Island biomes have lots of versatility, making them one of the best biomes in Minecraft. Islands can be used as an easily defendable home base for survival players, the site of a creative player's tropical-themed builds, or even as the start of an adventure-mode story.
Whatever your reason, I've put together a list of the best Minecraft Island Seeds that you can use in your next Minecraft experience!
Best Minecraft Island Seeds List (Java and Bedrock)
These are the best Island Seeds I can find for the newest version of Minecraft. It's important to mention that structures are generated differently in Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some of the key structures for each seed will be different.
Long Island
Seed: -1782331308116060409
From east to west, this island takes up more than 2,500 blocks. Its length gives the island room for various biomes, including Groves, Taigas, Lush Caves, and a Dark Forest with a Woodland Mansion. Rivers run through the island and separate it into a few different parts. If you want to play with friends, you can easily divide these up so everyone has their own plot of land.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Long Island: Spawn | Long Island: Spawn |
| Pillager Outpost: 841, -233 | Buried Treasure: 280, 58, -376 |
| Woodland Mansion: 1,801, -472 | Ruined Nether portal: 749, -364 |
Stone Cave Island
Seed: -5449837262520492459
It's not often that you'll find an island with a large chunk of its surface removed in Minecraft. This one starts you in a stone pit on the island's eastern half. It's a pretty great start for any Minecraft survival player since the surrounding Forest biome provides wood for tools while the pit is home to ores. If you're looking for structures, Java players will have a Plains Village on a nearby island, Bedrock players will find a ruined Nether portal, and both will have access to a Trial Chamber.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Stone Cave Island: Spawn | Stone Cave Island: Spawn |
| Trial Chamber: -391, -19, 55 | Trial Chamber: -391, -19, 55 |
| Small Plains Village Island: -233, 611 | Ruined Nether portal: -546, 4 |
Five Biome Island
Seed: 3740706418821737299
If you're not sure what kind of island to settle on, choose this island with five different forested biomes. It gives you immediate access to four types of wood, cocoa beans, and all the passive mobs you need to survive. You'll also have access to a Trial Chamber beneath the area near Spawn and a second on the eastern half of the island.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Five Biome Island: Spawn | Five Biome Island: Spawn |
| Trial Chamber: 105, -19, 601 | Trial Chamber: 105, -19, 601 |
| Ruined Nether portal: 72, 816 | Shipwreck: -107, 795 |
Frozen Mushroom Continent
Seed: -7215554780611072506
This Mushroom Island is so large that you won't be able to see the end of it even with your render distance fully maxed out. While its northern half is large and fully interconnected, its southern tip trails off and forms a line of Mushroom Islands. You'll be able to reach this island as soon as you enter this world. It will likely be one of the largest Mushroom Islands you will ever come across in Minecraft.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Mushroom Island: -289, 352 | Mushroom Island: -289, 352 |
| Shipwreck: -269, 472 | Shipwreck: -188, 406 |
| Ruined Nether portal: -432, 726 | Ruined Nether portal: -544, 952 |
Ice Spikes Island
Seed: -1559641303573485556
An Ice Spikes biome is the first one you'll see on this island. Bedrock players will find a ruined Nether portal and a Snowy Village on the island's surface. In contrast, Java players will only have an Igloo with a basement. All players will find a Trial Chamber beneath the southern half of the island while only Bedrock player will be able to explore an Ancient City.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Ice Spikes Island: Spawn | Ice Spikes Island: Spawn |
| Shipwreck: 270, 94 | Snowy Village: 723, 210 |
| Igloo with basement: 515, 277 | Ruined Nether portal: 671, 182 |
| Trial Chamber: 729, -30, 295 | Ancient City: 568, -42, 128 |
Shallow Cliff Island
Seed: 2221239190834629594
The coasts of this island have varying Y-levels, causing them to either rise dozens of blocks above the sea level or dip down into the ocean. It's a unique island generation that is perfect for an adventure-style game! Use the lower coasts to form ports, shipwrecked beaches, and similarly themed areas. In contrast, the sheer cliffs are perfect for lighthouses and forts for defending the island. Interestingly enough, Bedrock players will need to swim over to this island from the mainland rather than spawning directly on it.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Shallow Cliffs island: Spawn | Shallow Cliffs island: -534, -204 |
| Plains Village: -799, -511 | Buried Treasure: -952, 74, 24 |
| Shipwreck: -877, -531 | Shipwreck: -998, 197 |
Round Village Island
Seed: 1225407360159874917
While you will have to travel a bit to reach this island, its Plains Village and perfect size make it a contender on our list of the best Minecraft island worlds. In addition to the island village, Java players will have a second village on the part of the mainland almost directly behind the small island. Explore the ocean for shipwrecks and Cold Ocean Ruins if the treasure from these two structures isn't enough. Additionally, there is a Pillager Outpost along the coast north of the island if you want to take on a challenge.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |

