Minecraft 1.16.5: Top 30 Seeds List

Starting Stronghold

• Seed: -250494459
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 632, 8
• Biomes: Desert, Plains

Nothing is sweeter than a Minecraft seed with an End Portal next to Spawn. This world begins in a Plains Village next to a Desert and a Savanna. By traveling into the Desert and digging down, you’ll drop into one of the Stronghold’s many staircases. Walk through it’s halls to find an End Portal with two Eyes of Ender already inserted.

Dangerous Desert

• Seed: 7353724656830272592
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 171, -26
• Biomes: Desert, Plains, Savanna

If you’re looking for a challenge, look no further than this Desert world. There are three Desert Temples and two Pillager Outposts in the area surrounding Spawn. If you’re not confident in taking them on barehanded, visit the village by the first temple to gather supplies before moving on to the hostile structures. By the time you conquer them all, you’ll be the owner of untold riches.

Desert Village with Desert Temple: 534, -222
Desert Temple 2: 520, 120

Six temple Jungle

• Seed: 29984597
• Version: Bedrock
• Spawn: 44, 4
• Biomes: Jungle, Jungle Hills

Six Jungle Temples occupy this large Jungle. They’re scattered around the biome so you will need to travel around to reach them all. While exploring them, make sure to uncover the secret chest inside of each one for special treasures. Players who tire of the Jungle can head east to wander through a Snowy Plains biome.

Mushroom peninsula

• Seed: -8049776397178681697
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -196, 248
• Biomes: Mushroom Island, Savanna

One of the coolest aspects of Minecraft 1.16.5 is that you can often find Mushroom Field biomes attached to other biomes. In this seed, you spawn on a small survival island next to a Mushroom Island connected to a Savanna. You’ll be surprised to find an acacia village crossing over from the Savanna into the mushroom biome. There is another village a thousand blocks away; otherwise, you’ll need to explore the ocean for structures.

Spawn Mansion

• Seed: 7982634199012855771
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 128, 32
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

A cozy little village is at Spawn alongside a small two-story Woodland Mansion. You will find some really good secret chests hidden inside the mansion, but the mobs won’t let you get them that easily. To the west of Spawn, a large lake hides several buried treasure chests. I recommend traveling this way first so you can use the materials from the chests to take on the Woodland Mansion’s monsters.

Ice Spiked village

• Seed: 7751162368028100198
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Ice Spikes, Snowy Plains

I spawned in the center of a large Ice Spikes patch in this seed. To my surprise, there was a tiny village on the outskirts of the biome. Although there isn’t much loot in the village itself, there are not one but two igloos with basements nearby. These two should provide you with enough gold to buy any tools and gear you need.

Jungle Temple guardians

• Seed: 8108794125419846437
• Version: Java
• Spawn: -68, -132
• Biomes: Jungle, Plains

What if you found a village with a Jungle Temple integrated into its architecture? Well, here’s your chance to discover such a village at the start of a Minecraft world. The huts stand so close to each other that they merge with the temple. This combined structure can function as a base after getting rid of all the mobs inside.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: 208, 4
• Biomes: Mushroom Island, Plains

There’s no safer place in Minecraft than a Mushroom Island. If you spawn here, you’ll get a village and a nice patch of mushrooms that will protect you from all hostile mobs. When you find yourself ready for a challenge, travel a few hundred blocks to a Pillager Outpost. If you don’t feel prepared to take on the Pillagers, visit a buried treasure chest to gather materials to craft weapons.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: 36, -36
• Biomes: Plains, Forest

This seed begins in a village that has generated next to a Woodland Mansion. Since there are no other structures in a thousand-block radius of Spawn, it’s the perfect opportunity to test your survival skills using only the tools and materials available from the start of the world. If you tire of living next to tons of Illagers and other hostile mobs, travel to the closest Taiga Village and retire from fighting.

Village on top of a Shattered Savanna

• Seed: 2834512694584724836
• Version: Java
• Spawn: 0, 0
• Biomes: Shattered Savanna, Desert

Hot and dry biomes, such as Savannas and Deserts, have plenty of helpful uses despite not being the best for farming due to lack of water. In this seed, you’ll spawn in an acacia village that stands on top of a Shattered Savanna biome with some nice waterfalls. On this hill, you can mine materials like stone, coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, and copper.

• Spawn: -132, 192
• Biomes: Plains, Jungle

What if one of the huts in a village was actually a Jungle Temple full of loot? This seed makes this idea come to life in the small village closest to Spawn. After visiting this village, I urge you to explore the northern part of the Jungle as you’ll find three more Jungle Temples.

Spawn is set on a large Mushroom Island with a very unusual Plains Village. The village is generated on a tiny piece of plains biome, something you rarely see in newer Minecraft seeds. This island is surrounded by icebergs, shipwrecks, and even an underwater ruined portal. Also, be careful at Spawn as an exposed ocean ruin next to the village is causing a few Drowned enemies to appear.

There are several exciting points of interest in this survival Minecraft world. First, you will see a shipwreck stuck on an iceberg in the middle of a lake.

• Biomes: Savanna, Roofed Forest

This world begins in a small Plains Village east of a Shattered Savanna biome. Walk west over the Shattered Savanna’s hills to come across a second village and a Woodland Mansion. The Mansion is on the smaller size, but it comes with a ruined Nether Portal to make up for the missing rooms. Its chest has a golden pickaxe enchanted with Fortune III that allows you to gather extra diamonds at the start of your game.

• Biomes: Taiga, Plains, Ice Spikes

Begin your adventure between two villages in this seed. The first is surrounded by trees in a Taiga biome while the second resides in an Ice Spikes biome. A ravine between the two goes deep enough underground to reach two intertwining ravines. This phenomenon creates a large, multi-directional cave system for you to explore.

After spawning in the village that stands in the ravine, travel southwest to reach a ruined portal on the hills. This portal will send you straight into a Nether Fortress beneath its Blaze spawner. The portal location makes this seed very lucky by allowing you to farm blaze rods for brewing potions later in your journey.

You will spawn in a valley between two Taiga Villages in this seed. However, the most exciting village is found over a thousand blocks away.
