Island biomes have lots of versatility, making them one of the best biomes in Minecraft. Islands can be used as an easily defendable home base for survival players, the site of a creative player's tropical-themed builds, or even as the start of an adventure-mode story.
Whatever your reason, I've put together a list of the best Minecraft Island Seeds that you can use in your next Minecraft experience!
Best Minecraft Island Seeds List (Java and Bedrock)
These are the best Island Seeds I can find for the newest version of Minecraft. It's important to mention that structures are generated differently in Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some of the key structures for each seed will be different.
Round Village Island
Seed: 1225407360159874917
While you will have to travel a bit to reach this island, its Plains Village and perfect size make it a contender on our list of the best Minecraft island worlds. In addition to the island village, Java players will have a second village on the part of the mainland almost directly behind the small island. Explore the ocean for shipwrecks and Cold Ocean Ruins if the treasure from these two structures isn't enough. Additionally, there is a Pillager Outpost along the coast north of the island if you want to take on a challenge.

Old Growth Island with Trail Ruins

An Old Growth Birch Forest covers the southern half of this island. Those who travel deeper into the island near the snowy Grove will find a set of Trail Ruins hidden beneath the island's birch trees. This goes for both Bedrock and Java players, so everyone can enjoy this island excavation equally.

Badlands Island in Coral Reef
Seed: 7619867153800490403
The orange and reds of this Badlands island contrast nicely with the ocean surrounding it. If you go underground beneath the island, you'll come across a Trial Chamber. Players who don't want to go to such lengths can stick to exploring the ocean for shipwrecks and ruins.

Frigid spikes of ice surround this island, keeping players trapped in a frozen wasteland. Luckily, you're not alone! Bedrock and Java players will have a Snowy Village on the island with them. Java players will also have a large cave to explore while Bedrock players have an additional Snowy Village a short walk away.

Mini Continent
Seed: -1804137012301392939
While this island is incredibly large compared to other islands on our list, it's small compared to the nearby continents. The island is filled with structures regardless of which version you play. Java lovers will have multiple villages, Desert Temples, Trail Ruins, and a Pillager Outpost. Bedrock players will find similar structures plus a Jungle Temple.

Heart Island
Seed: 4562068940024137064
This Birch Forest island is noticeably heart-shaped, making it a perfect start for a creative world. Remove part of the bottom of the island near the shipwreck to make its shape more pronounced. Java players will find a few small structures near Spawn while Bedrock players can access three buried treasure chests in the same area.

Coral Sands
Seed: 4910894592491893075
These sandy islands are fantastic for both Java and Bedrock players. They're surrounded by a giant Coral Reef with small Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks hidden beneath the coral. Java players have the added bonus of a Desert Village on the larger island. If you tire of these islands, travel north to arrive at a Desert or east to find a Mushroom Island.

Ombre Island
Seed: 45231019457969252
This island has a unique configuration of Savanna, Plains, and Beach biomes that turns its surface into a gradient. It's a beautiful feature that both Bedrock and Java players can enjoy freely. Likewise, all players will find to a Mushroom Island to the southwest. The major difference between the two versions is that Bedrock players will have a Savanna Village on the island while Java players will not.

Pillager Ranch
Seed: 8359615647292928787
I've never seen so many mobs gather around a Pillager Outpost! This may occur due to the limited space for mobs to spawn, but everything from Pillagers to horses and sea turtles are found on this tiny island. Take over the Outpost and convert the island into your personal ranch to raise all sorts of animals. The prevalence of mobs at the start guarantees you'll be able to gather them with little effort.

| Pillager Ranch: -760, 58, 8 | Buried Treasure: -760, 58, 8 |
Multi-Biome Cluster
Seed: -5140017210236258587
This cluster of islands is large and full of diversity. The islands start as Plains and Stony shores, then transition into Forest, Taiga, and Snowy Plains biomes. There's even a tiny, one-tree Cherry Grove biome on the island next to spawn. Java players will find a Taiga Village, a ruined portal, and two Trail Ruins. Bedrock players have better structure luck with a Pillager Outpost, three villages, and two Trail Ruins.

| Single Cherry Tree: -45, 539 | Plains Village: 170, 249 |

Adrift in the Frozen Ocean
Seed: -3845070505970885974
If ice is your thing, these snowy islands won't disappoint. Spawn is set on the largest island of the three. It is mainly a Snowy Plains biome with enough trees scattered around to get you started off right in survival mode. Java players will have a shipwreck and a Snowy Village to explore while Bedrock players will have to take to the seas to find treasure.

Mushrooms Across the Sea
Seed: 722664058627353259
As soon as you set foot in this Minecraft world, you'll see a Mushroom Island floating nearby. It's close enough that you can step on its Mycelium shores on the first day in your new world. This gives you the freedom to live on an island while exploring the main continent whenever you miss the larger world.

|---|---|
| Mushroom Island: 100, 500 | Mushroom Island: 100, 500 |
Flat Multi-Biome Island
Seed: -1253828470404393557
This world proves that a Minecraft island doesn't have to be one-note. Players wandering this lone island will find Beach, Plains, Savanna, Forest, and Jungle biomes to explore. Additionally, the ocean around the island contains Cold Ocean Ruins to the west and Warm Ocean Ruins to the east.

Wild Island Paradise
Seed: -1063190334095124429
This island is large enough to feel like its own mini continent. With its size comes a wide variety of biomes and structures to explore. The most notable of these is the Windswept biome toward the center of the island, which forms a series of caverns and coves to live in and adventure through. I highly recommend using this seed with friends as the island could easily be divided up into large sections for each player to use as they please.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Island: Spawn | Island: Spawn |
| Windswept biome: 343, -314 | Windswept biome: 343, -314 |

Coral Desert Oasis
Seed: -4233445280788269201
A Desert island in the center of a Coral Reef is the perfect starting point if you love bright colors and tropical fish and want to make the most of what you've got. A small Windswept Savanna biome on the corner of the island gives you easy access to Savanna wood, so use it carefully and make sure to gather the saplings to plant more. Java players will have two Savanna Villages on this island to explore. In contrast, Bedrock players will find a Desert Temple on the island and a Pillager Outpost guarding a Desert Village on the nearby mainland.

| Desert Coral Oasis: Spawn | Desert Coral Oasis: Spawn |

Armadillo Islet
Seed: -7030903136374644896
Armadillos are one of the cutest mobs available in Minecraft. This island gives you an up-close-and-personal look at them right from the start of your world. It also provides savanna trees for wood and pigs to use as food. A large continent lies near the island, allowing you to roam around and gather new resources easily.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |

Gravel Spire
Seed: 1591659046916903336
If you love a good challenge, I recommend trying out this gravel island seed. The island you begin on has no trees, leaving you to gather wood from the few shipwrecks in the area. The fun truly begins once you've obtained some wood and gathered the island's resources. You can stay on the island and build off it, sail the ocean, or venture to the nearby continent and attempt to climb its sheer cliffs. You're guaranteed to have an exciting adventure with whatever you choose to do.

| Shipwreck: -136, -616 | Shipwreck: -235, -499 |
