Minecraft 1.21: Top 20 Best Seeds for September 2024

20 – Taiga Outpost guarding Lush Cave

• Seed: 6255717877570718455
• Spawn: -8, -9
• Biomes: Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Taiga

In this Taiga, a Pillager Outpost stands guard over a large Lush Cave. It’s far enough to allow you to sneak into the cave but close enough to pose a threat still. In addition to the outpost, you’ll have access to a set of Trail Ruins.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Trail Ruins: 95, 29	Trail Ruins: 95, 29
Pillager Outpost: 23, 152	Ruined Nether portal: 5, 133
Lush Cave: 79, 47, 154	Lush Cave: 79, 47, 154

19 – Deep Dark mountain

• Seed: 4826836514737034883
• Spawn: 2, 8
• Biomes: Cherry Grove, Plains, Snowy Slopes

A Deep Dark biome covers the caverns beneath this mountain. On the walk towards it, you’ll come across a ruined Nether portal and a large cavern dropping down into deepslate and a Deep Dark biome. Continue to explore underground to find two separate Ancient Cities. If you don’t feel prepared to take them on, stop by the Plains Village by the far side of the mountain.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Ruined Nether portal: 227, 22	Plains Village: 223, 191
Plains Village: 251, -434	Buried Treasure: 392, 62, 200
Ancient City 1: 133, -45, -256	Ancient City 1: 118, -42, -289
Ancient City 2: 389, -45, -304	Ancient City 2: 448, -42, -280

18 – Pillager Outpost above a Cavern

• Seed: -6822028050334191414
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Plains, Taiga, Windswept Gravelly Hills

A cobblestone and dark oak pillar descends from this Pillager Outpost into the cavern below. After defeating the Pillagers, you can use this pillar by lining it with ladders. Walk a few dozen blocks to the southeast to find a Plains Village. Use the villagers and their farms to rest up and gather any materials you might be missing.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Plains Village 1: 388, 359	Pillager Outpost: 215, 152
Plains Village 2: 667, 267	Plains Village: 247, 248

17 – Mushroom Sanctuary

• Seed: -4321675196973609001
• Spawn: -560, -48
• Biomes: Plains, Ocean, Mushroom Fields

Mushroom Islands are one of the safest biomes in Minecraft. This is because hostile mobs cannot naturally spawn on the island’s special Mycelium blocks. So long as you make a bed and keep away from the water at night, you’ll be able to live a peaceful life easily. Just make sure to bring tree saplings with you so you don’t run out of wood.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Plains Village 1: -689, 43	Buried Treasure 1: -568, 60, -120
Plains Village 2: -802, -141	Buried Treasure 2: -552, 58, -168
Mushroom Island: -158, -486	Mushroom Island: -158, -486

16 – Underwater Trail Ruins

• Seed: 9120421497894669318
• Spawn: -416, -320
• Biomes: Jungle, Stony Shores, Lukewarm Ocean

Trail Ruins are often found poking above the surface in certain biomes, like Taigas and Birch Forests. However, they can also rarely spawn inside bodies of water. This seed is an extremely special case because Bedrock players will find a set of Trail Ruins at the bottom of a Lukewarm Ocean. Several of the gravel blocks have broken away from the structure, giving the appearance that it is slowly melting away into the water. However, don’t be fooled by its unique exterior. Its underwater appearance is beautiful, but it is one of the most difficult types of Trail Ruins to excavate.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Shallow underwater Trail Ruins: -450, 63, -210	Deep underwater Trail Ruins: -452, 54, -212
Ruined Portal: -639, -365	Buried Treasure: -440, 67, -248
Trial Chambers: -473, -31, -343	Trial Chambers: -473, -31, -343

15 – Meet the Creaking

• Seed: 7051398675019607654
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Pale Garden, Dark Forest, Grove

The Pale Garden is the newest biome, but also one of the hardest Overworld biomes to find. This seed makes the process easier by having one of the largest Pale Gardens I’ve ever seen a short walk away from Spawn. While exploring the garden, you’ll come across a Lush Cave hidden within it. Use the cave as a starting point to make your way to a Trial Chamber structure deep underground.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Vast Pale Garden: 46, -255	Vast Pale Garden: 46, -255
Lush Cave: 164, -283	Lush Cave: 164, -283
Trial Chambers: 208, -1, -182	Trial Chambers: 208, -1, -182

14 – Lucky Survival island

• Seed: -3304516220118857984
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Savanna, Plains, Ocean

Java players will spawn on a survival island with two Savanna Villages, one Plains Village, and one Desert Village in this seed. The Plains village has a blacksmith, and there’s also an Ocean Monument near the island. On top of that, I discovered that there are not one but two Trial Chambers underneath the island. What a fantastic seed!

