Top 30 Best Island Seeds in Minecraft 1.20.4

Blacksmith and island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: -80 Z: -16
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

The best way to start a survival game on an island is when it has a village with a blacksmith. Also, the island at spawn has a natural lava pool on the surface, which will allow you to quickly craft the nether portal. If you decide to explore the ocean around you, then take your boat to coordinates X: 665 Z: -247, where you’ll find a small mushroom island.

  • Spawn: X: -48 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Desert

Desert islands can be quite attractive for a survival game, especially when they’re this big. There’s a village on the largest island, a small lava pool on the middle island, and even a few trees scattered here and there. If you play this Minecraft seed in version 1.21, then you can also descend into the trial chamber under the island at coordinates X: 297 Y: -24 Z: 217.

  • Spawn: X: -80 Z: -16
  • Biomes: Ocean, Snowy Plains

If you’d rather spend time trying to survive on a snowy island, then here’s a great opportunity. This island at spawn has a village, a patch of cold taiga, and a small lava pool, and it’s entirely surrounded by icebergs that often hide shipwrecks inside them. When you’re ready to travel to the south, head over to coordinates X: 333 Y: 73 Z: 595 for some neat trail ruins.

  • Spawn: X: 48 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Taiga, Forest

Not all islands are made of barren land, hot or cold, some are chock full of trees and other resources. The island at spawn accommodates a nice taiga village with a few frms. I also spotted an igloo with a basement at coordinates X: 648 Z: 168, which contains a chest full of gold. But be sure to check the area around the igloo, as there are two more buried treasure chests at coordinates X: 697 Z: 217 and X: 585 Z: 313.

Seed: 664461965102187054

  • Spawn: X: 16 Z: 48
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

If you think that having too many trees on the island at spawn is cheating, then here’s a more challenging seed for you. Although there’s a village here, it has no blacksmith or a lava pool nearby, so don’t expect to move too fast here. However, you can find a way into the trial chamber under the island at coordinates X: 279 Y: -23 Z: 233, as that’s where most of your loot comes from.

Seed: 5382766242228490680

  • Spawn: X: 64 Z: -96
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

Spawn on a large survival island with a village that has lots of farms. There’s a ravine on the island, a patch of forest, and a lava pool for easy obsidian block crafting. More than that, there’s a trial chamber right under the island at coordinates X: 73 Y: -16 Z: -217. This is an incredibly lucky spawn, with lots of resources and challenges for any survival game.

Seed: -113645365531393532

  • Spawn: X: 96 Z: 0
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

If you prefer smaller islands but still want a village and a blacksmith, then here’s a very good Minecraft seed. It has just enough resources for survival, and you can always add more by visiting an ocean monument nearby at coordinates X: 184 Z: -344. The closest village on the mainland that I could find here is located at coordinates X: 128 Z: 544. But I must warn you that this is a zombie village!

Seed: -1823108377002828198

  • Spawn: X: 16 Z: -16
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

For all those Minecraft survivors who consider having a blacksmith and lots of wood at island spawn cheating, here’s the seed with the bare minimum. You get a small village, a couple of farms and trees, and a small patch of flat plains for building. The nearest land is located many hundreds of blocks away in all directions, so be prepared for some truly hardcore survivors.

  • Spawn: X: 0 Z: -32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

Here, you spawn on a couple of islands, one of which happens to have a village. The uninhabited island hides a trial chamber under its foundation at coordinates X: 55 Y: -14 Z: -233. The nearest ocean monument that I could find is located at coordinates X: -248 Z: 200. Fortunately, the mainland isn’t that far, but you need to travel eastward for warm biomes or westward for colder ones.

  • Spawn: X: -16 Z: 64
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

You can’t see it in the screenshot above, but there’s actually a huge mushroom island to the west of the island where you spawn. The nearest coastline can be reached at coordinates X: -264 Z: -168; that’s where you’ll also find an ocean monument. Mushroom islands are excellent for survival, as no hostile mobs ever spawn there.

Seed: -5939487887902338075

Double survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 0 Z: -272
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

Spawn on a mainland with a village on the ocean shore and another village on the survival island, which is located at coordinates X: 16 Z: 0. You can play this survival island Minecraft seed on the 1.21 update, and if you do, then you’ll be happy to find a trial chamber right under the first village at coordinates X: 153 Y: -11 Z: -297. This is another excellent source of loot for you.

  • Spawn: X: -112 Z: -32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

Here’s a similar seed at spawn, but the mainland village is a lot bigger, having six farms, and the survival island village is much smaller at coordinates X: 48 Z: 32. But this time, there’s also an ocean monument right next to an island at coordinates X: 136 Z: 184. If you decide to travel to the north, you’ll soon stumble upon a giant mushroom island, which is surrounded by a few ocean monuments at coordinates X: 712 Z: -360, X: 24 Z: -296, and X: -408 Z: -888.

  • Spawn: X: 224 Z: -64
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

If you value being able to craft items early on, then this seed will fit your needs much better, as it has a blacksmith in the island village at coordinates X: 0 Z: 48. While exploring the southern edges of the map, I also discovered a woodland mansion not too far away from spawn at coordinates X: 504 Z: 472. Be sure to craft some basic armor and weapons before heading inside.

Seed: 5029156509326100068

  • Spawn: X: 32 Z: -64
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains

Anyone who wishes for a much more challenging adventure in survival mode should use this seed, which spawns you on a tiny island with a village and no blacksmith. You’d have to be really creative to survive in such conditions. But since you have access to basic tools and some wood, you can build a boat and travel around in search of resources. The first spot that I’d visit would be an ocean monument at coordinates X: 216 Z: 312.

