Top 20 Best 1.20.2 Seeds for Minecraft

Good Minecraft seeds are few and far between, and I consider finding proper seeds to be an art form. Spending countless hours scouring the internet searching for perfect, rare, and quality seeds with a bunch of content, rare biome combinations, or strange anomalies is hard, but I've done the work and developed a list of the top 20 1.20.2 seeds for you below.

20 - Neighboring Villages

Seed: 1212145820118193219

While these villages are only a short distance away, they are separated by the geography between them. A base can be made next to either, but it may be more profitable to connect them. Bedrock players will be able to find a Taiga Village as well as a few ruined portals, while Java players will have to travel toward the ocean for more structures.

19 - Forested Badlands

Seed: 2478166049444056686

These Wooded Badlands have the beautiful visuals of regular Badlands combined with the functionality of a Forest. As a bonus, there is a Desert Village filled with goodies right next to them. When you've had your fun wandering the Desert and have gathered enough supplies, you can head beneath the surface to take on an Ancient City.

18 - Hidden Cherry Village

Seed: 3634221548333338194

This Plains Village is surrounded by Cherry Grove hills, preventing anyone on the outside from seeing it. You can turn it into a bustling town, loot its valuables, or spend time there to train up and get ready to take on the world. Java players will be able to find a second village outside of the hills, and players of both versions will find an Ancient City a few hundred blocks away.

17 - Mushroom Sea

Seed: -4137122126623625695

Finding Mushroom Islands has never been easier than with this seed! Heading east from Spawn leads you into a giant Cold Ocean filled with Cold Ruins, Ocean Monuments, and, of course, Mushroom Islands. There are four large ones as well as several smaller islands to explore. If you need time to prepare before facing the seas, there are villages, igloos, and ruins on land to help you gear up.

16 - Multi-City Badlands

Seed: -8160840050472299232

With so many Ancient Cities and Badlands as far as the eye can see, this seed is definitely a must-play. Both Java and Bedrock players will find a series of three Ancient Cities next to each other. However, only Java players will get two Ancient Cities that connect directly. With two times the treasure available in one place, the danger is well worth the risk.

15 - Snowy Meadow Village

Seed: 117543321078366150

You spawn on the side of a small mountain covered in snow. Crossing it will lead you to a bustling Plains Village. Half of the village remains covered in snow while the other half basks in the sun. It's the perfect place to enjoy a steady, relaxing life. For some extra excitement, there are a few caves nearby to explore, from a Dripstone Cave ravine to a giant underwater cavern.

14 - Swampy Desert

Seed: -385335370564828793

If you love gorgeous geography, you'll adore the combination of Windswept Savannah hills, Desert terrain, and the split Mangrove Swamp in this seed. A giant cave can be found to the north filled with ores to get your journey started. Players of either version of Minecraft will be able to find a nearby Desert Temple, Desert Village, and a Pillager Outpost.

13 - River Valley Island

Seed: -6260761228952867864

This seed is an absolute dream for players who want to create a castle or bridge-filled build. Spawn is set within a Plains Valley surrounded by Cherry Grove hills. The valley contains one large island in the center surrounded by a connecting river, giving off the impression of a castle surrounded by a moat. Java players will find a lone Plains Village overlooking them from one of the hills.

12 - Beautiful Mountain Dome

Seed: 1063292310985219505

This seed spawns you right on the edge of a giant crater surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Right at the bottom, a beautiful Cherry Grove lies on one side while a beautiful green pasture covers the other side. Embedded into the crater edge lies a small igloo, a ruined portal with a gateway to another dimension, and a village that you can help expand. Adventures lie at every corner, and I think this seed has plenty of content to offer, bringing you hours of fun.

11 - Snowy Mansion Getaway

Seed: 2541367698408091918

Finding a Woodland Mansion in a snowy environment was a challenge, but I managed to discover this gem! The Mansion settles nicely into the nearby snowy environment, providing a feeling of coziness you really can't get anywhere else. Enjoy this idyllic landscape alone or with friends, exploring the wilderness outside while taking the opportunity to return to your cozy base for a minute.

10 - Overgrown Village

Seed: -8760842477994929977

This strange seed puts you in the middle of a giant Mangrove Swamp close to a Savannah Village completely overgrown with mangrove flora. It's incredible how villagers still go about their daily chores without a worry in the world despite the sprawling Amazonian forest that looks like it's about to swallow them at any second.

9 - Epic Badlands Spawn

Seed: 332003967

This seed spawns you right on the edge of a vast Badlands biome. If you're a fan of building in warmer climates, head on over to the coordinates I provided below to see an excellent plateau half-surrounded by a mountain chain. There are multiple locations ideal for various kinds of activities. Still, my next favorite is a small blue lake contrasted by the surrounding terracotta mountain chain at the second set of coordinates. Be sure to pay them all a visit.

8 - Quadruple-Structure Combination

Seed: 5092820108002433452

This seed spawns four rare structures right next to each other right next to your spawn location. You will have a Desert Village populated with villager NPCs and a ruined portal right next to it. On the other side, you will see Trail Ruins, which are ripe for exploration. At the very center of it all lies a Jungle Temple. Possibilities are endless here, so it definitely earns my recommendation.

7 - The Biggest Cave in Minecraft

Seed: 6118459231602779665

This seed spawns you high on top of a mountain chain, but the real gem lies deep underground. This cave system is one of the most expansive I've ever encountered in the game, with many connection caves leading you to Lush Caves, mineshafts, large overgrown chambers, and even a few Ancient Cities, if you look hard enough.

6 - Double Shipwreck Village

Seed: 5905590242893

This seed will offer you plenty of content if you don't feel like building bases yourself. After traveling across the ocean, you will discover a Plains Village with not one but two shipwrecks in its port. Finding one wreck near a populated area is rare enough, but having two makes this seed really special indeed. You can upgrade the village, create a merchant port, and perhaps build a customs office somewhere nearby. In practically no time at all, I was handling all shipping distribution centers with my friends, who then proceeded to kick me out of the server for setting the import taxes too high.

Seed: -8165641993963743610

If you're looking for an Indiana Jones-type adventure, this long, winding river offers plenty of excitement. If you travel to the second set of coordinates, you will reach one of the river's ends, where you will see it flow into a large underground cave. Beautiful bamboo waterfalls lead to a large exposed cave where your underground survival adventure can begin.

4 - Magical Lush Cave

Seed: -6139869176412870354

During my ventures around this seed, I found a magical, lush underworld with many unique natural structures. All underground explorers will have a blast with this one, as it offers plenty of unique subterranean features all in one place. An enormous multi-tiered cavern has sprawling vegetation all around, while waterfalls and lava flow down the naturally-formed terraces. There are even two Ancient Cities a few levels below.

Welcome to the most peaceful, idyllic, and most beautiful village in Minecraft! If you travel to the coordinates I wrote for you below, you will discover a cozy, peaceful plains village surrounded by a ring of still water, sitting at the bottom of a crater. The mountain chain surrounding the village even has a cherry grove, making this one of the most beautiful sceneries I've ever seen in this game so far.

Seed: 4845139847033877462

This seed is not only an incredibly rare find but is perfect for the adventurists. You will spawn right on the edge of a lake with a giant hole in the center of it. At the bottom of the hole lies a pit of lava and a gaping cave ripe for exploration. There's even a fishing village right at the edge of the lake, together with a Pillager Outpost and a ruined portal to top it all off.

The last seed on the list features a beautiful snow-capped mountain dome surrounded by Jagged Peaks. The Meadow is perfectly flat and perfect for hosting any of your building ideas.
