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 generate differently on Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some of the key structures for each seed will be different.
Snowy Beach Island Cave
Seed: -6695237062269513738
A Snowy Beach island is already a rarity, but this one goes a step further by having a large cave beneath it! The island spans out from a Frozen Ocean into a Cold Ocean. While there aren't any trees, the grassy part of the island supplies players with animals for food and sugarcane.

Bad Islands
Seed: -7286172550300464384
This section of Badlands has separated itself from the mainland, turning into a Badlands island. Bedrock players will find a Desert Village on the far end of the island, but Java players will have to explore the mainland for the same structure. The mix of Badlands and Stony Shores is sure to bring inhabitants lots of precious minerals during their stay on the island.

Ocean Ruin Isle
Seed: -8880476802465753893
This island is exclusive to Bedrock players, but it was so unique that I couldn't pass it up! A large Warm Ocean Ruins structure has made its home on the island. The grassy floor of the island has turned to sand beneath the structure. This gives players extra chances to brush suspicious sand for rare archeological treasures. Java players have their own large Warm Ocean Ruin structure nearby as well.

One Hill Island
Seeds: fish
Spawn is set on a unique island with one towering Windswept spire. The island is a mix of Swamp, Forest, Plains, and Windswept biomes. Java players have access to multiple ocean ruins and shipwrecks while Bedrock players will have buried treasure chests scattered across the island. If you're going to be stranded alone on an island, this is a good one to shipwreck on.

Mooshroom County
Seeds: -5468129729904115909
A list of the best Island seeds in Minecraft is never complete without a Mushroom Island. This one is huge and rests only a short boat ride from the mainland. The surrounding ocean is filled with structures for players of both versions. However, Bedrock players will have a head start as they spawn next to a Plains Village.

Gravelly Coral Islands
Seeds: 4498626964041084395
A spectacular view is created through the combination of the bright orange Badland islands and the rainbows of the nearby Coral Reef. Bedrock players will find lots of buried treasure on these islands, while Java players must stick to ocean structures for loot. Don't worry about not having enough resources as a Wooded Badlands biome is a short swim away.

Starter Island
Seed: 3330413126788890261
Bedrock and Java players alike can enjoy this simple starter island. Both versions will have a Plains Village on the island, giving players access to different variations of the same resources. Java players will have a Cold Ocean Ruin next to one of the village's houses, while Bedrock players will only have ruins in the ocean. By gathering these resources and putting in a little hard work, players can create an island base to be proud of.

Bamboo Island
Seed: -1332595382801481049
You'll have no excuses for not using the new bamboo blocks on this pretty Jungle island. Bamboo covers the eastern half of the island, with regular jungle trees taking over the western half. The short distance from the mainland prevents you from feeling too isolated while playing. However, it's just far enough that you can feel free enough to do whatever you'd like.

Sinking Sands
Seed: 1399276471069516460
This sandy island is beginning to sink beneath the waters around it. To make sure you survive, you'll need to scavenge the nearby shipwrecks and ruins for enough supplies to build a boat and return to the mainland. You could also choose to build a floating base near the sinking island if you want to live in the seas. Whatever you do, make sure to work quickly to avoid a watery demise.

Tall Forest Isle
Seed: 3111100868843367578
This world begins on top of this tall, forested island surrounded by kelp forests. While it's easy to jump from the top to get water and fish, it's much harder to return to where you started. The hollow insides of the island would make the perfect place for a secret base. If you prefer a more detailed, larger-than-life build, I'd recommend using the island as the foundation for a giant tower rising out of the sea.

Miner's Dream Island
Seed: -1352532181034034946
This island is riddled with precious coal and iron veins, making it the perfect starting point for those who love mining! A small cave at the front of the island tunnels towards its center, serving as a great spot to start a mining operation. After gathering the island's ores, dig a staircase down into the depths to see what other treasures await. The mainland containing trees is easily accessible from this island, so you won't need to worry about not having enough resources.

Darkwoods Island
Seed: -1025532512765582542
Darkwoods Island's name comes from the spruce and dark oak trees it naturally grows. Bedrock players will be able to find buried treasure on its shores, while Java players will have more luck in exploring the surrounding ocean. What makes the ocean this island resides in extra special is the many mushroom islands scattered throughout it! A large one can be found to the northeast, a set of four can be found due east, and a small mushroom island can be discovered by heading south.

Starter Island Duo
Seed: -3988916762989759056
This pair of islands is perfect for any newcomer to island-based survival. They consist of Savanna, Forest, and Beach biomes, with the left island spawning plenty of animals and the right island containing trees necessary for survival. Players of both versions of the game will be able to find an Ocean Monument nearby. Additionally, Java players will have a large cluster of Cold Ocean Ruins and a shipwreck while Bedrock players will have a single large Cold Ocean Ruin and a ruined portal.

Dark and Stony Seas
Seed: 5949359685621468681
This giant island contains unimaginable treasures and resources! It is made largely of a Dark Forest biome alongside a snowy mountain, Stony Shores, and smaller Birch Forest biomes. The surrounding waters contain smaller islands with Forest and Jungle biomes, so you'll never be without wood and other necessary materials. As a bonus for Bedrock players, one of the nearby islands contains a unique, ruins-like structure unlike anything I've seen before.

Seed: 2709302057366335076
If you hate sand but love the ocean, this is the perfect seed to play on. The shores of this island are entirely stone and other mineable materials with not a speck of sand in sight above the water. The center of the island is filled with grass and trees, so you'll have no problem spawning animals and farming food.

Coral Islet
Seed: 7689508693512220484
This seed starts players off on a lovely Desert island in the center of a Warm Ocean. The only landmasses nearby are other Desert islands, so getting wood from shipwrecks is a must. In Java Edition, a Desert Village can be found on the spawn island. In Bedrock Edition, you'll need to travel east to get to the island containing a Desert Village. With the nearby ocean filled with treasures and multiple islands to explore, this seed is perfect for a casual seafaring life.

Hilltop and Stonetop Islands
Seed: -7715843136369413760
For a perfect co-op island survival, look no further than this seed! It's especially perfect if your duo consists of one player who likes mining and spelunking and a second player who enjoys farming and building. The Hilly island provides plenty of trees, seeds, and animals to help you build a base as well as a consistent food supply. Additionally, the Stony Shores island a short distance away provides you with easy access to ores like coal and iron.
