  • Village: 288, 896
  • Village with Trial Chamber: 400, -880
  • Desert Temple: 1096, 280

To the west, you will find a large swamp with six witch huts, perfect for setting up Minecraft witch farms. This swamp also contains a village in a small taiga, which is ideal for quickly setting up a swamp village for access to the mending enchantment.


7) Swamp Villages with Trial Chambers (Seed: -2284362418325926051)

  • Swamp Village with Trial Chamber: -368, 800

There is a jungle temple right next to spawn, with a desert temple across a small ocean to the north.


8) Savanna Civilization (Seed: -662835649278923167)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Village: 80, 64
  • Village: 80, -368
  • Village: -240, -160
  • Village: -240, 272
  • Pillager Outpost: 160, -192
  • Ruined Portal: 120, 24
  • Trial Chamber: 183, 23
  • Trial Chamber: 105, -377
  • Trial Chamber: -505, -471

You’ll spawn in this Minecraft 1.21 seed in an expansive savanna biome complete with multiple villages to visit as well as a pillager outpost to conquer (or convert into a pillager farm).

Most of the trial chambers near the spawn point can be found almost directly beneath the villages. So seeking out a cartographer villager for a trial chamber explorer map likely won’t be necessary until you move farther away from the immediate spawn area.


9) Easy Swamp Villagers (Seed: -41476633031793934)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Witch Hut: 40, 56
  • Village: 208, -192
  • Trial Chamber: 201, -297
  • Trial Chamber: 71, 249
  • Ruined Portal: 392, -360
  • Ocean Monument: 232, 232
  • Shipwreck: 184, 280

Swamp villagers are the sole villager type that doesn’t ordinarily spawn during Minecraft world generation, but you can make plenty of swamp villagers, thanks to the village close to this seed’s spawn point.

The village they reside in is incredibly close to a swamp, so expanding it or relocating the villagers to breed them in the swamp should be a fairly easy proposition. This 1.21 seed for Minecraft should be particularly helpful for those using the experimental villager trade rebalance changes.


10) Depths of the Desert Lake (Seed: 8549297683837371269)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Shipwreck: 56, 24
  • Trial Chamber: 217, -9
  • Trial Chamber: 345, -217
  • Ruined Portal: 120, 24
  • Village: -192, -208
  • Village: 128, -288
  • Desert Pyramid: -296, -248
  • Desert Pyramid: 616, -152
  • Desert Well: -249, -160
  • Desert Well: 523, -146

Deserts aren’t always the best starting biomes in Minecraft, but this 1.21 seed’s starting desert has plenty to offer. Submerging into the lake closest to the spawn is a great way to collect coral but also find shipwreck plunder, trial chamber loot, and even an aquatic ruined Nether portal.

The villages on the outreaches of the lake should also present opportunities for you to trade or build a full-fledged trading hall if you so choose.


11) Trials of the Swamp (Seed: -5208764720787814823)

  • Witch Hut: -152, -136
  • Ruined Portal: 56, 120
  • Trial Chamber: -279, -233
  • Trial Chamber: 7, -359

This best 1.21 seed doesn’t have a plethora of structures close to spawn, but it does offer you an excellent chance to Minecraft 1.21 bogged mob and collect their poison arrows.

In addition to starting in a swamp where the bogged spawn naturally, the two trial chambers in this seed aren’t too far away and contain trial spawners that can also spawn bogged on occasion. This seed could be a bit niche, but it’s great for swamp biome fans.


12) One Chaotic Village (Seed: 7086852002534687777)

  • Pillager Outpost: 216, 120
  • Igloo with Basement: 56, 168
  • Trial Chamber: 25, 233
  • Ruined Portal: 360, 344

Every so often, you happen upon a seed that creates a little chaos, though this can be as fun as it is challenging. This best Minecraft 1.21 seed is one such example, creating a situation where a tundra village is overshadowed by a nearby pillager outpost, and the pillagers inside likely won’t stay passive for long.

However, clearing out the outpost and expanding the village does offer the opportunity to create a nice survival base or an entire thriving settlement.


