Top 20 Best 1.20.2 Seeds for Minecraft

Good Minecraft seeds are few and far between, and I consider finding proper seeds to be an art form. Spending countless hours scouring the internet searching for perfect, rare, and quality seeds with a bunch of content, rare biome combinations, or strange anomalies is hard, but I've done the work and developed a list of the top 20 1.20.2 seeds for you below.

20 - Lush Pirate Cove

Seed: 3201901650831491932

As far as beautiful seeds go, this one speaks for itself. Climbing on top of the cliff you spawn on reveals a gorgeous Lush Cave inside of the opposing cliff. Java Players will have a jaw-dropping Desert Village with a shipwreck. A small entrance at the bottom of the cliffs leads to a ginormous chamber containing the rest of the Lush Cave and a Deep Dark biome.

19 - Windswept Pillagers

Seed: 6993243736976503305

Towering above even the Windswept Hills next to it, this is one of the biggest Pillager Outposts I've ever seen. Its height allows it to view the Plains Village beneath it. Unfortunately, its height prevents the Pillagers from actually plundering the village! It's like the Minecraft equivalent of Rapunzel's tower, with angry and armed Pillagers instead of the princess.

Seed: 3887448163869726866

This Snowy Village is beginning to become overrun by the nearby icy biomes. The bell in the town center has been replaced by a spike of ice, with the bell instead sitting on a small ice block. Part of the village extends into the Frozen Ocean to its left. For those looking for a fight, a Pillager Outpost can be seen in the distance.

17 - Stony Mountain Island

Seed: 8101958273703294019

This island was originally a peninsula that became detached from the main continent. The island itself has spruce trees, stony hills, and an icy mountain. Towering stony and spruce islands fill the nearby seas, making the area a treasure trove for ore and wood collection. All players will have the opportunity to uncover mineshafts beneath the mountain. Bedrock players have the chance to find an Ancient City deep below its surface.

16 - Desert Temple Home

Seed: -5109750056534348571

Two of the homes in this Desert Village have merged with the adjacent Desert Temple to form one stunning piece of architecture. To enter the temple itself, you'll need to pass through the villager's home at its front. The staircase of the tower is blocked by the temple's walls, but that can easily be entered by climbing the temple and breaking into the tower. You'll want to do so to get the treasure from both the tower and the temple itself.

15 - Cherry Cave Village

Seed: 4405867304512727636

This 1.20.2 seed has a much smaller Cherry Grove than others on our list. Its uniqueness comes from its placement near a large cavern, a Snowy Plains biome, and even a mini Ice Spikes biome. Java players have the bonus of a Plains Village being located within the grove. Two of their houses and an animal pen have been constructed within the cavern itself. There is also a lava pool nearby, which is helpful for players who want to make a Nether Portal using the nontraditional method.

14 - Mansion and Portals

Seed: -5460345056966164152

Rising from the river, this Woodland Mansion stands over the woods and ruined portals around it. Combine the loot from the Mansion with the ruined portals to gear up and quickly take on the Nether. Bedrock players will not have the Mansion, instead getting an Ancient City and several pieces of buried treasure along the coastline by Spawn.

Seed: -7467799240263402918

Adventure and Survival players will love this upgraded island survival map. The island itself has sloping hills on one side, sheer cliffs on the other, and a mountain in the center. Java players will be able to find several shipwrecks and a cluster of ocean ruins nearby. In contrast, Bedrock players will need to resort to digging up the island's beaches for treasure.

Seed: 4757330890741568833

This grotto, which lies beneath Beach and Jungle biomes, acts as the home to the elusive axolotl! The cave can be safely traversed by jumping into the many ponds within the cave. While many monsters are lurking in the dark, a simple wooden sword and some torches will help take care of them. The nearby ocean contains several shipwrecks and ocean ruins waiting to be discovered and looted.

11 - Where Worlds Collide

Seed: 8786043286507745019

This seed takes the best of four separate worlds to produce one indescribable seed! The snowy mountain is surrounded on three sides by an expansive Dark Forest, with a Bamboo Jungle covering the other side. A pit made up of a Lush Cave biome can be found to the left of the mountain hidden near the Dark Forest. Java players will be able to explore a ruined portal on top of the mountain as well.

10 - Budding Volcano

Seed: 5604536942354129104

This young volcano is already beginning to leak lava—an eruption may be imminent! Java players may want to evacuate the village to safety, just in case. Bedrock players won't have this worry, instead having a few ancient civilizations to explore beneath the surface. Going underground may be the best move, as any lava will pass safely overhead leaving you cozy and warm. More creative players may enjoy adding extra lava, magma blocks, and even magma cubes to the volcano to increase the volcanic appearance of the mountain.

9 - Illager's Villagers

Seed: 5807661361325673821

These Illagers have taken control of a Plains Village, subjugating the Villagers to grow their crops and give them other resources. If you've got spare time, the villagers would be grateful for a helping hand to stand against the Illagers. Of course, helping them out and removing the Illagers from power does mean that the position of dictator is waiting to be filled.

While these villages are only a short distance away, they are separated by the geography between them. A base can be made next to either, but it may be more profitable to connect them. Bedrock players will be able to find a Taiga Village as well as a few ruined portals, while Java players will have to travel toward the ocean for more structures.

7 - Forested Badlands

Seed: 2478166049444056686

These Wooded Badlands have the beautiful visuals of regular Badlands combined with the functionality of a Forest. As a bonus, there is a Desert Village filled with goodies right next to them. When you've had your fun wandering the Desert and have gathered enough supplies, you can head beneath the surface to take on an Ancient City.

6 - Hidden Cherry Village

Seed: 3634221548333338194

This Plains Village is surrounded by Cherry Grove hills, preventing anyone on the outside from seeing it. You can turn it into a bustling town, loot its valuables, or spend time there to train up and get ready to take on the world. Java players will be able to find a second village outside of the hills, and players of both versions will find an Ancient City a few hundred blocks away.

Finding Mushroom Islands has never been easier than with this seed! Heading east from Spawn leads you into a giant Cold Ocean filled with Cold Ruins, Ocean Monuments, and, of course, Mushroom Islands. There are four large ones as well as several smaller islands to explore. If you need time to prepare before facing the seas, there are villages, igloos, and ruins on land to help you gear up.

With so many Ancient Cities and Badlands as far as the eye can see, this seed is definitely a must-play. Both Java and Bedrock players will find a series of three Ancient Cities next to each other. However, only Java players will get two Ancient Cities that connect directly. With two times the treasure available in one place, the danger is well worth the risk.

You spawn on the side of a small mountain covered in snow. Crossing it will lead you to a bustling Plains Village. Half of the village remains covered in snow while the other half basks in the sun. It's the perfect place to enjoy a steady, relaxing life. For some extra excitement, there are a few caves nearby to explore, from a Dripstone Cave ravine to a giant underwater cavern.

If you love gorgeous geography, you'll adore the combination of Windswept Savannah hills, Desert terrain, and the split Mangrove Swamp in this seed. A giant cave can be found to the north filled with ores to get your journey started. Players of either version of Minecraft will be able to find a nearby Desert Temple, Desert Village, and a Pillager Outpost.

This seed is an absolute dream for players who want to create a castle or bridge-filled build. Spawn is set within a Plains Valley surrounded by Cherry Grove hills. The valley contains one large island in the center surrounded by a connecting river, giving off the impression of a castle surrounded by a moat. Java players will find a lone Plains Village overlooking them from one of the hills.
