Best Minecraft Seeds to Use in 1.20
Five Structure Spawn Point
Seed: 5096400208146136927
This seed drops you into the middle of a cluster of structures, each packed with valuable materials and fun challenges to uncover and overcome. The Village offers an excellent chance for players to stock up on helpful items like bread and iron early.

There’s even a Ravine nearby filled with available ores like coal and iron.
Mushroom Island
Seed: -7291835737515029772
This seed spawns you into the heart of a picturesque island with a rare mushroom biome. If you’d instead build your base somewhere more ordinary, a forest biome and a plains biome are just a short swim away.

Cherry Tree Village
Seed: 3477968804511828743
This seed spawns you just a short walk from a village nestled amid a beautiful grove of cherry trees. Just follow the canopy of pink cherry blossoms, and you’ll find it. The village’s architecture weaves organically through the network of trees, creating an unbelievably beautiful aesthetic that’s difficult to look away from. If you don’t want to disrupt the natural splendor of the cherry trees, there is a dense forest nearby filled with lumber and livestock for you to harvest from. This seed gives you just about everything you’d want for a permanent place to settle down close to spawn.
Ancient City Mineshaft
Seed: 7980363013909395816
If you are looking for the perfect seed for spelunking, look no further. Directly next to spawn, you’ll find an abandoned mineshaft that leads to an Ancient City.

Ancient City Trail
Seed: 4349791831285849707
If you’re still in the mood to plunder an Ancient City, this is the seed for you. This seed spawns you on the peak of a giant mountain that’s been cracked in two by a giant ravine. At the bottom rests an Ancient City ripe for exploration. Not only is this Ancient City filled with just as much treasure as any other, but the mountain around it is filled with valuable ores and even a few diamonds. It’s also an extremely memorable landmark, so you can use it as a reference point if you ever get lost.
Survival Islands
Seed: 2622795609673772012
Survival Islands are self-contained environments that challenge players to make the most of the limited resources at their disposal. This seed spawns you on a relatively large island with a small taiga forest surrounded by a freezing-cold sea packed with icebergs. The choice is yours: hunker down and build a home for yourself within the woods, or brave the elements and seek a life out in the tundra.
Shipwreck Island
Seed: 44954149752793085
Speaking of survival islands, this seed places you on a shipwreck island. Near the island, you’ll find an abandoned ship.

Coastline Village
Seed: 4966143940190379212
If you are still looking for a tremendous water-themed seed with a bit of a twist, head into this seaside village. After you spawn, you’ll find a Village perched on the coastline with a nearby cherry tree grove. Next to the Village, you’ll find a Woodland Village and some trail Ruins. If this all seems too safe and comfortable for you, there’s a Pillager Outpost not far from the Village, so you can have some experience with Raids by provoking them.
Massive Bamboo Forest with Nearby Desert
Seed: 8061
Sometimes, bamboo can be hard to find in Minecraft, but this seed has some right at spawn. It spawns you in the middle of a giant bamboo forest bordering a desert biome, so you can stock up on all the bamboo you could ever want.

Structured Beach Spawn
Seed: 46546761360

Once you’ve equipped yourself, you can explore the ocean outside the borders of civilization. The seafloor is home to several Shipwrecks to plunder if you’re willing to tangle with Elder Guardians. There’s also a Woodlands mansion near your spawn if you want to get on some Armor Trims or a Totem of Undying.
Hidden Dangers Beneath a Beautiful Mountain
Seed: 4148062705
Though many Ancient City seeds have been mentioned so far in this list, this seed has the most by far.

Warring Village

If you want a nice twist on the typical “spawn in a village” seed, then this seed is right for you. This seed has two villages, one normal and one infested with zombies.

Badlands, Desert Savannah Village
Seed: 9119209733656660220

Village Near Abandoned Mineshaft
Seed: 7173685295286599792
Like most other seeds on this list, this one has a village right at spawn, but an exposed mineshaft nearby separates this seed from the others.

The mineshaft even has a few chests strewn about with rare items and materials, making it worth the trek into the depths.
