Even though the game was first released to the public back in 2009, Minecraft players are still discovering cool new seeds even now in 2022. From desert oases to jungle cities, seeds are a great way to jump right into an exciting game with instant access to rare resources. For players looking to complete a speed run or just to have a solid starting point, using the right seed in Minecraft is essential.

Minecraft seeds are codes used by players to generate specific worlds. Every world comes with its unique seed, but many players opt to use a seed that has already been explored. No two seeds are identical to one another, so there is no telling what the world will hold outside of using an already explored seed. However, players can choose a seed explored by other players that could have all the necessary resources, villages, and fantastic vistas to get started.

While players can launch into a Minecraft session without inputting a specific seed, it's anyone's guess as to what the surrounding area will be like or what resources will be available. That's one of the great benefits of using a custom seed in Minecraft—choosing what cool features are accessible at spawn. It is important to note that the seeds below could differ between game versions.

The Coolest Minecraft Seeds for 2022

Seed: 2065486297

  • In this seed, players spawn into an abandoned village. While at first glance, this seed seems relatively boring, there is more than meets the eye. A ravine cuts through the village, housing a stronghold underneath to explore, filled with rare tools and resources. Not too far away is an active village for players to farm crops, trade with villagers, and claim a bed as they get set up, which is strongly recommended before getting too deep into the stronghold.

  • There is never a downside to spawning close by to a village. From setting up a home base to trading with the village's inhabitants, the advantages to this spawn are numerous. Also known as the Island Village seed, players will find themselves in a fully functional village positioned serenely in the middle of the ocean, which makes it a great location for anyone who enjoys fishing or exploring the sea flood. If the idyllic view isn't enough, there is a mushroom and ice plains biome in the not-so-far distance, which is especially cool considering how rare it is to find ice plains.

  • If spawning in a village is a great advantage, spawning in an area immediately surrounded by five must be ideal. One of the chief complaints about using random Minecraft seeds is how hard and monotonous it can be to get started. But starting out with multiple villages around means quick access to essential tools, food, and items that allow players to get to the more fun features faster. As a special bonus, Bedrock edition players spawn with a sixth village nearby.

  • With the 1.18 update to Minecraft, developers placed a strong emphasis on mountains and caves. This seed allows players to immediately experience the new mobs, items, and landscapes by spawning them next to a deep, intricate cave system with a picturesque mountain range nearby. Where this seed lacks in village access, it makes up for by giving players the chance to check out all of the new features from the most recent update.
