Upon spawning, you'll be greeted by a series of soft oinks and snuffly snouts. Piggies! You can stay and live among them until they accept you as one of their own, or you can head to higher ground and start a new life on a new biome -- several of which are just a stroll away.

Head upriver to come across two villages -- one green and lush with grass, the other standing as an oasis among its desert biome. As you can see in the screenshot, there's also a desert temple overlooking the village, just to make things even more bountiful.

Why dig deeply and greedily underground when the best bits have already been brought to the surface? That's right: a chest in this village contains three diamonds as well as a set of iron horse armor! You'll spawn inland, surrounded by light and dark forests, giving this seed a bit of an oldschool fantasy flavor.

Eat your heart out, pride rock. This stunning floating island is practically at the doorstep of your spawn point, giving players a fantastic introduction to this awesome Minecraft seed. The presence of a river flowing out to sea nearby suggests that a diving board is all this surreal rock formation needs to be perfect.

You'll spawn atop a tall tree overlooking a forest -- three different types of forest, in fact, with three tree-laden biomes harmoniously forming one massive forest. Mushrooms flourish under the shade of the trees, while parts of the swamp biome provide flat land for building.

Is that.. are those pumpkins, growing underwater? You'll be able to judge that yourself from where you spawn, looking out to sea. With an ocean monument in the distance and a generously-sized island to start, there'll be plenty of room to grow and thrive in this seed.

Drag yourself ashore and gaze it into the distance -- is that mountain gesturing at you? How rude! Make your way across rolling sand dunes and a sun-scorched savanna to get to the truth of the matter.

Seed: 7893459623805272946 

You'll spawn in a large desert. Thankfully, thirst isn't yet a Minecraft mechanic, so you can take your time exploring your surrounds. Not far from spawn is a desert temple, as well as an open pool of lava! With the temple plundered and your items sacrificed to the lava, you'll find yourself moving beyond the desert and to the dense forests beyond.

This seed features multiple lava waterfalls and dense forest. You could race forward and try to contain the inevitable spread of fire... or you could build yourself the best seat in the house and watch forest and jungle alike burn for kicks.

Seed: 3396764401254439635

The mountains and the seaside are both popukar holiday locations. Why not bring them together? That seems to be the rationale behind this seed. Climb the foothills you spawned on to get a better view of the range, which tapers off inland somewhat in favor of dense forestry. Perfect for supervillains in search of locations for thier evil lair.