13) A Taiga of Treasure (Seed: 2372219906418965532)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Village: 120, 120

  • Igloo: 56, 168
  • Igloo with Basement: -280, 232
  • Trail Ruins: 153, 23

  • Ruined Portal: 40, 200
  • Trial Chambers: 153, 23
  • Trial Chambers: -231, 297
  • Trial Chambers: -393, -263
  • Abandoned Village: -392, -216

For a nice collection of different generated structures in Tricky Trials update, you can give this Minecraft 1.21 seed a look. Spawning in a snowy tundra, you won’t lack structures to explore and loot. There are combat challenges to be had in trial chambers and the abandoned village.

The villages, igloos, and trail ruins provide a relatively safe exploration experience as long as you’ve got a few light source blocks to prevent hostile mobs from spawning in the dark corners of the tundra.

  • Village: -312, -408
  • Village: -808, -312

  • Ruined Portal: -632, -392
  • Trial Chambers: -473, -265
  • Trial Chambers: -857, -327
  • Trial Chambers: -377, 169

If you love cherry groves, then you’ll find some great terrain in this seed. You can head to (-312, -408) to find a village nestled in a cherry grove with a nearby river cutting around a small island nearby.

This small island can be mined into to find trial chambers at (-473, -265), and there are many other structures to explore on the periphery of the cherry grove-straddled terrain not far from the spawn point.


15) Massive Mushroom Island (Seed: 4241307255164905481)

This seed’s massive mushroom island has a few Minecraft structures to check out (Image via Mojang)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Mushroom Island: 466, -219
  • Trial Chamber: 585, -329
  • Trial Chamber: 1161, 121
  • Trial Chamber: 1145, -423
  • Trial Chamber: 729, -743
  • Trial Chamber: 297, -345
  • Ruined Portal: 776, 104
  • Ruined Portal: 888, -376
  • Ruined Portal: 1544, 120
  • Shipwreck: 504, 104
  • Shipwreck: 312, -360

For a safe start, you can give this 1.21 seed a shot, thanks to the presence of a large mushroom island. After building a boat (and ideally, a few bowls to make mushroom stew), you can head east of the spawn point to find the massive mushroom island complete with all the mushrooms and mooshroom mobs needed to have plenty of food for the future.

Plus, the island won’t spawn any hostile mobs, allowing you to start your survival experience in a relatively safe environment.

Once you’re ready to take the dive into more dangerous adventures, there are more than a few trial chambers on the island to check out, and the ruined portals on the island offer Nether access when you’re ready to head into the fiery dimension.


16) Swampy Civilizations (Seed: 6421851593653617528)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Buried Treasure: -231, 41
  • Trial Chamber: 105, -23, 71
  • Trial Chamber: -375, -25, 23
  • Trial Chamber: -775, -26, -425
  • Witch Hut: -424, 8
  • Village: -464, 32
  • Village: -320, -144
  • Ruined Portal: -616, 8
  • Cold Ocean Ruin: -472, 72

Although Minecraft players will start in a plains biome in this seed, they can head west to find a huge swamp that reaches hundreds of blocks wide complete with multiple structures in and around it. This includes two villages, so players should have no trouble expanding the villages and breeding swamp villagers if need be. The trial chambers are also a plus for a little spelunking.


17) Quick Start with Mushroom Islands (Seed: 2411413949746187324)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Trial Chamber: 87, -27, 201
  • Village: 176, 320
  • Small Mushroom Island: -354, -70
  • Large Mushroom Island: -430, 207
  • Shipwreck: -280, 232
  • Ocean Monument: -264, 56

Players can essentially pick how difficult they’d like their starting position to be in this 1.21 Minecraft seed. This is because they’ll spawn near a trial chamber and a village but can easily craft a boat and head out to the outlying mushroom islands to avoid hostile mob spawns.

The sea between the spawn and the mushroom islands also holds plenty of structures to explore under the waves including shipwrecks, ocean monuments, and more.


18) Island of Lush Trials (Seed: 2083845073660293836)

  • Shipwreck: 232, -184
  • Ruined Portal: 280, 152
  • Cold Ocean Ruin: 504, 40
  • Ocean Monument: 616, 24

While this Minecraft seed might be too bleak for a survival island challenge since players start on a stony island, it’s what lies near and underneath the island that counts. In addition to several generated structures in the surrounding sea, players can head under the island and find a trial chamber that has glow berries, spore blossoms, and vines growing in it, courtesy of a nearby lush cave.


