Seed: -8049776397178681697

Mushroom island and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: -196 Z: 248
  • Biomes: Mushroom Island, Savanna

Spawn on a survival island near an ocean monument at coordinates X: -232 Z: 376. If you decide to reach the mainland, you’ll be surprised by the very rare mushroom biome with an acacia village at coordinates X: 24 Z: 8. There’s only one more village in the vicinity at coordinates X: 808 Z: -488, and then nothing else for many thousands of blocks, so take good care of them.

Seed: 7982634199012855771

Woodland mansion and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: 128 Z: 32
  • Biomes: Plains, Forest

There’s a cozy little vilage at spawn and a small two-storey woodland mansion. You can still 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, there’s a large lake, and I was lucky enough to find several buried treasure chests there at coordinates X: -519 Z: 73, X: -567 Z: -471, and X: -711 Z: 889.

Seed: 7751162368028100198

Ice spikes and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
  • Biomes: Ice Spikes, Snowy Plains

I spawned in the center of a large ice spikes patch and, to my surprise, discovered a tiny village on the outskirts. Although there isn’t much loot in the village itself, I discovered not one but two igloos with a basement nearby at coordinates X: 344 Z: 296 and X: 312 Z: -408. These two should provide you with enough gold to buy any tools and gear you need.

Seed: -4289299977789146287

Shattered savanna and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: -108 Z: -240
  • Biomes: Shattered Savanna

As soon as you spawn, go to coordinates X: 104 Z: 88, where you’ll find a nice acacia village on some extreme shattered savanna plateau. Some of the huts are located on the top platforms, so prepare for some climbing. But it’s definitely worth it, as it’s probably the safest place in the game. If you cross the jungle to the east, then you’ll be able to raid a temple at coordinates X: 376 Z: -136.

Seed: 8108794125419846437

Jungle temple and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: -68 Z: -132
  • Biomes: Jungle, Plains

What if you found a village that had a jungle temple integrated into its architecture? Well, here’s your chance to discover such a village at coordinates X: 104 Z: 56. Actually, the huts stand so close to each other that they start to merge with the temple, which may function as a sort of base after getting rid of all the mobs inside.

Seed: 4778515467969755658

Mushroom island and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: 208 Z: 4
  • Biomes: Mushroom Island, Plains

There’s no safer place in Minecraft than the 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. But if you find yourself ready for some challenge, then be sure to reach a pillager outpost at coordinates X: 584 Z: 248. But before doing that, take some time and dig up a buried treasure chest at coordinates X: 441 Z: -199.

Seed: -5332952418924194858

Woodland mansion and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: 36 Z: -36
  • Biomes: Plains, Forest

I spawned in a village that stands right next to a small woodland mansion. Taking into consideration that there are no structures for under a thousand blocks around, this is a great opportunity to actually raid the mansion with all the tools you have. If you do get tired of living next to illagers and other hostile mobs of the mansion, then travel to coordinates X: -1,016 Z: 8 for a sweet taiga village.

Seed: 1262515668500717934

Ice spikes and village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: -256 Z: -216
  • Biomes: Taiga, Ice Spikes

Packed ice is one of the rarest and most visually pleasing types of blocks in Minecraft. Here, you can find plenty of it near a village at coordinates X: 8 Z: 56. Although the environment is freezing and not very well suited for survival, you can always go in and out of the taiga forest for resources and warmth.

Seed: 2834512694584724836

Shattered savanna and village in Minecraft

  • Spawn: X: 0 Z: 0
  • Biomes: Shattered Savanna, Desert

Hot and dry biomes, such as savanna and desert, can actually be very well used for other purposes except farming. In this seed, you’ll spawn in an acacia village that stands on top of the shattered hills with some nice waterfalls. At this same spot, you can mine such materials as stone, coal ore, iron ore, gold ore, diamond ore, redstone ore, and copper ore.

Seed: 8876033227843653670

Jungle temple and village in Minecraft
Screenshot by GameSkinny
  • Spawn: X: -132 Z: 192
  • Biomes: Plains, Jungle

What if one of the huts in the village was actually a jungle temple full of loot? Well, here’s your chance, as I spawned right next to such a village at coordinates X: 88 Z: 88. I also urge you to explore the jungle to the north even further, as you’ll be able to find three more jungle temples at coordinates X: 40 Z: -296, X: -152 Z: -360, and X: -696 Z: 72.

After spawning in the village that stands in the ravine, travel to coordinates -450, 100 for a ruined portal on the hills. This portal will send you straight into the nether fortress and right under the blaze spawner. This makes it a very rare and lucky spawner for farming blaze rods that can be later used for brewing potions.
