26 - Wooded Badlands Cities

Seed: 3985567911449189032

Ancient Cities fill the caverns beneath this Wooded Badlands biome. Since several of the cities are very close to each other, they have come together to form one large, chaotic maze. With its great size comes a lot of treasure to uncover. However, it also increases your risk of becoming stuck in the cities with no way of knowing which way leads out.

25 - Sniffer Reef

Seed: 7416857256937929228

The release of Minecraft 1.20 brought with it the Sniffer, an adorable new mob that is required to find the new flowers from the same update. This seed is the perfect starting point for Sniffer fans because it spawns you next to a Warm Ocean filled with ocean ruins! If you're worried that the number of ruins in this ocean won't be enough to gather at least two Sniffer Eggs, you'll find another Warm Ocean with its own ruins a short walk northeast.

Seed: 3489572000287596066

If you find yourself constantly making new survival worlds, you'll know that grinding materials and reaching other dimensions can be exhausting. This world eases the burden by spawning players near a Plains Village with a ruined Nether portal that leads you straight to a Nether Fortress. As soon as you reach the top of one of the Fortress' pillars, you'll see Blazes roaming freely. It's the perfect set-up for gathering Blaze Rods to speedrun your way to the End.

Seed: 3175828495070852703

If you're a Bedrock player who strives for riches, this seed will give you wealth beyond your wildest dreams. Walk to the northeast of Spawn to find a large Beach biome in the center of a Plains biome. Beneath the sands of this beach, you'll find seven different buried treasure chests. Additionally, you'll have access to a shipwreck and a Plains Village.

22 - Savanna Island in Coral Reef

Seed: -2715433710559337525

A Savanna Island with a Savanna Village is the starting point of this world. Around the island's coast are a few buried treasure chests while the ocean is home to several Warm Ocean Ruins. Since there are a few caves on the island's northern end, you can use them to gather copper to craft brushes. Afterward, explore all of the ruins to your heart's content! Lucky players will find Sniffer Eggs in at least one of the ruins.

21 - Resourceful Taiga

Seed: -4185526337092059966

Taiga biomes are often home to Trail Ruins and Taiga Village. In addition to the previous two structures, these Taigas contain ruined Nether portals and a Pillager Outpost. Start at the villages to use them as a secure base and renewable food resource. From there, travel to the ruined Nether portals and Trail Ruins to gather their treasures. Once you've taken everything, you can gear up to take on the Pillager Outpost.

20 - Lush Badlands Pillagers

Seed: 8886053994623421843

These Pillagers have made their Badlands base next to a small Lush Ravine. They devotedly guard this ravine, preventing anyone from approaching it. You'll need to either defeat them or sneak around the ravine to gather the Lush Cave's special materials. Bedrock players will have a Desert Village farther away in place of this Outpost.

Seed: -7263126294164857874

Cherry Groves and Snowy Mountains are partners destined for greatness. Cross the mountain you spawn on to find a Plains Village covering the side of a neighboring hill. From the village, you'll spot a Pillager Outpost rising above the mountains in the area. Do your best to avoid being knocked off the mountain while conquering it.

18 - Coral Desert Coast

Seed: 1442359345107911592

Coral Reefs are the prettiest underwater biome Minecraft has to offer. The bright colors of this reef contrast nicely with the monotone yellows of the Desert it is next to. Java players will spawn in the Desert Village and Desert Temple structure combination next to the Coral Reef. Bedrock players will have a Desert Village in another location as well as several underwater structures to explore.

17 - Lush Mine Start

Seed: 8541771430126095322

Mineshafts are home to all sorts of ores and treasures, so having one right next to Spawn is a wonderful thing! This mineshaft is very easy to reach since it is in a Lush Cave with water. You can either dig down into it or drop into the water at the bottom of the cave and build your way up. Make sure to grab wood and coal for torches first, though. The halls of the mineshaft are narrow, dark, and filled with monsters.

16 - Snowy Cherry Mountains

Seed: -1743022870505021258

A good Cherry Grove will spruce up any Minecraft seed. This one covers the area near Spawn and a few other spots around the neighboring Snowy Slopes mountain. The mountain is not steep, making it easy to climb and explore. Just be careful not to fall in any powdered snow! After climbing to the top, you'll find two craters. The second contains a big cave entrance you can use to reach an Ancient City.

15 - Jungle Nether Ruins

Seed: 2452158423883215867

There is something otherworldly about a ruined Nether Portal next to a set of Trail Ruins. It makes me speculate on which ruin came first, if one of them caused the other to decline, or if it's simply a coincidence that they rest next to each other. Whatever it may be, you're sure to enjoy the combination of these two structures. Bedrock players will not have these, but they will have two buried treasure chests to dig up at Spawn.

