Minecraft 1.20: Top 30 Best Speedrun Seeds

Seed: -6169830529620865513

• Spawn: X: -208 Z: 288
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

What makes this seed a great speedrun seed is a very close proximity to a stronghold, which makes it only 700 blocks away from spawn. The stronghold is located at coordinates X: -908 Z: 948. There’s also a nice island village at spawn, but it’s better to check out the village on your way to the stronghold at coordinates X: -1,040 Z: 144, as it has a lava source suitable for making nether portal.

Seed: 3099582673412240533

• Spawn: X: -16 Z: 64
• Biomes: Plains

Spawn in the village with a blacksmith and an underground ruined portal at exact coordinates X: 40 Z: 40. The nearest stronghold that I could find is located at coordinates X: -908 Z: 964. There’s also a second stronghold in the vicinity, but it’s a bit further at coordinates X: 1,700 Z: 292. The ruined portal at spawn will send you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: -85 Z: 107.

Seed: 6597289620563351353

• Spawn: X: -48 Z: -32
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

This seed also spawns you in the village, and it also has two strongholds near spawn. The closest one can be found under the island at coordinates X: 980 Z: -908, but I urge you to check out the other one instead at coordinates X: -1,388 Z: -572. The reason is that it already has one active eye in the socket, and it’s easier to get to this stronghold via the ground.

Seed: -2211859906862618599

• Spawn: X: -32 Z: -80
• Biomes: Plains, Swampland

There’s a nice swamp near spawn with a village, where you’ll find an almost complete ruined portal, a witch hut, and a lava pool at coordinates X: -504 Z: -248. This portal will take you to the nearest nether fortress at coordinates X: -789 Z: -85. Then, you can travel to the stronghold at coordinates X: 964 Z: -924 and quickly finish your game.

Seed: 380367877662975546

• Spawn: X: 144 Z: 64
• Biomes: Plains

It’s always nice to find an End portal in a stronghold that has 25% of active eyes already placed in the socket. You can find such a stronghold at coordinates X: 1,028 Z: 964. There’s also a village nearby with a ruined portal at coordinates X: 1,288 Z: 872. All this should speed up your speedrun walkthrough of the game!

Seed: 3598926831184723153

• Spawn: X: -32 Z: 48
• Biomes: Snow Plains

Spawn in a snow village with an almost finished exposed ruined portal. There’s also an igloo with a basement on the frozen river nearby at coordinates X: 152 Z: 24. The portal will take you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: 363 Z: -149. The nearest stronghold can be found at coordinates X: 1,012 Z: 932, which is less than 900 blocks away from the spawn.

Seed: 4500559044323421756

• Spawn: X: -192 Z: 224
• Biomes: Plains, Ocean

Here, I spawned on the ocean shore with a close view of a small island and village at coordinates X: 16 Z: 16. Fortunately, there’s also an exposed ruined portal near the island at coordinates X: 72 Z: 56, which you can rebuild on the surface. The portal will spawn you near the nether fortress at coordinates X: 187 Z: -261. Also, I found a very close stronghold at coordinates X: -844 Z: 1,284.

Seed: 3889736384133621308

• Spawn: X: -224 Z: 0
• Biomes: Plains

As soon as you spawn, check out the nearest village at coordinates X: 32 Z: 0, and then go straight to the exposed ruined portal at coordinates X: -584 Z: 184. This is a double ruin that has enough obsidian to rebuild a complete portal, which will take you to the nether fortress at coordinates X: -197 Z: -373. Once you have enough blaze rods, move to the stronghold at coordinates X: -652 Z: 1,332.

Seed: 3216418331409821042

• Spawn: X: -48 Z: -256
• Biomes: Plains

The easiest way to activate an End portal is to find one with at least a few active Eyes of Ender. In this seed, I found a stronghold with two active eyes already set at coordinates X: -1,308 Z: -1,020, which is pretty close to where you spawn. There’s also an underground nether portal near spawn at coordinates X: -280 Z: -328, which can easily get you to the nether fortress at coordinates X: -149 Z: -181.

Seed: -7972568124274348840

• Spawn: X: 64 Z: 272
• Biomes: Plains

If you think that two active eyes aren’t enough, then here’s the speedrun Minecraft seed with a close end portal that has three active eyes of ender at coordinates X: 1,188 Z: 932. But you also get a village at spawn and an underground nether portal at coordinates X: 376 Z: 40. The nearest nether frotress can be found at coordinates X: 299 Z: 363.

