Minecraft seeds are randomly generated, so it's a given that some will be worse than others. The worst seeds range from playable but extremely challenging to completely broken.

A few of these reminded me of Minecraft survival challenges, while my number-one seed was so broken I couldn't stop laughing. For those who want a new challenge or just want to see an unbelievable world Spawn, check out the list to see the worst Minecraft seeds I could find.

8 Worst Minecraft 1.20 Seeds List

Disastrous Dark Oak

Seed: -6678128790722919845

Version: Java and Bedrock

Dark Oak is one of the most popular wood types in building. It's usually one of the first few I look for in a Minecraft world, making this seed all the more disastrous for Dark Oak fans like me. The closest Dark Forest is over 2,000 blocks away, leaving players reliant on Wandering Traders to get their hands on enough saplings to grow their own.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Dark Forest: 1,370, -1,724

No End in Sight

Seed: -5748990077365804832

Version: Bedrock

If you're like me, traveling to the Nether and End dimensions is an important part of playing a Minecraft world. This seed reduces the chances of traveling to the End due to the distance of the closest Stronghold. What makes this seed even worse is that even the closest Stronghold isn't guaranteed to have an End Portal.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Nearest Stronghold: -1,728, -1,360

Empty Plains

Seed: -8771571368360185023

Version: Java

While these Plains are pretty, aesthetics are all they have working for them. The area has no useful land-based structures, with even the closest village being over 2,000 blocks away. If you want to make an overpowered base using the Villagers' work power or just visit many structures, steer clear of this one.

Distant Stronghold

Seed: -7884142515474223399

Version: Bedrock

If you just want to go through the motions of completing the game, this is one of the last seeds you would want to end up with. The closest Stronghold is over 3,500 blocks away, with no guarantee of containing an End Portal. You could potentially have to travel 4,000 blocks or more in hopes of making it to the End. The time it takes to do so would be better spent looking for a good seed.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Closest Stronghold: -3,502, -302

No Villages

Seed: 2395371446247040456

Version: Bedrock and Java

This seed is great in terms of biome diversity, but it's practically impossible to find Villagers. In Bedrock Edition, the closest village is about 1,200 blocks away, while Java Edition players will not be able to find a Village for nearly 2,000 blocks. You're in for a lonely world!

Wishing for Cherries

Seed: -3455743755229791933

Version: Java and Bedrock

With the 1.20 update came one of the most beloved biomes, the Cherry Grove. I know many people who only search for seeds with one close by, so this seed would be an absolute downer for them. The nearest Cherry Grove is almost 2,000 blocks away, leaving you with no easy way to get one.

Basic Lands

Seed: -3897504228004148244

Version: Java

This seed starts you out between Forest, Plains, and Birch Forest biomes. Within 500 blocks, that's all you can find. After traveling 500 blocks away, you can find a few structures. After 700 to 1,000 blocks, you'll be able to find more unique biomes like Mangrove Swamps. At the start, however, you're stuck with just the basics.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Close Village: 672, -528
Mangrove Swamp: 850, -570

Lava Love

For players who want a laugh, enter this seed to begin a continuous respawn cycle, as Spawn is based underground in lava. Unless playing in creative mode, players may never see what else this world seed has to offer.