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Savanna Village 1: 0,0	Small Warm Ocean Ruin: 44, 99
Savanna Village 2: -160, 16	Buried Treasure: 136, 44, -40
Desert Village: -144, -176	Large Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster: -169, -201
Plains Village: 0, -176	Shipwreck: -236, -344

Trial Chamber 2: 23, -29, 89	Trial Chamber 2: 23, -29, 89

13 – Cherry Valley

• Seed: 866322449004965042
• Spawn: 32, -64
• Biomes: Plains, Cherry Grove

One of the safest places to spawn is in a village surrounded by hills or mountains. This seed spawns you in a Cherry Grove valley with a lake and a small village. There’s another village outside the valley, giving you access to a few extra resources. I was also able to locate a Trial Chamber right under the lake if you’re looking for a challenge. Additionally, there’s a small lavafall near the village that you can use to create a Nether Portal.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Cherry Grove Valley: Spawn	Cherry Grove valley: Spawn
Trial Chambers: 71, -18, 105	Trial Chambers: 71, -18, 105
Plains Village: -368, 64	Plains Village: -364, 168

12 – Snowy island with four villages

• Seed: 1559371371765394490
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Ice Plains, Frozen Ocean

If you like the idea of spawning on an island with many villages but you want it to be more challenging, then here’s an excellent opportunity. There are four villages on the snowy island at spawn surrounded by massive and small icebergs. Besides the villages, you’ll only really find an Ocean Monument to the southeast and a few small ocean structures hidden beneath the ice.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Snowy Village 1: 34, 18	Large Cold Ocean Ruin Cluster 1: 70, -246
Snowy Village 2: 6, -113	Large Cold Ocean Ruin Cluster 2: -297, -278
Snowy Village 3: -141, -146	Shipwreck: -186, 180
Snowy Village 4: -162, 9	Ocean Monument: 248, 200

11 – Badlands crystal lake

• Seed: -6307572753109090232
• Spawn: 112, 0
• Biomes: Badlands

Typically, Badlands biomes are very dry with very few sources of water. Imagine my surprise when I spawned next to a clear blue lake amidst the Badland’s rocky hills. Beyond this, you’ll find a Desert Temple balanced at the edge of one of the cliffs overlooking the lake. The rest of the area is quite empty, with the only village around more than 700 blocks away.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Badlands crystal lake: 238, -231	Badlands crystal lake: 238, -231
Desert Temple: 216, -136	Ancient City 1: 112, -45, -229
Desert Village: -544, 368	Ancient City 2: 400, -45, -346

10 – Mansion Island

• Seed: 7787461402
• Spawn: -994, -324
• Biomes: Various

Small islands are always predictable, but bigger islands always have a few surprises. That’s the case with this Minecraft seed, which has a large multi-biome island with a Woodland Mansion and a Savanna Village. I also managed to locate a Trial Chamber right under the mansion and an Ocean Monument in the nearby waters.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Woodland Mansion island: 56, 104	Multi-biome island: 56, 104
Trial Chambers: 57, -28, 89	Trial Chambers: 57, -28, 89
Savanna Village: 188, 299	Ocean Monument: -200, -360
Ocean Monument: -184, -216	Ancient City: -1,016, -44, -296

9 – Triple Blacksmith village

• Seed: 3456897235123
• Spawn: 16, -48
• Biomes: Plains, Jungle, Forest

There’s nothing better than finding a village with a blacksmith in Minecraft. But imagine finding not one, not two, but three blacksmiths in the same village. That’s triple the loot and speed of crafting, which is one of the rarest things you’ll ever encounter in Minecraft.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Plains Village: -384, 112	Plains Village: 129, -193
Three Blacksmith Village: 1,472, 0	Ruined Portal: 86, -298