19) Instant Trials and Extra Chambers (Seed: 9000289781623873641)

  • Village: 896, -240
  • Ruined Portal: 296, 232
  • Ruined Portal: -296, -392
  • Shipwreck: -552, -488

If players are in a hurry to check out the trial chambers in Tricky Trials update, this may be the best Minecraft 1.21 seed to use. In addition to spawning with a trial chamber ostensibly under their feet, there are four additional trial chambers not too far away from the spawn biome. The villages, ruined nether portals, and shipwreck will also take some transit time, but players won’t lack for adventure.

  • Desert Well: -135, 70, 77
  • Ruined Portal: 168, 264
  • Ruined Portal: -488, 136

Warm desert and badlands biomes sometimes get a bad rep for being bland or unforgiving for players in Survival Mode, but this Minecraft seed 1.21 offers a large swathe of deserts and badlands that might prove otherwise. Several structures can be found a short distance from the spawn point, a lava pool rests directly next to players’ spawning positions, and there's plenty of water to be had too.


21) A Frigid Village Secret (Seed: -7665538383629323362)

  • Igloo w/ Basement: 264, 264
  • Trail Ruins: -509, 73, 259

Every so often, a village carries on its day-to-day routine while keeping a secret underneath its many homes and workstations. Such is the case in this Minecraft 1.21 seed, which sees an unassuming snowy village covering a trial chamber underneath.

Fortunately, the village makes for a nice staging location where players can collect resources and trade before taking on the chamber's various challenges.

While this Minecraft Bedrock 1.21 seed may not have a plethora of different structures, it does have a particularly nice spawn area. Players can find a village just a few steps away from their spawn point that’s flanked by cherry trees, and additional cherry groves can be found nearby as well.

A few structures rest close by the spawn, but this seed might be better suited for builders working with cherry wood.

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Village: 200, 88
  • Trail Ruins: 227, 63, 19
  • Trail Ruins: 398, 63, -146
  • Trail Ruins: 610, 66, -242
  • Trail Ruins: -221, 63, 339
  • Trial Chamber: 233, -15, -9

If fans love to tunnel underground and find plenty of goodies, this Bedrock 1.21 seed might suffice. Right from the beginning, players spawn in a densely forested taiga with a nearby village to visit. However, things get interesting once players start digging underground, as they can find several trail ruins to perform archeology in near the village.

A trial chamber also rests near the village for a more challenging excursion, but players can approach it at their own pace.


24) A Variety of Warm Biomes (Seed: 6305320812750540476)

  • Trial Chamber: -361, -22, -359
  • Trial Chamber: 583, -20, 631
  • Witch Hut: 792, 536

Sometimes Minecraft fans just need a little variety, and this is something that this Bedrock 1.21 seed accomplishes nicely. Players can find a plethora of warm climate biomes a short distance from their spawn point, and all of these biomes have varied structures to explore and loot. Players won’t have to venture far to find a little excitement and some quality items.


25) Blacksmiths and Breezes (Seed: 259097770644189520)

  • Trial Chamber: 825, -30, -393
  • Ruined Portal: 872, -312
  • Shipwreck: 888, -264
  • Shipwreck: 456, -104
  • Ocean Monument: 600, -232

For a quick start, this Minecraft 1.21 Bedrock seed might be worth a look. Players spawn next to a plains village complete with four blacksmith shops for quick access to quality items, which should help them accrue resources and craft necessities with ease. Once they’ve got their feet under them, they can begin to branch out to the other structures near the village and the coastline.


26) A Very Pleasant Start (Seed: 4172997236519720604)

  • Village: -184, 152
  • Village: -184, -264
  • Village: 184, -296
  • Abandoned Village: 152, 136
  • Ancient City: 56, -51, -264
  • Trial Chamber: 71, -19, 201
  • Pillager Outpost: 152, 248

This Minecraft Bedrock 1.21 seed may not be rife with Tricky Trials features (though there is a nearby trial chamber), but it should be an excellent starting spot for a Survival Mode run. You begin in a cherry grove biome surrounded by a mountain range that has three villages on its exterior — along with an abandoned village, pillager outpost, and trial chamber for a little combat if needed.


