Best Minecraft Java 1.20 Pillager Outpost Seeds

For all of the Minecraft Java Edition stans, these Pillager Outpost seeds are just for you. The Pillager Outposts come with various biome and resource spawns. Establish riverside watchtowers, chill on snowy mountainsides, or take your builds in a more creative direction!

Frozen Border Watchtower

Seed: 7772812307945773335

This Pillager Outpost lies only a short trek from the wintry Spawn of this seed. If you want to make it to the warmer climates, you'll need to either sneak around or fight straight through the Illagers standing guard at the outpost. An Iron Golem and a few Allays can be seen in the cages surrounding the outpost, waiting to be freed. If you're not ready to brave the warmer area, a nearby Snowy Village can serve as a sanctuary.

Riverside Bandits

Seed: 1682557969323689066

This seed spawns you a couple dozen blocks away from a riverside Pillager Outpost. In the distance lies a quaint Plains Village, which relies on the rivers separating them from the outpost for protection. The village is focused on animal raising, as it is filled with hay blocks and contains its own horse barn. Traveling a little farther out from the village will lead you to a steep ravine dropping toward deepslate.

Pirates Across the Sea

Seed: 4121161647782555190

This seed spawns you near a large Cold Ocean. A Frozen Ocean juts in the middle of it, acting as a barrier between the two Pillager Outposts on the northwest and southeast ends of the ocean. The Cold Ocean itself is filled with ruins and Ocean Monuments. You could defeat the Pillager Outposts and declare yourself the next pirate king, or just sneak around them to loot the ocean's treasures—the choice is yours.

Cliffside Pillager Outpost

Seed: -8778747388942587820

Spawn starts you off at the edge of a Cherry Grove. Heading to the northwest about 500 blocks will reward you with a Pillager Outpost on the other side of a deep, water-filled ravine. What's even more exciting is that underneath the Pillager Outpost lies an Ancient City. If you need to take some time to rest and gather supplies, there's a Plains Village available to the southeast of Spawn.

So Many Scarecrows

Seed: 980981099179692777

This seed spawns you on the edge of a Forest biome facing both a Savannah biome and a Beach. Following along the beach while heading south will lead you to a Pillager Outpost. The outpost stands tall in between Plains and Savannah biomes and, funnily enough, has a group of six scarecrows standing menacingly behind it. A beached shipwreck can be found about a hundred blocks to the northwest.

Mountain Outpost

Seed: 1321954706503863714

This seed spawns you right next to a beautifully laid out village extending out into a river. Beside the village is a snow-capped mountain range with a Pillager Outpost sitting on its cliffs, almost resembling a guard tower for the village below. The valley in the middle of this mountain range is a perfect spot for building a base surrounded by Jagged Peaks. If this Pillager Outpost is not enough, you will also find more Pillager Outposts toward the south and a dual Witch Hut in the middle of a swamp.

Snowy Outpost Spawn

Seed: 2020201525847080694

Swamp Alcove

Seed: 3837059650514034367

This map is a structural wonder for any Minecraft player, with plenty of Villages and Desert Temples to uncover. The jewel of this seed is in a Desert alcove within the world's giant Mangrove Swamp.