Seed: -8217300244734805565

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

Spawn in extremely beneficial conditions with two villages and two blacksmiths. There’s also a lava pool nearby and lots of water, where you can easily make obsidian blocks for your nether portal. Once in the nether, you can easily find two fortresses at coordinates X: -85 Z: 27 and X: 27 Z: 283. The nearest stronghold is located at coordinates X: -876 Z: -988, which is less than 1,000 blocks away from spawn.

Seed: -877838599557741500

• Spawn: X: 160 Z: 80
• Biomes: Plains, Forest, Ocean

If you don’t want to build your own nether portal, then here’s the speedrun Minecraft seed that will spawn in the village with a ruined portal that needs just a bit of fixing. When ready, it’ll take you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: 59 Z: 123 or X: 219 Z: -181. After collecting blaze rods, head over to coordinates X: 1,044 Z: -780 for the nearest stronghold in the overworld.

Seed: -2688788476692851832

• Spawn: X: -96 Z: -144
• Biomes: Plains

Here’s a similar seed that I found with a village and a ruined portal near spawn at coordinates X: -288 Z: -304. The best part about this seed is that the ruined portal lacks only a couple of obsidian blocks, and it’ll be ready. This portal will take you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: -85 Z: -133. I was also very lucky to find a stronghold as close as 700 blocks from the spawn at coordinates X: -876 Z: -956.

Seed: 2903749162235559100

• Spawn: X: 112 Z: -48

You’ll spawn in a cliffside village with a blacksmith and a ruined portal in the ocean nearby at coordinates X: 24 Z: 200. Alternatively, you can visit another village at coordinates X: 848 Z: 400 with a surface-level ruined portal. Then, head towards the nearest stronghold at coordinates X: 980 Z: 948, which has an end portal with one active eye already set.

Seed: 1740137953050769783

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

After you spawn on the ocean shore with a village, check out the ruined portal at coordinates X: 104 Z: 296 for quick access to the nether. Then, travel to coordinates X: 1,028 Z: 916 for a stronghold with an end portal that has two active eyes. This portal also has an entrance from the amethyst geode, which leads into the dungeon and an ancient city right down below.

Seed: 7836381372989221025

• Spawn: 50, 50
• Biomes: Plains, Taiga

The starting area has an exposed ruined portal present but no village. Don’t worry: you don’t need it to enter the portal since everything you need is in the portal chest.

Once you enter the Nether, you can quickly find the Nether Fortress at coordinates 50, 100. Travel to overworld coordinates 1350, -700 for a stronghold. I was glad to find out that the End Portal had three active eyes already. You can find it at coordinates 1365, -15, -685.

After quickly restoring the portal, go ahead and find the Nether fortress at coordinates -100, -250. I found the stronghold back in the overworld at coordinates -2000, 50. The End Portal had only one active eye this time at coordinates -1935, 35, 55.

The portal will take you to the Nether with a fortress at coordinates -50, -300. Go back to the overworld and locate the stronghold at coordinates -1550, -800. The End Portal inside has only one active eye at coordinates -1500, -15, -800.

The nearest fortress can be found at coordinates -500, -250. Once you have crafted the Ender Eyes, you need to travel to coordinates 1350, -100. This stronghold has the End portal with four active eyes at coordinates 1310, -25, -135.

This one will make you travel a bit for the perfect village with a ruined portal and blacksmith at coordinates -1050, 600, but it’s totally worth it. You’ll spot the double Nether fortress at coordinates -1500, 500. The stronghold in the overworld is sitting at coordinates -1850, 50, which is quite close to the village. I’ve found the End portal at coordinates -1835, 20, 25.

Spawn in a small village with a lava pool and a source of water for easy obsidian block farming. Once you have the nether portal ready, it’ll take you straight to the nether fortress at coordinates X: -373 Z: 299. I spotted the nearest stronghold at coordinates X: -1,964 Z: 788, but it’s located underwater. If that’s not too convenient for you, then hop over to coordinates X: 1,204 Z: 1,060 for another stronghold, although it’s a bit further.

Seed: 305604063862969315

• Spawn: X: 0 Z: 32

It’ll take you to the nether coordinates X: -133 Z: -101, where you’ll find a fortress and two bastion remnant structures. The nearest stronghold in the overworld can be found at coordinates X: -2,364 Z: 660.
