Minecraft 1.18 introduced major game changes, providing players with more interesting caves, taller mountains, and other stunning geographic features!

Pillager Lake

Seed: -4926667692257011651

This seed spawns you near two Pillager Outposts, one of which is next to a beautiful lake. The lake itself would make a gorgeous area for building a town or riverside city! Another Pillager Outpost lies a couple hundred blocks to the northeast, while a Taiga Village can be found to the northwest of Spawn. The seed does not initially provide any crazy dangers or an abundance of visual resources that I could find, but instead provides beautiful scenery and easy-to-see dangers that make it a comfortable seed for more casual players.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Pillager Outpost: 256, 0
Pillager Outpost 2: 672, -192
Taiga Village: -352, -448
Igloo with Basement: -696, 264

Winter Wonderland

Seed: 7423081065082302495

Winter lovers will adore this seed! You spawn in a Snowy Plains biome surrounded by Frozen Ocean and Snowy Taiga biomes. The area contains a few shipwrecks and ruined portals but is also home to a lot of buried treasure hidden beneath the ocean. Venturing south and east from Spawn will allow you to take in beautiful wintry scenery, especially with the many villages scattered about the landscape. Head northwest from Spawn to take a tropical desert vacation.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Igloo with Basement: 296, 520
Snowy Village with Portal: 160, 1,392
Snowy Village 2: 1,824, 176
Taiga Village by Pillager Outpost: -464, 2,032
Desert: -1,952, -755

Witch's Swamp

Seed: 6638732897827489666

This world starts you off at the border between a Sparse Jungle biome and a Swamp! While swamp life is exhilarating, this one is much more dangerous than most—it has seven witches living in it. Battle them all across the swamp in hopes of glory and riches. When you need a break or just a resupply, there is a Plains Village at the northern end of the swamp between two of the witch huts. Defeat them to form an alliance with the villagers!

Key Locations and Coordinates
Witch Hut: -248, -360
Witch Hut 2: 552, -328

The Bamboo Garden

Seed: -469303486518945144

This seed spawns you on a ring of mountains containing a bamboo garden. What's even more interesting is that the ring of mountains is contained within a much larger assortment of regular Jungle and Bamboo Jungle biomes. If you want to feel like the King of the Jungle, this seed is perfect for you. Build your base in the garden and achieve jungle supremacy!

Key Locations and Coordinates
Ruined Portal: -280, 104

The Northern Frontier

Seed: 8027300948549384115

You spawn near three villages in this seed, but we've focused on the obvious rivalry between the two shown in the image. You have the option of taking the side of the mountain people, nestled in a ring of mountains and well protected, or the village outside of the ring. Or, who knows, maybe you'll join the third village that we don't even have shown!

Key Locations and Coordinates
Village: 56, -136
Village 2: -248, -168
Village 3: -424, 120
Woodland Mansion: -779, 423

Blue Ice mountain tops

Seed: -1498659751

This seed is a true delight to all explorers and builders alike, as it offers plenty of opportunity for both. You will spawn close to a towering mountain chain decorated with streaks of blue icy veins and even a floating sky island. This vista makes this seed worth it by itself. If you want to enjoy it from afar, you can make a home in a village nearby and wake up each morning as the sun rises over this wonderful natural formation. The experience will be even better if you spice it up with some of the best 1.18 mods out there!

Best Minecraft 1.18 Bedrock Seeds

Riverside Mansion

Seed: -501260903

If you want to make a Woodland Mansion your home, this is the best seed to do it. You spawn at 0, 0, and must only take a short hike to find the nearest Woodland Mansion. The Mansion can be found overlooking a massive river that leads to a lake. You can tell that whoever built this mountainous home appreciated the beauty of nature.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Woodland Mansion: 137, -788

Village: 776, 200
Buried Treasure: 8, -184

Flower Children

Seed: 944710140

If you love flower villages, this is the perfect map. There are three flower villages (villages that generate in Flower Fields biomes) not far off from Spawn on this seed. It's perfect for those who enjoy the calm, peaceful atmosphere of Minecraft and want access to a head start in their survival world. Don't forget to stop and smell the roses!

The Goodlands

Seed: -78688046

This is our favorite seed so far for Minecraft 1.18. You spawn in what is supposed to be the Badlands, but the size and beauty of it all are anything but bad. In the Badlands, you'll find massive craters filled with water as well as a Coral Reef in a massive alcove that separates the Badlands from a sizeable Savannah biome.

Village: -360, -360
Abandoned Village: -872, -296

Mountain chain with two villages

Seed: 8624896

You will love this seed if you're an avid mountaineer like myself. Surrounded by two separate villages for you to make trip breaks, this mountain chain will provide you with hours of countless fun as it contains a giant cave full of treasure troves for you to explore. There is even an outpost further back for you to invade and make your own, from which you can invade the two neighboring villages.

Key Locations and Coordinates
Estimated Ruined Portal: X: -280 Z: 40
Plains Village: X: -216 Z: -264
