  • Coordinates: 1 75 110
  • Biome: Savanna

This one is huge! You will spawn on the shore of a massive survival island that is almost completely flat. Usually big islands have some sort of hills and mountains, but not this one. A place like this is perfect for building a huge mansion, as there is enough room. Just get rid of all those trees and you’re ready to go.

  • Biome: Desert

Do you like zombies? Spawn near a desert village with a blacksmith who has a chest with gold ingots and an iron sword that will be really useful in this seed. Why? Because right next to the village there is a patch of forest biome with a hole in the ground, which is a zombie spawner!

  • Coordinates: 235 70 256
  • Biome: Plains

Spawn in a seemingly peaceful area with just one hut nearby. What could it be? Well, it’s a library and there is a librarian inside. You should definitely visit this lonely stranger because he has something special for you – Thorns III book, which is a very rare and powerful enchantment in Minecraft. Go get it!

Blacksmith and village in Minecraft

  • Coordinates: 120 70 262
  • Biome: Plains

Spawn in the middle of a flat field located in the plains biome. It’s not perfectly flat, as it has a few cracks in the ground here and there, but it is still a great place for building a house or even a whole settlement. The best spot would at 30 64 404, so check it out.

Seed: -9071243202608864395

Snow plains and snow mountains in Minecraft

  • Coordinates: -2 72 13
  • Biome: Ice Plains

You will spawn at another flat area, this time it’s a snow biome, which is generally great for building. Usually you won’t find a naturally generated village in the ice plains biome, except of a few igloos here and there. This is the reason that building an artificial settlement with NPCs in the snowy surroundings should be very exciting and challenging. Try it out!