27) Below the Chambers (Seed: 136206529793979548)

  • Diamond Fossil: 8, -40
  • Diamond Fossil: -104, -40
  • Ruined Portal: 8, 8
  • Desert Well: -56, 69, 16

For an interesting challenge, this seed might be worth a try. Instead of beginning above a trial chamber as is the case with most best Minecraft 1.21 seeds, this world seed will task you with spawning in a cave and climbing upward to reach a trial chamber that is hidden in plain sight by the cave's stone blocks. Additionally, the surface has a nice desert/badlands/jungle split and additional structures.


28) The Island Cliffs (Seed: 8805100221462748353)

  • Cold Ocean Ruins: 392, -168
  • Cold Ocean Ruin Cluster: 424, 8
  • Ocean Monument: 136, 184

Although this Minecraft 1.21 seed has plenty of structures surrounding it, the main draw might very well be the island that you spawn on. Towering several dozen blocks in the air, the island has multiple wood types to take advantage of, large mushrooms for food, and a lush cave network deep in its core. If nothing else, this island should be excellent for island builds or a survival island challenge.


29) Secrets of the Jungle (Seed: -4446178731147653596)

This Minecraft seed has much more than it appears beneath its woodland mansion (Image via Mojang)

  • Trial Chamber: 41, -14, 9
  • Trial Chamber: -231, -15, 345
  • Ruined Portal: 168, 24

Spawning in a jungle in Minecraft 1.21 may not be the most exciting thing, but it's what's contained in this seed's spawn jungle that should prove to be exciting. Not only do you start by spawning directly next to a jungle temple and a woodland mansion, but there's even a trial chamber beneath the mansion that is begging to be explored.


30) Coral Cove (Seed: 2090070116)

This Minecraft seed features a lovely village facing a vast coral ocean (Image via Mojang)

  • Ancient City: 168, -51, -136
  • Trial Chamber: 233, -19, 103
  • Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster: 456, 88

While this Minecraft seed doesn't have a massive collection of structures near the spawn point, it does have some truly impressive vistas. Just a short walk from the spawn point, you can find a village resting underneath a cliff facing a coral reef, which could make for an excellent build or some screenshotting. Plus, the spawn badlands could be a nice place to make friends with some armadillos.


31) Spawn Spires (Seed: -5392584253717525840)

  • Village: -344, 664
  • Ruined Portal: -328, 40
  • Ruined Portal: 232, 328
  • Ruined Portal: -408, -408

This Minecraft seed starts you out within the valley of sizable mountain spires, and the mountain range is perfect for building a base or any mountainous build that you can imagine. However, if you would prefer to explore structures in lieu of building them, there are several spots to visit in the vicinity of the mountain range at spawn.


32) Builder's Lake (Seed: -2032795982907864146)

  • Ruined Portal: -280, 72
  • Ruined Portal: 72, -312
  • Village: 192, 48
  • Pillager Outpost: -240, 16

In this Minecraft seed, you'll start on a beautiful lake flanked by cherry groves on multiple sides, but there's much to explore in addition to having a prime collection of terrain to build on. From trial chambers to ruined nether portals and beyond, there's no shortage of structures within walking distance of the spawn area that should be filled with combat and riches.


33) Mushrooms and Mansions (Seed: 9031550520786301447)

  • Trial Chamber: 215, -24, 135
  • Mushroom Island: -678, -97
  • Mushroom Island: 113, -495
  • Mushroom Island: -635, -662

You'll begin this Minecraft seed right inside a village with a woodland mansion that is ready to be conquered directly next to it. The spawn island has plentiful large mushrooms and wood to harvest, allowing you to build up your power base before taking on the mansion. Additionally, three mushroom islands lay on the periphery of the spawn island, providing safe zones filled with food just in case.


34) Not-So Underwater Ruins (Seed: -7088602648975310568)

This Minecraft seed offers a set of ocean ruins above ground (Image via u/Madara77721/Reddit)

  • Trial Chamber: 329, -29, 9
  • Trial Chamber: 121, -15, -281
  • Trial Chamber: -279, -23, 217
  • Igloo w/ Basement: -264, 8
  • Village: -256, 288
  • Village: 96, -448

You'll start this seed in a relatively ordinary collection of terrain by Minecraft's standards, but there's a rare treat nearby in the form of an above-ground set of ocean ruins that can be easily plumbed via archeology or even be the beginnings of a new ancient-themed base. If you'd rather leave that area be for the time being, there are plenty of additional structures near the spawn worth checking out.