14 - Pillager Raid

Seed: 3959351028507189066

Iron Golems aren't enough to stop the Pillagers that are actively raiding this Plains Village. You'll need to visit the two surrounding Plains Villages to gather some basic supplies to take the Pillagers on. The Plains Village on the beach has plenty of food while the Blacksmith village further away has a few pieces of iron armor and an iron sword. Before cutting down the tower for good, climb to the Blacksmith's shop at the top of the raided village to gather a few more pieces of iron gear.

13 - Two Ruin Hills

Seed: -7856728373336866347

Since Trail Ruins were one of the newer structures added to Minecraft in version 1.20, this list wouldn't be complete without a seed dedicated to them. This world comes with two Trail Ruins in the starting biome for both Bedrock and Java players. Miraculously, the locations of the Bedrock and Java ruins are the same. Take advantage of them to gather all of the rare materials you can right at the start of the game.

12 - From Lush to Darkness

Seed: 2010707340751842446

A Lush Life awaits you in this Minecraft seed. The main room of the cavern is a large Lush Cave with plenty of glow berries, water, and mobs to fend off. If you travel along the left side of the cave, you'll see a large drop leading straight into a Deep Dark biome. Make a quick base in the Lush Cave, use the berries as an easily renewable food source, and make a path down to the Deep Dark for an early-game experience farm.

Island living is always welcome in Minecraft. In this world, the main island is filled with several diverse biomes including a Savanna, a Mangrove Swamp, and a Forest.

10 - Desert Excavation

Seed: 6363077003200647520

This Desert is an archaeologist's dream for Java players. A Desert Village found near a waterway has a ruined Nether Portal that can only be spotted due to the Netherrack permeating out from it. In the distance, players can see a Badlands hill with an abandoned mineshaft. There are two Cave Spider Spawners exposed on the sides of this hill. They can be used for harvesting string, experience, or anything else you set your mind to.

Seed: -5806408227098751164

Bedrock players have the fortune of a Blacksmith village near the Spawn cavern in this seed. The Blacksmith's chest contains a few iron tools and iron ingots, giving you everything you need to start exploring the cavern. Java players will not have this village, but they can find a buried treasure chest along the coast. It will give them a good start in exploring the cave and creating their own village to settle in.

8 - Mushrooms Across the Sea

Seed: -8979556758379331855

Mushroom Islands are safe sanctuaries in Minecraft because hostile mobs cannot spawn on their Mycelium. This Mushroom Island is only a short distance from the shore, making it a great place for beginner players to take shelter. Bedrock players can view the island from a nearby Savanna Village. The ocean around the area contains shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins for all players to discover.

Seed: -8180806657150831147

If Java players explore the ocean, they'll find this Woodland Mansion anchored within a kelp forest. The base of the mansion extends down to the ocean floor. Creative players could remove this stone base and turn the Mansion itself into a luxurious houseboat. On the other hand, survival players could hollow out the base and create a hidden base beneath the Mansion.

This is one of the most resource-rich Minecraft beaches I've ever seen. Java players will come across two shipwrecks on the beach plus two chests of buried treasure. Bedrock players will not have the shipwrecks, but they will have five buried treasure chests. If you want a little more adventure, explore the nearby Jungle for Jungle Temples and Trail Ruins.

5 - Shipwrecked on Mansion

Seed: -5751249260283737666

I've seen a lot of mashed structures, but a shipwreck stuck in a Woodland Mansion is new to me! This ship crashed into the corner of the Mansion before sinking to the bottom of the inlet. If you want to find its chests, you'll need to dig up part of the Mansion.

Seed: -3682979572388152183

The bright beauty of this Coral Reef is emphasized by the dark Mangrove Swamp it is surrounded by. The sandy beaches at the edges of the reef have a couple of lava pools that can be used to create obsidian. Both Bedrock and Java players will have a Desert Temple near the lake. Java players will also have a Warm Ocean Ruin in the lake and Bedrock players will have a village further off in the Desert.

3 - Mansions for All

Seed: 7363524667153983334

Woodland Mansions and Trail Ruins are two of the harder structures to find in Minecraft. Woodland Mansions are difficult to find because they only spawn in Dark or Roofed Forests while Trail Ruins are hard to spot if you don't know where to look. This seed provides guaranteed Mansion and Trail Ruins spawns for players who want to explore both structures.

Armadillos are found all over the side of the mountain the village climbs up. Players will also have easy access to a cave behind the village, a ruined portal, and a Jungle Temple.
