The best Minecraft seeds of 2024

Best crossplay games: Minecraft character stand on top of a cave that creepers spill out of.

Discovering one of the best Minecraft seeds is a fantastic way to improve your Minecraft experience. After all, a lot of the game isn’t just about creating your own slice of life, but also exploring strange new worlds too. 

All you need to do when checking out Minecraft seeds is type in a seed code and then load right in. It’s always possible to dive into a random seed but with an endless supply of options, it’s good to pursue those that others have already deemed to be the best Minecraft seeds. 

These seeds are hugely varied. One might provide you with access to a particular resource you’re in need of while another might throw you into a mysterious dungeon or a beautiful landscape to check out. We’d recommend pairing up this experience with the best Minecraft shaders and texture packs for the ultimate experience. We’ve tried to narrow things down to the very best. Spend some time reading through our selections, then tap in the seed codes through the Minecraft world selection screen, and you’re all set.

Survival Island Villages

Seed: 2218715947278290213

For new players, Survival Island Villages is a good starting point. You spawn near a village that has all the resources you could need including a blacksmith. The whole island has four villages and there are mushroom islands nearby too. It's a great introduction without being demanding.

Incredible Hollow Mountain

Seed: 8486672581758651406

Spawning inside a huge forest is instantly appealing. It's dark and a bit foreboding but as you move forward, you can make your way to a hollowed-out mountain. From there are mineshafts to check out for resources, and eventually a woodland mansion. Torches are essential here if you want to see what's going on.

Diamond Caves

Seed: 4361528937055201680

Finding diamonds is a key part of Minecraft and this seed offers that while looking great too. Placed near hills and an intricate cave system, you'll soon find plenty of valuable diamonds to mine. Besides diamonds, there's no shortage of copper, dripstone, and other resources. There's an underground village too which is fun to check out.

Underwater Temple

Seed: 1013382714437321718

It's a tough one but this Underwater Temple is a particular delight if you pair it up with a water-improving shader. The temple is full of dangerous enemies but get past that and you also find treasure chests full of rare items. For players looking for the risk/reward factor, it's quite the excursion.

Submerged Obsidian Farm

Seed: 8880302588844065321

Starting out near a village that's partially submerged in water, you'll soon find a ton of obsidian to farm here. The village is useful too even if it lacks a blacksmith, and you won't have to worry too much about major dangers other than a few wolves. Look out for the lava pool.

Fortnite map

Seed: 50774022433

Effectively looking like an old Fortnite map, this Minecraft seed combines two hugely popular games in one. While you won't be fighting 99 other players at the same time as exploring, you'll appreciate the forest biome that offers a woodland mansion, a shipwreck to explore off the coast, a ruined Nether portal, and a mountain range full of iron and emerald veins.

Cherry Blossom biome

Seed: 1861965201489179097

Check out this seed for a luscious cherry blossom biome. Part of the 1.20 update, it also offers a village nearby but ultimately, the selling point here is those ever-delightful cherry blossom trees. You can harvest them for cherry wood and cherry leaves or simply gaze on in wonder. There's an exposed ruined portal too.

Mountain valley villages

Seed: 460628901

Mountains are cool and these mountains are cool in every sense of the word. You spawn right in the middle of them with a village nearby. Plenty of dripstone is available both underground and out in the open with a dark oak forest near too, and plenty of other resources.

Desert village

(Image credit: Future/Jen Allen)

Seed: 3546842701776989958

This seed packs a lot in. You get a desert village, a temple, an outpost, plus a shipwreck to explore too. Pillagers are everywhere so it's not an easy or relaxing seed to check out, but it's worth making the effort.

Ancient City

(Image credit: Future/Jen Allen)

Seed: 4189766944005904899

Minecraft is about mining, right? That's what this Ancient City mineshaft provides in abundance. There are Wardens to deal with here but in exchange, you find an abandoned mineshaft which is also full of plenty of chests for looting. It won't be an easy task but it's certainly a satisfying adventure.

Villager spawn

Seed: 8015641954194115677

Want more village homes than you could possibly need? This villager spawn has over 25 homes in a luscious savannah-like biome. It's surrounded by water with a jungle also nearby the village. A plethora of chests continue to keep things interesting. Count on finding plenty of valuable resources if you search.

All biomes

Seed: 4405134068028

Want to check out a seed that has all the biomes possible and relatively near to each other? This is the seed for you. You won't have to spend too long travelling to find valuable resources or see just how varied Minecraft can be. The lack of thorough exploration may be off-putting for some but if you want to get a quick hit, this is a good seed to try.

Mushroom Newbie

(Image credit: Future/Jen Allen)

Seed: 3832188667730420108

Starting out can be baffling so this seed is a good introduction. It offers a huge mushroom island that won't spawn hostile mobs so you can simply chill here. There's also a nearby desert village along with a jungle for collecting other resources. It's mostly pleasantly harmless although watch out for the desert temple.

Two villages with one huge desert

Seed: 4633273364480143515

If you want a little bit of everything, check out this seed. It offers two desert-based villages with multiple mushroom islands nearby, a forested area, badlands, and -- of course -- a massive desert. Its strength is in how varied it is and it’s likely to suit most moods.

Bizarre tower castle...thing?

(Image credit: Minecraft)

Seed: 721962327732268233

Want to spawn halfway up a massive tower that’s also part castle? Left in the ocean and surrounded by icy terrain, this is a weird place that feels like it should be out of a fantasy movie. There’s a lot of potential here though as you could carve out a home of sorts. If nothing else, its sense of scale and verticality makes it stand out from the crowd wonderfully.