Seed: 4782628607611187497

Shipwreck and survival island village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 128 Z: -32
  • Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

It’s always nice to land on an island with a village and a shipwreck nearby, which surely has some cool loot inside. Here, I also discovered buried treasure at exact coordinates X: 105 Z: 89. While exploring this island in version 1.21, I also found out that there’s a trial chamber right underneath the village at coordinates X: 121 Y: -25 Z: 57.

Seed: 11225

  • Coordinates: X: 50 Z: 250.
  • Biomes: Savanna, Ocean.

This seed offers a really unique survival island with some finely broken hills and an entire village, unlike other survival islands in Minecraft, which are just little patches of land in the ocean. This island is located relatively close to spawn at coordinates X: -200 Z: 50. I also found an ocean monument close to the island at coordinates X: 200 Z: -250.

Seed: 2218715947278290213

  • Coordinates: X: 50 Z: 50.
  • Biomes: Plains, Ocean.

Four island villages with two blacksmiths at spawn! These four villages are situated on separate survival islands in the midst of the ocean but extremely close to one another. To the south of the islands, there are also three mushroom islands.

Seed: 307909456

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Jagged Peaks, Plains.

Another enormous island with a village at spawn; however, the peak is covered in snow to a greater extent. This seed is unique, as it also has an ancient city directly beneath the mountain at coordinates X: 150 Z: 100. The coordinates of the nearest ocean monument are X: 650 Z: 150.

Seed: 5048680816

  • Spawn: X: -100 Z: -50
  • Biomes: Forest, Plains.

Here’s your chance to live on a gorgeous island with a village at spawn if that’s what you’ve always been looking for in Minecraft. This seed has everything you need for a survival game, including an ocean monument at coordinates X: 50 Z: -150, and a pillager outpost at coordinates X: -800 Z: 200.

Seed: 12370816993565

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Dark Forest, Ocean.

Spawn on a survival island where a woodland mansion and a village are adjacent to each other. There are two neighboring islands close by that have an abundance of various wood species. I was also able to find plenty of ocean ruins and shipwrecks around the islands for some quick and easy loot.

Seed: 3940649691949616

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Savanna, Mangrove Swamp, Ocean

This seed has a wonderful island with lush mangrove trees and an acacia village at coordinates X: 600 Z: 800 if you’re searching for some peaceful seclusion. The closest ocean monument can be seen at coordinates X: 650 Z: 1200, and the closest trail ruins can be explored at coordinates X: -350 Z: 600.

Seed: -3420545196535741639

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Forest, Ocean

You’ll find an ocean monument and an island village at spawn! The island, which is really just a hill in the middle of the ocean, isn’t very big. But there’s enough wood to make a boat and travel to the coast at coordinates X: -350 Z: 200. The closest trail ruins can be found at coordinates X: -1300 Z: -350, and to the east of the island, I located lots of mushroom islands.

Seed: 694200000042445055

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Jungle, Plains, Ocean

Here’s an island village, including a blacksmith and an ocean monument at spawn! This Minecraft seed also includes a sparse jungle biome blended with grasslands, giving it a rather unusual look, which is why I really liked this seed. The ocean monument nearby is a good source of gold, and there’s a shipwreck with a treasure chest right next to it in the water.

Seed: 6946123863878399

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 100
  • Biomes: Forest, Ocean

Woodland mansion and island village at spawn! You might wish to start your survival game with this amazing seed since it essentially has everything you need. What makes it special is that islands with structures are separated here, giving you an advantage when it comes to fighting hostile mobs.

Seed: 204052957135

  • Spawn: X: -50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Plains, Ocean

Here’s another island seed, albeit a harder one than the previous one on the list. This is because when you spawn here, you end up on a survival island with two villages, one of which is a zombie village. I must warn you that you won’t be able to explore it in peace. However, I found a safe haven on a mushroom island biome at coordinates X: -500 Z: -50, so head there if things get too hectic on the main island.

Seed: 4325227337

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Plains, Forest

If you don’t think it’s all that thrilling to live in a sinkhole, this seed offers a village in the middle of a lake during spawn. You’ll notice an exposed ruined portal sitting right next to a village on the same lake. I also found an archeology site for the trail ruins at coordinates X: -400 Z: 300.

Seed: 6942000003196040336

  • Spawn: X: 50 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Various

This is definitely one of the most adaptable seeds in Minecraft. You begin on a multi-biome survival island with a village and a blacksmith. There’s an exposed ruined portal on the beach, and I also found an ocean monument to the south of the island at coordinates X: -400 Z: 300.

Seed: -7311299807977185801

  • Spawn: X: -100 Z: 50
  • Biomes: Various

Two towns facing each other may be found in coordinates X: -400 Z: -144, west of the spawn. There are only 50 blocks between the two villages, so a bridge or two would be plenty to connect them. I also found an ocean monument at coordinates X: -824 Z: -264.

Seed: 6943689290240868

  • Spawn: X: 50, 50
  • Biomes: Plains, Savanna

A double village island with an exposed ruined portal at spawn! This is yet another fortunate discovery that can greatly simplify your survival experience. However, take note of the abandoned Plains village — zombies live there. They’re not dangerous during the daytime, but you’ll need to use torches at night for sure.

Seed: 979533140936020979

  • Spawn: X: -350, 150
  • Biomes: Taiga, Ocean

Spawn on the ocean shore to the west of a little island with a tiny village and a massive woodland mansion standing next to each other at coordinates X: 128 Z: 176. You can easily get there by boat, but if it seems a bit too extreme for you, then opt for a nice village on the lakeshore at coordinates X: -784 Z: -160.
