Best Minecraft Coral Reef Seeds – 1.20, Bedrock & Java (2024)

Live in a vibrant, colorful ocean!

If you're looking to explore the oceans and live among the fish, then I've got a bunch of great Minecraft Coral Reef Seeds for you! I've sailed vast Warm Ocean biomes and braved treacherous seas to discover the best Coral Reefs in Minecraft and create this convenient list.

These seeds work for both Bedrock and Java, so you should be able to find something you like on any platform. While world generation works similarly between the two versions, they still generate structures at different locations. Because of this, I have provided helpful lists of key locations for both versions of each seed!

Seed: -3135873002303195014

This seed begins in a Wooded Badlands biome next to the ocean. The ocean has a shallower area near the badlands that drops down as you swim further out into the sea. Both the shallow and deep areas are filled with coral, making this a two-layer Coral Reef. This includes a few pieces of coral that have grown within the nearby underwater ravine.

If an endless Coral Reef is what you want, an endless Coral Reef is what you'll get! The Coral Reef in this seed covers over 1,000 blocks, ranging from the area right next to Spawn to a Mushroom Island and even further beyond that. It's perfect for crafting a hidden base out of coral as no one would even know where to look. It's also great for any underwater-themed adventure games.

Tropical fish lovers, this one is for you. The Coral Reef is large and located right next to Spawn. As soon as I entered the world, I saw dozens of tropical fish swimming through the reef. It covers the shallow and deeper parts of the ocean, providing all players with an endless array of bright colors and cute fish.

Spawn in this world is set on a beautiful, crescent-shaped windswept island. If you follow the Coral Reef near Spawn, it will lead you to a small Mushroom Island! If that's not enough mushrooms for you, there is a larger one beyond the reef's edge.

Contained Coral

Seed: -8777635791071504639

This patch of coral is separated from the rest of the ocean and is contained by a ring of sand. Players of both versions will have a Desert Village in the surrounding area. Whether these villagers moved here for the coral or were here before it ever arrived, they make good use of it in their everyday lives. You're more than welcome to harvest and use it as well. If you'd prefer to leave this patch as-is, there is more coral beyond the sand that you can utilize.

This seed is a beautiful one that guarantees a Coral Reef from the start. The Coral Reef is small but very densely populated with coral, tropical fish, and even squids. Structures can be found in the surrounding ocean, plus a second patch of Coral Reef can be found not far off from this one. If you want to live a colorful ocean life, make sure to try out this seed!

Lava falls blend with the waterfalls and Coral Reef of this seed. Unbeknownst to many, the cave within the wall is actually a Lush Cave! An Acacia tree can be found peeking out of the water a few hundred blocks away, revealing the existence of the cave. You could turn it into your home or build a base within the reef itself.

This Coral Reef contains multiple mountain-like islands that give it a very dramatic appearance. The starting island contains a Stony Shores biome with plenty of iron and coal, and the mainland in the distance has plenty of trees. The hardest part is just climbing to the top of each island.

The inhabitants of this reef disappeared long ago, leaving behind a ruined portal, a shipwreck, and an abandoned Desert Village. Bringing life back to this Coral Reef is no easy task, but it's not impossible. The remnants of the shipwreck can be used to rebuild the town while the portal can be reconstructed from its fragments. Once it's restored to its former glory, villagers can be brought in from all over the Desert to repopulate it.

This world begins in a large Desert surrounded by Badlands. Instead of heading south into the Badlands, walk north through the Desert to reach a stunning Coral Reef! A peninsula juts into the water, splitting the Coral Reef in two. What's even more unique is the tiny Mangrove Swamp growing in the center of the peninsula, which serves as the only naturally growing wood source in the area.
