The Best Minecraft Seeds

Minecraft is an amazing game, capable of many interesting worlds. The random seed determines how your worlds are generated and by using tried and tested seeds can help you achieve the kind of experience you're looking for.

Different seeds can provide vastly different experiences ranging from hill size, water coverage, npc villages, abandoned mineshafts, strongholds, ore placement, lava, and other game play elements like dungeons. Explore the seeds below and do not hesitate to vote for your favorites.

What Is A Seed?

A seed is a number or phrase used by the world generation algorithm to generate terrain, dungeons, water placement, mountain height, and other features. By using the same seed you can use the same world using different computers.

How Do I Find A Seed?

If you don't enter a seed Minecraft will generate one for you at random, and later you might regret not knowing the seed. If you press F3 Minecraft will tell you the seed.

Previous versions require the steps below:

[Thankfully there is a tool available that can read your "level.dat" file and extract the seed for you.

You can extract your seed here: Minecraft Level Tools or if you used windows get MineSeeder]
Important!

Where do you find the "level.dat" file?

Windows:
Search for %appdata%/.minecraft/saves

Mac:
You can find the saves in /Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves/
