10 Best Minecraft Mountain Seeds for Bedrock and Java
These ten seeds will leave both Bedrock and Java players reaching maximum build height in no time.
10 - Mountainous Plains
Seed: 4100221553038534378
Players have to cross a great Plain to uncover these mountains, but the destination is well worth the travel time. The mountain in the center is tall and stony, while the mountain on the right contains a beautiful crater with Forest and Cherry Grove biomes. The area itself contains many caverns, including one large cavern that will get you to Deepslate levels quickly. It's a great seed if you love mountains but also want some biodiversity in their area.

9 - Mansion Overlook
Seed: 7176575480747353993
For Bedrock players, this gorgeous Stony Mountain overlooks a Woodland Mansion rising from the river beneath it. Trail Ruins are nearby for Java players instead of a Woodland Mansion. The mountain is surrounded by a Dark Oak Forest, with a Stony Shore available across the river. This makes it easy to quickly gather some Coal and Iron.

8 - Steep Mountain Range
Seed: 2163881161981981921
This seed is full of gigantic mountains from the start. They range from Stony Peaks to Frozen Peaks, with multiple jutting up to maximum build height. Alongside the mountains come plenty of sheer cliffs, waterfalls, and a giant natural dam bordering the nearby ocean. There are also several large caverns to be explored, and one of the mountains have a cave going directly down toward Deepslate.

7 - Secret Savannah and Hidden Grove
Seed: 4765588597460703481
You spawn in a valley between two large mountains. For Java players, the valley will already be inhabited—Bedrock players will find it empty. The Stony Peaks mountain to the north has a giant crater filled with a Savannah biome and an underlying Ancient City. The Stony Peaks mountain in the south is smaller and contains only a Forest biome. Either would make a great home base, but they would look especially amazing with a bridge connecting the two of them.

This is one of the luckier seeds on the list, spawning you in the middle of a Plains Village with a blacksmith! The Snowy Slope and Jagged Peak mountains can be found to the east. When looked at on a map, the Snowy Slope biomes of the mountains appear to form the head of a legendary beast like a dragon, hence the name Dragon's Peak! The geography would make a beautiful map to hang up in your base.
