Jungle Cave Exploration

Seed: 7180157851369889166
An incredible mix of Savanna and Jungle Biomes is dotted with huge caves leading down into the darkness. But the most incredible cave lies a bit farther away, beneath a huge Jungle hill. Mineshafts intersect a vast Lush Cave system with the Dripstone just off in the distance. This is an incredible location for underground adventure, or spelunking!
- Key Locations
- Incredible cave: -105, 10, 788
- Village on a cave system: 239, 1127
- Badlands and Red Sand Desert: 553, 668
- Desert Village + Temple: 703, 327
- Shipwreck: 833, 9
Frozen Ocean Cavern

Seed: 4981516925953961499
What sits below the Frozen Ocean? A huge cave system does, as it happens. This incredible cave system makes for the perfect base, with it's built-in mob spawner and vast open space. With only a small island of trees nearby, it's a fantastic challenge map for players looking to tough it out in a frozen wasteland.
- Key Locations
- Spider Spawner Dungeon: 336, -32, -106
- Lush Cave Cavern: 244, -5, -99
- Ocean Ruin: 377, -522
- Mineshaft: 289, -18, -400
Mini Farlands

Seed: -992714597311471801
The Farlands were a now-deleted Minecraft Biome that was generated at the edge of the world limit. This seed reminds us of that fantastic location because of its crazy cliffs and mix of tiny biomes. But the real adventure begins below the ground, where dozens of Lush Caves intersect with Dripstone Caves, Mineshafts, and Dungeons to form an incredible underground.
- Key Locations
- Ruined Portal: 81, -279
- Lush Cave with Mineshaft Entrance: 254, 10, -336
- Beached Shipwreck: 467, -685
- Village: 66, -749

Best Minecraft Bedrock Cave Seeds
Instant Cave

Seed: -1597699456
Can’t wait to get into a Cave? This is Bedrock’s developer-provided seed for Lush Caves. You can be in the cave in seconds, given that you spawn right next to two entrances. This seed also gives you quick access to almost every type of wood right off the bat, so if you’re looking to build an underground mining system, it’s a great starting spot.
- Key Locations
- Cave Entrance: 17, 93, 15
- Village 1: 728, 628
- Village 2: 804, 73
- Ruined Portal and Ocean Ruins: 332, -520
The Cavern Below

Seed: -2395316354623700247
A huge cavern just below your starting spot that covers almost the entire Plains biome above it? Yes, please! This is a great start for players who want to make either a huge cave base or open up a cavern into a massive crater. This is also a great start for Minecraft traditionalists who want standard grass and trees and flatter ground to start off with. But this idyllic land could hide something sinister. An Abandoned Village in the next valley over could hide some secrets.
- Key Locations
- Cavern Entrance: -7, 22
- Abandoned Village: -463, 177
- Spruce Village: -867, 189
- Huge Dripstone Cave Entrance: 211, 404
Liberation Mission

Seed: -8924217438600596583
An Illager tower with a Village within crossbow’s shot is a bad omen, to be sure. The cave the Villagers decided to build their homes by must be lucrative for them to have so many Iron Golems! Head up the hill and free the Allay and Iron Golem to defeat the Pillagers. But in the long term, it might be better to migrate into the cave completely, given there’s a huge underground system of tunnels that lead right down to Deepslate.
- Key Locations
- Illager Tower: 152, 631
- Village and Cave Entrance: 239, 582
- Village 2: 681, 278
- Illager Tower 2 with Huge Cave Entrance: 501, -1017
