Villages are a cornerstone of the best seeds for Minecraft, providing you with a haven to start your adventure with abundant resources. Whether you open chests from Blacksmiths or gain items through trade with local Villagers, there are many benefits to creating worlds with large civilizations. There are also massive Iron Golems that can protect you from hostile mobs as you build a base in these areas.

The vast landscapes of your sandbox world can be determined from a pre-set seed, a random string of numbers that can create a world another player has already discovered. Those looking for a specific biome, like the best seeds for Islands in Minecraft, could use a known seed to guarantee a world with that exact scenery. Many seeds can only be used in the Bedrock or Java version of Minecraft.

13 The Coastal Village (Bedrock)

Seed No. -6976859396698713500

This seed creates a beautiful beachfront village close to the ocean at coordinates (-318, 81, 168), making it an excellent base for those looking to gain a foothold in Survival Mode. Some of the best crops in Minecraft can be found in this settlement, with farmers tending to premade fields of wheat and other important foods.

It would be hard to go hungry in this Village, especially considering how much fish you can catch along the shore.

Many homes here act as great starting designs for your own base, which may work best near the docks where you can moor one or two boats. Near this Village are several interesting structures, including a Ruined Portal that you could repair. Large mountains in the distance lead to cave systems for even more resources than you could obtain from the Village buildings in Minecraft.

12 The Lagoon Village (Bedrock)

Seed No. -2367667723377945166

A large lagoon hosts several Villages within this world seed at coordinates (565, 67, -927). These villages are full of the best Villagers to trade with in Minecraft as you gain valuable materials for your adventure. From Clerics to Librarians to even Blacksmiths, this community is unique for having many vendors in a minuscule space. The size of this Village makes it difficult to reach, but it is a perfect place to avoid hostile mobs like Creepers or Skeletons.

This seed has a small piece of land just behind the lagoon Village that could be a perfect vantage point for a base after you finish trading with many of the local Villagers.

11 The Plains Village (Bedrock)

Seed No. 6285574721787818473

A pristine river courses alongside a hilltop Village found in a Plains biome (238, 65, 89) within this seed, giving you a classic place to build a home. Those familiar with older versions of Minecraft will spot nostalgic locations like Forest, Hill, and Mountain biomes all scattered nearby, just begging to be explored. The extra space provided by the spacious grasslands makes it easy to start ambitious crafting projects.

10 The Cherry Blossom Villages (Bedrock)

Seed No. 9064150133272194

First found by Minecraft's 1.20 update. A small lake separates these two settlements in the same valley, but both are easily combined with a small bridge.

Librarian and Blacksmith Villagers pair with humble Fishermen to trade with as you take in the lovely view of the waterfalls and grasslands here.

Those looking to create their own Adventure Map will have difficulty picking a better spot than this Village since the oasis is an excellent starting point for new adventurers. The new Bee mobs present in the Cherry Blossoms also help introduce new resources from the 1.20 update, letting you create unique Block types and unique items in Minecraft.

9 The Woodland Mansion Village (Bedrock)

Seed No. -6709148406763899126

Seeds that contain rare structures are incredibly popular in Minecraft, with this specific world generating a vast, dungeon-like building called a Woodland Mansion (138, 157, 54). This seed, discovered by Reddit u/KamiKazeFritz places you in a village surrounded by snowy mountains, right next to the Mansion itself.

Most of the time, these structures are located extremely far away in dense biomes, so this is a lucky find.

Inside the Mansion, you will have to fight through dozens of hostile Minecraft as you collect a ridiculous amount of loot from various chests hidden in the building. Adventure Mode maps could thrive from this seed, with the Woodland Mansion as the perfect setting for a spooky or mysterious world. Use the resources from the main Village to prepare for expeditions into the Mansion during your Minecraft journey.

8 The Badlands Village (Bedrock)

Seed No. -3122719057099512664

This seed is considered to be one of Minecraft & Chill's top 25 Minecraft village seeds. It contains a Badland settlement, unusually found right at the spawn point. As soon as you load into the Badlands valley, you'll find yourself in a desert village coning the biome.

Overlooking the village, you will see a menacing Pillager Outpost from which the villagers will require protection. While having a Pillager Outpost so close to a village may seem like a lot to constantly handle, this has multiple benefits that make it a worthwhile setup.

Saving the village from frequent raids will reward you with the 'Hero of the Village' omen, which provides discounts when trading with villagers and lots of gifts. You could even create a raid farm to consistently receive this omen, among other useful items dropped by Pillagers in Minecraft.

Ascending the cliff face where the village is situated is a beautiful Warm Ocean sinkhole surrounded by exposed caves just behind the Pillager Outpost. By descending to the water source, you will find hidden treasure within a Desert Temple, nestled into the cave atop a waterfall that streams down into the cave depths.

7 The Savannah Village (Java)

Seed No. 6032206099749663371

A slightly chaotic seed, this world creates a Village that once again sits close to the ocean (344, 96, -764). However, this time, the village is composed of a less organized community that is very different from a traditional settlement.

You can bring some order to this place by uniting buildings and creating your own structures to make this town 'complete.' Just off the coastline, there are three shipwrecks with materials to help you start this ongoing endeavor in Minecraft.

This seed also contains a small Ravine biome on the island where the Village is, giving you a good source of raw materials like Coal or Iron Ore in Minecraft.

6 The Floating Village (Java)

Seed No. 44954149752793085

Seeds containing Island Villages are nothing new, but a world where a civilization makes up an entire landmass is one in a million. First discovered by Reddit u/Beefy_Nad, this peaceful hamlet sits in the middle of the ocean (47, 84, 27), making it the ideal place to defend yourself from hostile mobs in Minecraft. As you settle, a nearby Ocean Monument structure and shipwreck will provide plenty of treasure.

You could also create new Villager types in Minecraft here to compensate for the lack of different trade types in this area. This process involves identifying which kind of Villagers can take on a new profession and then determining their role. Some of the best items in the game are tied to Villager trading, so be careful about which jobs you assign to the locals in this seed.

5 The Lake Villages (Java)

Seed No. 712262452098460

Reddit u/IPNinja discovered this Village seed has a town right next to a deep lake with another community nestled on a small isle in the middle of the water (-1063, 99, 1034). Farmers, Clerics, Leatherworkers, and Masons live in these places.

These villagers offer their wares in exchange for Emeralds in Minecraft to ambitious travelers needing various items and resources. The potential to create a small city by combining both Villages will scratch those with an itch for urban planning in this Minecraft world.

4 The Mangrove Swamp Village (Java)

Seed No. 18692533

This seed, found by Reddit u/archeradicator, puts a Village on a small Island with a Desert and Mangrove Swamp biome (48, 95, 57), the second of which is a rare location in a Minecraft world. The desert village's towering sandstone structures are different from most communities, giving you a sense of height that other Villages rarely offer.

The Mangrove Swamp in Minecraft is small but incredibly interesting. It gives you unique block types to use for construction. Mangrove Propagules are rare items that you can only find in this specific type of biome. The warm reefs along the ocean are also teeming with tropical fish and other aquatic mobs to catch and cook for food.
