the third is near a Dripstone Cave. There’s no better way to prepare for an adventure than by traveling around to all four of these villages and gathering as many resources as you can carry.

Taiga Village 2: -336, 206

Spawn Woodland Mansion by Lush Cave ravine

• Seed: 79832131450984
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -2, -74
• Biomes: Dark Forest, Lush Cave

Here’s a truly unique seed that spawns you between a Woodland Mansion and a gigantic ravine. The Woodland Mansion is in a canyon, causing part of it to extend into the walls of the ravine. This makes the Mansion much easier to take on since you can climb onto the roof and use its windows to enter specific rooms. If you choose to enter the ravine, you’ll find that it’s home to both a Lush Cave and an Ancient City.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Lush Cave ravine: -5, -100
Woodland Mansion: 19, -11
Ancient City: 122, -42, 16

Stony Shores Mansion

• Seed: 3263445322383970952
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Dark Forest, Stony Shores

This Woodland Mansion stands on a Stony Shores biome next to a small Ocean. While the Mansion is already a lucky find, the true heart of this seed is the Stony Shores in front of it. It is home to 12 different chests of buried treasure, giving you plenty of rewards like diamonds and Hearts of the Sea. You’ll also find a few more chests beneath the beaches east of the Mansion and the Stony Shores to the south.

Plenty of Plains Villages

• Seed: 8593557941104223674
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 9, 7
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

Plains Villages are abundant in this Minecraft world. You’ll spawn between two with another pair of villages to the north and various other villages scattered around the east and the south. By exploring the caves around the area, you’ll come across a unique Ancient City. The portal at its center has generated in a pool of lava, causing lava to flow over the city’s main streets.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village 1: 40, 111

Separated island villages

• Seed: -1502712248922400416
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 712, -295
• Biomes: Beach, Plains, Sparse Jungle

Two Plains Villages make their home on this survival island. They were likely built so far apart because of disagreements between the villagers, but each provides plenty of materials necessary for survival. Make peace between the villagers and combine their towns to live a comfortable island life. The main continent is close to the island if you ever tire of this seed’s ocean view.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Plains Village 1: 790, -361
Plains Village 2: 1,169, -470

Taiga Village’s Mansion

• Seed: 36674918975
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -4, -6
• Biomes: Taiga, Meadow

This Woodland Mansion was generated at the tip of a Dark Forest by Spawn, causing it to merge with a Taiga Village. On first glance, the village seems to have been built around the Mansion. However, exploring the Mansion reveals that parts of the town have developed inside the Mansion, making for a truly unique experience. Players exploring deeper into the Taiga biome will find Trail Ruins and an ocean with Cold Ocean Ruins.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Taiga Village: -10, 36
Woodland Mansion: 20, 31
Trail Ruins: 323, 287

Hilltop ruins

• Seed: -2229091219040522213
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: -15, 99
• Biomes: Jungle

One fun and creative way to play with the Trail Ruins added in Minecraft 1.20 is to fully excavate them so they can be seen from the surface. Since this ruin structure is on top of a hill, it will be much easier and safer to excavate than ruins that extend deep into the ground. Next to Spawn and the Trail Ruins is a ruined Nether portal. The portal’s chest contains a few obsidian, so all you need to do is collect one additional obsidian block and a flint-and-steel to repair it.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Ruined Nether portal: 3, 65
Trail Ruins: 62, 95

Two Temple Desert Village

• Seed: 44226009645

A Desert Village, a Desert Temple, and a Jungle Temple can all be found at Spawn. This is a truly wonderful seed, even if you’re not a fan of Desert biomes. You’ll have immediate access to all of the loot in these structures, as well as Pandas from the Jungle biome.

Key Locations and their Coordinates
Desert Village: -1, 16
Desert Temple: 25, 10
Jungle Temple: 69, 5
