Minecraft 1.18: Top 20 Seeds List
Blacksmith village by the beach

- Seed: -4385561619939842481
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 29, -13
- Biomes: Beach, Plains, Stony Shores
Finding a village with a Blacksmith at the start of a Minecraft world is already a great thing. To sweeten up this seed, the beach next to the village has three buried treasure chests hidden within it! Use the resources from the village and the chests to craft tools to mine the ores on the nearby Stony Shores. Afterward, craft strong gear and fight the Pillager Outpost in the distance.

Floating Nether portal

- Seed: -4009843459719648366
- Version: Java
- Spawn: -2, 4
- Biomes: Plains, Swamp
In most cases, creating a Nether Portal in the overworld causes one to spawn on top of any Nether biome. However, the Nether Portal in this seed has mysteriously generated in the middle of the air! The portal has spawned a few blocks of obsidian around it to prevent you from falling. Finding ways to explore the Nether despite this handicap would make for a fun adventure.

Woodland Mansion riches

- Seed: 1416285832177280959
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Dark Forest, Forest, Plains
Woodland Mansions are often notoriously difficult to find, especially if you’re looking for one close to Spawn. This seed contains a Woodland Mansion that is just over 500 blocks from the start of the world. What makes it better than similarly close Mansions is the presence of a secret room on the third floor hiding a diamond block encased in obsidian! If you’re able to craft a diamond pickaxe, you’ll easily gather 9 more diamonds and enough obsidian for a Nether portal here.

- Biomes: Snowy Slopes, Jagged Peaks
This seed displays the full glory of the cliffs available in Minecraft 1.18 with a snowy twist. There are a variety of caverns sprinkled throughout the cliffs. Each cave is filled with precious minerals, making adventuring into any of them a worthwhile trip. The west side of the mountain range is home to a cozy Plains Village while the east has an igloo hidden in the snow.

Snowy Outpost by Plains Village

- Seed: -4833688743539566500
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 23, -33
- Biomes: Forest, Meadow, Snowy Slopes
A Pillager Outpost stands tall over the lone patch of Snowy Slopes biome within this Meadow. To its right is a Plains Village next to a ruined Nether portal. While the portal is incomplete, there are enough obsidian blocks in its chest to rebuild it as well as a flint-and-steel to light it. This means you can go to the Nether as soon as you reach this area.

After entering this world, walk to the northwest. You’ll come across two Plains Villages next to each other and a Swamp biome.

- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Badlands, Desert, Jungle
This Desert Temple has generated on the side of a hill, causing its front entrance to be too tall to reach. Thankfully, you can easily enter it by climbing the hill and dropping through the top of the temple. The coast west of the temple is home to a Desert Village. It’s the perfect place to set up base using the treasures from the temple’s secret basement room.

Snowy Village ravine

- Seed: 8943883195448331833
- Version: Java
- Spawn: -16, 72
- Biomes: Forest, Snowy Plains
Placing villages partially inside caves is something that could never happen in previous versions of Minecraft. However, the Caves and Cliffs update now allows village homes to spawn at the bottom of ravines, as you’ll discover in the first Snowy Village. A similarly unique phenomenon happens in the second village due to a small ravine cutting through it.

If you gather a little iron from one of the surrounding hills, you can use the lava beneath the portal and the water from the village’s river to craft the final block and enter the Nether.
