Minecraft’s world generation is simple, but key to helping the game stay fresh. Many players hunt down new seeds to attempt to help them realize a specific goal, while others simply enjoy the exploration aspect of Minecraft. Since world seeds are a random string of numbers, however, it can be time-consuming to find a good one.
Minecraft: 5 Ancient City Seeds
Ancient Cities are terrifying locations in Minecraft’s Deep Dark, but players can find a lot of loot in these areas.
While you may type random numbers into programs likeSeed Map, you can also take advice from other players who have come before. Read on for some of the best world seeds to try in version Minecraft 1.20, as well as the fabled Herobrine World Seed discovered in 2021.
10Secluded Valley (Seed = 460628901)
This secluded village in the mountains shares a lot of similarities with the Alpine villages of Switzerland. If you too would like to be tucked into a mountain valley surrounded by snow, then seed 460628901 is a great one to try. Not only will you have access to snow, villagers, and farmland all right outside your front door, but the new Cherry Grove Biome and three Ancient Cities are just over the mountain.

9Hollow Mountain (Seed = 8486672581758651406)
This next seed is perfect for fans of spelunking. When seed 8486672581758651406 finishes generating, players will spawn inside a Dark Forest. Then, there will be a mountain to the south that is almost entirely hollow. Inside you’ll find a ton of mineshafts, caves, and a Woodland Mansion.
Additionally, there are two villages within easy walking distance and several shipwrecks off the coast to the north. If you’re looking to explore the new biome from the Trails and Tales update, head west past the villages for about 1100 blocks to findthe Cherry Grove Biome.
8Skylight Cave (Seed = 199)
Looking like an Instagram influencer’s vacation picture, seed 199 contains aLush Caveopen to the air. This Skylight Cave is nestled in a Dark Forest for blocks around, allowing players ample resources to build the base of their dreams.
To reach this vista, players will need to hike out to x=-5900, y=100, z=-5100, but should have everything they need once they arrive. In the vicinity, there are many shipwrecks, archeological sites, and a village to explore, as well as the typical mineshafts, caves, and spawners down below.
7Cherry Blossom Lake (Seed = -6182176112093490089)
Many players have been looking for a cool Cherry Blossom seed since the introduction of the new biome in the Trails and Tales update. This, however, is undoubtedly one of the best for both Bedrock and Java. You’ll be able to hide away an idyllic little base on the lakefront, and when you’re ready, head out in a boat to explore the several nearby shipwrecks and ocean monuments for treasure.
Minecraft: All Trails & Tales Armor Trims
If you’re trying to collect all the armor trims in Minecraft, this list can help you identify them all.
Unfortunately, reaching this location isn’t a simple task. Once you’ve generated a world with the seed -6182176112093490089, you’ll need to trek out to coordinates x=12037, y=109, z=1383.
6Twin Islands (Seed = 7850875)
For those who aren’t fussed about land space, this seed is certainly interesting. When the world is generated with seed 7850875, players will spawn on top of a Jungle Island. Across a narrow channel, there is another island of Wooded Badlands.
Hidden inside the islands' many ravines are spawners galore, and there are several ocean monuments and a shipwreck down below. However, you’ll need to navigate the cliffs and surrounding ocean to reach any other structures, such as the village 900 blocks to the west.
5The Dark Tower (Seed = 3477968804511828743)
Seed 3477968804511828743 initially looks very typical. You’ll spawn into a birch forest with no structures in sight. However, walking about 200 blocks southeast will bring you to this dark tower, perched on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The tower in the picture is actually a Woodland Mansion which has generated high off the ground, then filled in the space underneath with cobblestone blocks.
While this structure doesn’t contain loot all the way up (only the uppermost floors) it is a great canvas for the builder inside us all. Whether this is your evil villain era or you’re simply building an adventure map, none can contest that this seed is cool.
4Jungle Cove (Seed = 2825049098349321056)
Have you ever wanted to be a pirate, or a castaway wrecked on a Tropical Island? If so, world seed 2825049098349321056 is for you. It features two neat little coves built into the same jungle biome. One is directly north of spawn while the other is to the south east.

3The Lord & His Peasants (Seed = 5705783928676095273)

2Secret Tunnel (Seed = 107038380838084)
Glitched Minecraft seeds don’t work as intended, however, that doesn’t mean they aren’t still fun to play. The Secret Tunnel seed is a popular pick for multiplayer servers due to its never-ending mineshaft at z=6. This Mineshaft can be used as a ready-made transportation hub, especially since the spawn point is directly over the mineshaft.
To generate a secret tunnel in your game, use seed 107038380838084. This seed has been present in a variety of editions but was tested for this article on version Java 1.20
1Herobrine Seed (Seed = 478868574082066804)
No Minecraft world seed list would be complete without the Herobrine seed. Discovered in 2021, this is the world seed used to create the notorious creepypasta Herobrine. Now a key part of Minecraft folklore, while Herobrine himself isn’t really walking around in this world, the misty forests sure are a great, spooky time.
Unlike the other seeds on this list, using the Herobrine seed requires an older version of Minecraft. You’ll find the image above only if you load seed 478868574082066804 on Java Alpha 1.0.16_02, then go to alpha coordinates X=5.06 Y=71 (72.62 eye pos) Z=-298.54.