8 – Stony survival island

• Seed: 38596172
• Spawn: 448, -160
• Biomes: Various

Seeds starting on an island can be difficult to find, especially those with a village. This seed starts off on an island with a village that has a blacksmith and lots of gravel and granite. Once I started researching the underground part of the island, I discovered that there was an Ancient City underneath it. Bedrock players will have six pieces of buried treasure scattered around the island instead of these structures.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Stony Island: 78, 21	Stony Island: 78, 21
Plains Village: 64, 64	Buried Treasure 1: 72, 65, 88
Ancient City: 24, -44, 136	Buried Treasure 2: 8, 70, 72

7 – Frozen Peaks village

• Seed: 203387797884864327
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Meadow, Frozen Peaks

If you’re looking for the safest possible environment to spawn in, then check out this seed. You’ll spawn inside a ring-shaped mountain containing a village. The Frozen Peaks surrounding this area protect it from dangers outside of the mountain. Once you’re ready to explore more, start digging under the village until you reach an Ancient City. That’s when the real challenge begins!

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Frozen Peaks Village:	Ancient City: 192, -42, 105
Ancient City: 104, -44, 8	Cherry Village: -293, -282

6 – Mineshaft start

• Seed: 6800624489216253987
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Taiga

Here’s one of the most unusual spawns I’ve ever encountered. The game will drop you right at the bottom of a ravine that has an exposed mineshaft ready to be used. I suggest finding a loot chest as quickly as possible to get some weapons and gear, as there are going to be lots and lots of mobs running around as soon as it goes dark.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Mineshaft: 9, 42, -1	Buried Treasure: -120, 48, 264

5 – Ancient chambers beneath the village

• Seed: 7480735959006389651
• Spawn: -96, -48
• Biomes: Plains

Typically, Trial Chambers and Ancient Cities don’t spawn in the same area. However, in this seed, I spotted a village with both of these underground structures present in the ground beneath it. On top of that, I also discovered Trail Ruins not too far away. This means that there’s going to be lots of digging and mining in this seed, so be well prepared.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Trial Chambers: -873, -16, -265	Trial Chambers: -873, -16, -265
Plains Village: -832, -256	Plains Village: -888, -376
Ancient City: -1,112, -51, -232	Ancient City: -1,016, -44, -296
Trail Ruins: -1,282, -210	Trail Ruins: -1,283, -211

4 – Crater Mansion

• Seed: 1942458842591650915
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Forest, Jagged Peaks

Spawn inside a huge mountain crater with a woodland mansion and a village that has a blacksmith. Note that the trial chamber is located right under the mansion at coordinates X: 201 Y: -20 Z: 183. The surrounding area outside the mountain ring also has lots of points of interest, such as the jungle temple at coordinates X: 232 Z: -248 and an igloo with a basement at coordinates X: -440 Z: 872.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Mountain Crater Mansion: 190, 158	Ruined Portal: 100, 200

3 – Jagged Peaks village

• Seed: 8186817
• Spawn: 6, 16
• Biomes: Meadow, Jagged Peaks

If you like the idea of having a village with a blacksmith inside the mountain ring but wish there was no woodland mansion, then this seed will match you perfectly. Note that there’s an igloo near the village at coordinates X: -152 Z: -296, although it has no basement. I also managed to find another village outside the crater at coordinates X: -240 Z: 224.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)

2 – Tall Desert island

• Seed: 1040934860
• Spawn: -880, 224
• Biomes: Desert, Badlands, Ocean

This survival island Minecraft seed has a Desert Village with a weaponsmith in Java Edition. It’s an unusual sight because it consists of wooded badlands and is hollow inside with a giant Lush Cave. The surrounding area consists almost exclusively of a Warm Ocean, which means lots and lots of Coral Reefs.

1 – Pillager canyon

• Seed: 7467732458949764285
• Spawn: -32, 32
• Biomes: Savanna

If you’re looking for a bit of a challenge, then this seed will spawn you in the river canyon with a Pillager Outpost embedded into the cliffside. Don’t worry too much, as there’s a nice village nearby where you can get armor and weapons to beat those pesky pillagers. Once you’re done with them, be sure to check out the Trial Chamber near the village.

Key Java Locations (X, Z)	Key Bedrock Locations (X, Z)
Pillager Outpost: 25, 105	Savanna Village: 163, 324
Plains Village: -192, 240	Pillager Outpost: 602, 395