35) Wild Hills (Seed: 252712384478417957)

  • Trial Chamber: 295, -20, 169
  • Trial Chamber: 617, -21, 73
  • Ruined Portal: 264, 168
  • Warm Ocean Ruins: 648, 40

This Minecraft seed carries some pretty interesting hill generation and a village buried into the face of these hills, but they'll take some traveling to get to. In the meantime, the spawn area carries multiple trial chambers, a desert temple just a short walk from the spawn point, as well as many other structures that can whet your appetite for loot before heading to the cliffside village.


36) The Floating Village (Seed: -2032795982907864146)

  • Ruined Portal: 312, 216
  • Ruined Portal: 152, -248
  • Ruined Portal: -440, 88
  • Village: -280, 184

For a particularly lovely spawn area, this Minecraft seed might be worth a look. Just a few steps from the spawn point, you will find a floating village on a lake surrounded by cherry groves. In addition to the floating village, a second village lies on the outskirts of the cherry groves, along with easily accessible ruined nether portals to loot. Three trial chambers are also well within reach.

  • Ruined Portal: 104, 184
  • Village: -248, 248
  • Village: 104, -728
  • Pillager Outpost: 88, -824

For an immensely tough challenge, you can give this Minecraft seed a try. You'll begin the seed firmly buried in an ancient city, making for an incredibly dangerous trek to the surface. However, if you manage to get to the surface without drawing the ire of the Warden or the various hostile mobs underground, you can find more than a few structures to enjoy and a huge cherry grove biome to explore.


38) Skull Island (Seed: 1040934860)

  • Ocean Ruins: 120, 40
  • Shipwreck: 88, -328
  • Shipwreck: 88, 72
  • Trial Chamber: 169, -25, -375

Islands in Minecraft come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and this seed offers a spawn island filled with lush caves in its interior while also having the appearance of a skull when viewed from the north end. Sure, the skull might be a bit misshapen, but the island benefits from having a village atop it and multiple structures surrounding it that are worth exploring.


39) Extra Trial Chamber Surprises (Seed: 7287216608847503871)

  • Ruined Portal: 264, 312
  • Ocean Ruins: 360, 120
  • Ocean Ruins: -168, -248
  • Village: 544, 576

Every so often, a Minecraft seed creates a particularly interesting merging of structures, which is exactly what this seed accomplished within a trial chamber. Specifically, the trial chamber listed above has two dungeons generated adjacent to it that can be accessed from within the trial chamber itself. This chamber can take a while to get to, but the rewards might be worth the effort.

  • Ancient City: -280, -51, -632
  • Ancient City: -1080, -51, -664
  • Ancient City: -1448, -51, -632

If you love to explore ancient cities, this Minecraft seed is a remarkable option for finding them. In addition to spawning near multiple additional structures, the icy mountain ranges that you start in contain dozens of ancient cities in a singular biome. Many more structures lie beyond the spawn area, and while it takes a while to find them, this starting biome can be an explorer's dream.

  • Fossil: 86, -54, -39
  • Ruined Portal: 136, 56
  • Trial Chamber: 151, -15, 57

This seed will spawn you on a sizable desert island, but there's a little bit of an oasis of sorts in the form of a nearby jungle biome complete with an adjacent village. The proximity between the jungle and the village should make breeding jungle villagers easy, and there are more than a few structures to check out on the island as well before departing.


42) Hollow Mountain Island (Seed: -3621123077355566249)

  • Ocean Monument: 200, 200
  • Trial Chamber: 249, -27, 167
  • Cold Ocean Ruins: 136, 184

While this seed doesn't have a plethora of Minecraft structures at its spawn point, if you're willing to do a little traveling, the hollow mountain island that generates in this seed is a sight to behold. Complete with snowy mountain peaks, tons of room on the inside, and a lush cave biome within its depths, this island is begging to be built on by an established player.


