Lush Caves are the perfect place for players who want to enjoy Minecraft's natural beauty but want something different from the usual Overworld biomes.
I've scoured far and wide to find seeds containing a variety of different Lush Caves, from highly intricate multi-layer beauties to oversized Lush Caverns. Whatever you're looking for, you'll find a seed that fits you in our best Minecraft Lush Caves list!
Best Minecraft 1.21 Lush Cave Seeds (Bedrock and Java)
Lush Caves were officially added to Minecraft in the 1.18 Caves & Cliffs Update. Veteran players found a renewed sense of joy and wonder in these green caves, while casual players like me found a reason to go back underground. If you're feeling a little lackluster about Minecraft, one of these seeds may be just what you need to reinstill your love for the game!
Dark Lush Ravine
Seed: 8449401401980385264
Lush Caves are right at home in moody Dark Forests. This one is particularly special for Java players because it contains a mineshaft leading you directly to a Trial Chamber structure. Bedrock players will have the same Trial Chamber but will have to find their way to it instead of following a mineshaft. To make up for this, Bedrock players will find two chests of treasure beneath the ground around Spawn.

Mountainside Caves
Seed: -8038432871121185838
Two Lush Caves means double the exploration and double the fun. The first cave tunnels quickly down to Deepslate, making it perfect for creating a mine or just looking for some easy ores. The second is much larger. Its right side has a lake perfect for spawning tropical fish and breeding axolotls while its left side leads down to a large deepslate cavern. This cavern has a Dripstone Cave biome in it as well as small patches of more Lush Cave.

Hidden Lush
Seed: -8816434064896361247
Unless you walk down the starting cliff and look in the right direction, you won't spot this Lush Cave despite it being next to Spawn. When you do find it, it's worth the time spent looking for it! The cave begins in a large chamber made up of Lush Cave biome. A small hole in the floor leads to deeper deepslate levels and a Deep Dark biome. Make your base in the start of the cave and use it to store supplies and rest up while making trips into the deeper parts of the cavern.

Lush Platforms
Seed: -8819630052753380121
The start of this Lush Cave contains multiple platforms for players to move between with waterfalls leading from the higher platforms to the ones below. You'll find small ponds with only tropical fish, larger bowls of water holding Axolotls, and mossy patches with flowering Azaleas. The Lush Cave continues for many blocks beyond this first section. It drops down to deepslate, lighting up the cave with glowberries and eventually reaching a Dripstone Cave.

Lush Cave to Ancient City
Seed: 7524776831660491572
Be wary of the entrance to this Lush Cave as it is surrounded with Powdered Snow blocks. If you can avoid sinking into them, you'll be brought directly into the Lush Cave. Bedrock players who travel through this Lush Cave into the Deepslate layers will find an Ancient City.

Lush Lava
Seed: 5394501881018230701
A large lake of lava serves as the center of this Lush Cave. The biome is on the first and second layers of the cave, looming over the lake on the third layer. Both the lava and the Lush Cave make this cave more lit up than a regular cave would be. This makes it easy to see monsters and diamonds while exploring.

Lush Skeletons
Seed: 7369310641067527513
Mob Spawners serve as great ways to gather experience and certain mob drops for players who may not want to build their own mob farms. Java players will uncover this Skeleton Spawner just by exploring the Lush Cave near spawn. They will also find a ruined Nether portal in the caves beneath the Spawner. While Bedrock players will not have the same fortune, they can still use the Lush Cave and a Jungle Temple in the lands above it.

Lush Ravine Mansion
Seed: -3902957547810855011
If you play on console, mobile, or Minecraft for Windows, you'll be ecstatic to find this Woodland Mansion on top of a Lush Ravine. Java players will not have the same Mansion, but they can still explore the deep cavern. Follow the cave down to deepslate to find the beginning of a Deep Dark biome within the Lush Cave. The subtle light from the glowberries will help you find your way there.

Bamboo Axolotl Home
Seed: 8937118146119389781
Axolotls are one of the main reasons why many players, including myself, look for Lush Caves in Minecraft. This Lush Cave makes finding them a piece of cake since it contains several watery rooms that serve as spawning grounds for Axolotls. If you want a break from the lush green scenery, visit the other side of the cave to find a patch of Deep Dark biome. You'll also find an amethyst geode in an upper level of the cave.

Lush Dark Forest
Seed: 7429484890712348076
The Dark Forest's deeper colors contrast nicely with the brighter greens and blues of the Lush Cave hidden within it. All players will find an Axolotl-filled waterfall within the cave, but only Java players will get the oak mineshaft. It gives them a quick route into deeper sections of the cave that Bedrock players must work harder to find.

Lush Dripstone Corridor
Seed: 8643752374145500283
Dripstone and Lush Caves are the two most common cave biomes in Minecraft. At first glance, the cave in this seed is a massive Dripstone wonder. Hundreds of Stalagmites and Stalactites fill the cave, making wandering carelessly dangerous. However, if you look around after entering the cave you'll see the start of a Lush Cave in one small area. Head toward it to find a large tunnel of Lush Cave complete with glow berries, moss, and all.

Lush Chamber
Seed: -6208295466022987906
This Lush Cave comes in a series of chambers rather than one large cave. Follow the different pathways to uncover new areas and lush resources to gather. If you want to try your hand at underground living, turn each chamber into its own room. Some can be turned into farms, others into chest rooms, enchanting rooms, and anything else you may need.

Lush Mushroom Forest
Seed: -5078329908201835343
The entrance to this Lush Cave is only about 50 blocks from Spawn, making it super easy to find and enter. Java players will find part of a mineshaft at the start of the cave. While Bedrock players do not have the same fortune, they luckily have a Woodland Mansion! The Lush Cave itself has a small ravine within it as well as a staircase leading down to Deepslate.

Bamboo Mountain Cavern
Seed: 4762500151349936011
At the base of this bamboo mountain lies a giant cavern with sections of Lush Cave. The Lush Cave covers the front of the cavern and a few areas in the Deepslate areas. Additionally, a small patch of Deep Dark biome is hidden near the front of the cavern. Java players have a Jungle Temple near this cave to sweeten up the deal.

Lush Hideaway
Seed: -1295803384901517031
This Lush Cave is small and cozy compared to many of the larger caves on our list. Its many tunnels are lit up by glow berries, making it the perfect Lush Cave to live in. The entrance is a small ravine, so you must build a safe way in and out. While the glow berries help prevent too many mobs from spawning, be wary as they won't stop Creepers from infiltrating the cave.