| Meadow Mountain village: -735, 6 | Buried Treasure 1: -568, 60, -120 |

| Shipwreck: -540, -378 | Shipwreck: -630, -325 |
Old Growth Island with Trail Ruins
Seed: -7518131457297166827
An Old Growth Birch Forest covers the southern half of this island. Those who travel deeper into the island near the snowy Grove will find a set of Trail Ruins hidden beneath the island's birch trees. This goes for both Bedrock and Java players, so everyone can enjoy this island excavation equally.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Old Growth Island: Spawn | Old Growth Island: Spawn |
| Trail Ruins: -706, -238 | Trail Ruins: -706, -238 |
Badlands Island in Coral Reef
Seed: 7619867153800490403
The orange and reds of this Badlands island contrast nicely with the ocean surrounding it. If you go underground beneath the island, you'll come across a Trial Chamber. Players who don't want to go to such lengths can stick to exploring the ocean for shipwrecks and ruins.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |

Ice Spike Village
Seed: 1673452217759731023
Frigid spikes of ice surround this island, keeping players trapped in a frozen wasteland. Luckily, you're not alone! Bedrock and Java players will have a Snowy Village on the island with them. Java players will also have a large cave to explore while Bedrock players have an additional Snowy Village a short walk away.

Mini Continent
Seed: -1804137012301392939
While this island is incredibly large compared to other islands on our list, it's small compared to the nearby continents. The island is filled with structures regardless of which version you play. Java lovers will have multiple villages, Desert Temples, Trail Ruins, and a Pillager Outpost. Bedrock players will find similar structures plus a Jungle Temple.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |

Heart Island
Seed: 4562068940024137064
This Birch Forest island is noticeably heart-shaped, making it a perfect start for a creative world. Remove part of the bottom of the island near the shipwreck to make its shape more pronounced. Java players will find a few small structures near Spawn while Bedrock players can access three buried treasure chests in the same area.

Coral Sands
Seed: 4910894592491893075
These sandy islands are fantastic for both Java and Bedrock players. They're surrounded by a giant Coral Reef with small Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks hidden beneath the coral. Java players have the added bonus of a Desert Village on the larger island. If you tire of these islands, travel north to arrive at a Desert or east to find a Mushroom Island.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Coral Sands: Spawn | Coral Sands: Spawn |
| Desert Village: -502, -220 | Small Warm Ocean Ruin: -276, -244 |

Ombre Island
Seed: 45231019457969252
This island has a unique configuration of Savanna, Plains, and Beach biomes that turns its surface into a gradient. It's a beautiful feature that both Bedrock and Java players can enjoy freely. Likewise, all players will find a Mushroom Island to the southwest. The major difference between the two versions is that Bedrock players will have a Savanna Village on the island while Java players will not.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Ombre Island: Spawn | Ombre Island: Spawn |
| Mushroom Island: 8, -84 | Mushroom Island: 8, -84 |

Pillager Ranch
Seed: 8359615647292928787
I've never seen so many mobs gather around a Pillager Outpost! This may occur due to the limited space for mobs to spawn, but everything from Pillagers to horses and sea turtles are found on this tiny island. Take over the Outpost and convert the island into your personal ranch to raise all sorts of animals. The prevalence of mobs at the start guarantees you'll be able to gather them with little effort.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Pillager Ranch: -760, 58, 8 | Buried Treasure: -760, 58, 8 |
Multi-Biome Cluster
Seed: -5140017210236258587
This cluster of islands is large and full of diversity. The islands start as Plains and Stony shores, then transition into Forest, Taiga, and Snowy Plains biomes. There's even a tiny, one-tree Cherry Grove biome on the island next to spawn. Java players will find a Taiga Village, a ruined portal, and two Trail Ruins. Bedrock players have better structure luck with a Pillager Outpost, three villages, and two Trail Ruins.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Single Cherry Tree: -45, 539 | Plains Village: 170, 249 |
| Taiga Village: -181, 870 | Pillager Outpost: 73, 343 |

Adrift in the Frozen Ocean
Seed: -3845070505970885974
If ice is your thing, these snowy islands won't disappoint. Spawn is set on the largest island of the three. It is mainly a Snowy Plains biome with enough trees scattered around to get you started off right in survival mode. Java players will have a shipwreck and a Snowy Village to explore while Bedrock players will have to take to the seas to find treasure.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Snowy Islands: Spawn | Snowy Islands: Spawn |
| Shipwreck: 267, -193 | Underwater Ruined Portal: 388, 109 |