43) One Odd Outpost (Seed: 11058400978812052)

  • Shipwreck: 232, 184
  • Ocean Ruin: 168, 136
  • Village: -344, 312

Like some other Minecraft seeds, this one doesn't blow you away with a plethora of structures right from the beginning. However, the closest pillager outpost in this seed is inexplicably seen floating on its own within an exposed cave, which also happens to have a ruined portal to the Nether in its depths. If the pillagers in this seed are trying to hide their home, they're not doing the best job.


44) Mushroom Mushroom Island (Seed: 22264208)

  • Ocean Ruin: 120, 456
  • Ocean Monument: 184, 264
  • Ruined Portal: -312, 24
  • Ruined Portal: 280, 200

Is a simple mushroom island not quite enough for your Minecraft seed? Want to take the mushroom theme to the maximum? Then give this seed a try, as it provides a mushroom island accessible from the spawn that is in the shape of a sizable mushroom (though it might have a little hole in its cap). There are plenty of structures to find on this island as well, so don't worry about that.

  • Shipwreck: -328, 152
  • Ruined Portal: -376, 200
  • Trial Chamber: -425, -16, 73

Sure, the selection of Minecraft structures near this seed's spawn isn't the best, but the spawn island makes for a very nice building area. It's sloped and relatively smooth, and there's cave access to the underside of the island if you'd like to go that route. The build you can create here is up to you, but there are plenty of options to consider both above and below ground.

  • Ruined Portal: 88, 360
  • Village: -328, 136

Just a few steps away from the spawn point of this Minecraft Bedrock seed, you can find a sizable cave mouth complete with a multi-layer cave that can be explored for what will feel like ages. Additionally, there are more than a few structures to explore outside of the cave, giving you options topside and on the underside of your spawn point.

  • Ocean Monument: -424, 152
  • Trial Chamber: 279, -24, 7

For a particularly visually appealing Minecraft seed, this option might be worth a look. Upon spawning in, you'll find a pair of beautiful mountain cliffs on an island, with a village partially built onto one cliff, while the other half is sandwiched between the two cliffs. This could make for an interesting build if you were to expand the village, but there are plenty of other build options as well.

  • Trial Chamber: -807, -29, -231

This seed may not be new to Minecraft 1.21, but it works incredibly well in it. Spawning in, you'll find yourself on a sizable island complete with multiple biomes including snowy peaks, groves, dark forests, stony peaks, and lush caves, among others. The island is large enough to accommodate several builds and is well-constructed for a survival island challenge either solo or in multiplayer.

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Village: Spawn
  • Village: 248, -360
  • Ruined Portal: 8, 56
  • Trial Chamber: 201, -11, 263
  • Trial Chamber: 7, -11, -311
  • Trial Chamber: -263, -30, 295

There are a few structures of note in this Minecraft seed, but none can compare to the village you spawn in. Right upon spawning, a few steps in nearly any direction will show that the village you're in is teetering over a massive cave system complete with waterfalls and lava pools. This is far from the best place to put a village, but the cave has riches for the taking for players who head below.


50) Not the Best Navigator (Seed: -1905400556220304079)

Coordinates to main locations:

  • Ice Spike Shipwreck: -520, 200
  • Lush Cave/Mineshaft: -350, -150
  • Trial Chamber: 73, -12, 41
  • Trial Chamber: -313, -25, 281
  • Village: -208, 272
  • Abandoned Village: 352, 0
  • Ruined Portal: 184, 264

It isn't every day that you find a shipwreck upside down and driven through an ice spike in a Minecraft seed, but that's exactly what this seed contains. However, the seed has plenty more to offer besides a very oddly-placed vessel, as you can find multiple helpful or challenging structures nearby on your way to find the shipwreck. Maybe this shipwreck could even be useful in a future build, crazier things happen.


What Are Minecraft 1.21 Seeds?

Minecraft has nearly an infinite number of possible worlds with boundaries that are impossible for a player to explore fully. The game's randomness allows players to discover new terrain generation with a variety of structures and mobs that add life. By default, Minecraft picks a random seed to generate a world, but you also have the option to enter your own seed when creating a new world.

Many players prefer using seeds with interesting biomes and useful structures near the spawn. This way, they won't have to search too far to find the best equipment and places to build their base.
