For players who want some more control as they start their newest Minecraft world, there are plenty of new seeds in 2022 with exciting worlds for players to hop into. Additionally, players who want a specific biome to spawn in or want a rare structure can build their base around immediately; using a particular seed allows players to choose how they start their world and see some more rare or unique situations they wouldn’t find otherwise.
For players looking to spawn next to zombie-infested villages, bamboo forests with pandas, deserted islands, or beautiful new caves in Minecraft Version 1.18, players can use plenty of seeds to start their adventures off with. These seeds give players a spawn location near something exciting, so players know where they’re starting before they explore the rest of their world.
To use a seed, players need to select Create a New World, then click the World Options button. From there, players will have access to a text box where they can type a custom seed for the world generator. These seeds are a string of numbers that generate a specific world, allowing players to spawn in specific predetermined locations rather than randomly generating a new world.
Minecraft 1.18: Best Seeds (February 2022)
Stronghold Village
Seed: 2065486297
This seed spawns players right next to an abandoned village. While the village can grant players with some helpful resources right out the gate, the real gem is the secret that lies underneath it. A ravine cuts directly through the village, and players will be able to spot some wooden blocks at the bottom of it. Following these blocks will lead players to a stronghold, meaning they’ll have a way to access the End at the very beginning of the game. This seed is a perfect way to start for players looking to beat the Ender Dragon as soon as possible.
Abandoned Mineshaft Next to Village
Seed: 141280768
This seed spawns players right next to a village. While this isn’t uncommon, this village has a ravine with an exposed mineshaft in the desert biome a few blocks away. Players will easily spot the waterfall and lava pit-filled ravine and see the wooden blocks of the mineshaft running through it. This seed is an excellent way for players to start with some rare resources, easy access to shelter, and a good mining location in Minecraft.
Survival Islands
Seed: 67080907
This seed is perfect for players who love the ocean or are looking for more of a challenge. Players will spawn on a medium-sized island in the middle of the ocean, with a tiny forest surrounded by sand. Nearby are many other tiny islands players can swim or boat to. This seed gives players just enough to start with, and the mainland is relatively close by if players want a break from island life. The mainland also has a village right on the coast if players want to do some trading.
Mushroom Peninsula
Seed: 992826707
This seed spawns players directly into one on the coast for players who love Mushroom biomes. This Mushroom biome isn’t too large and is connected to a regular forest. However, all other three sides of it are surrounded by water. This makes it an excellent spawn point for players who want a mushroom biome that’s easy to spot but wants easy access to other biomes. In addition, there’s also an underwater monument just off the coast for players to test their strength and gather rare materials.
Bamboo Forest
Seed: 1959330209
Bamboo forests were added to Minecraft a few years ago, and this seed spawns players directly into the middle of a huge one. In addition, this bamboo forest is also filled with Pandas, making it great for players who love the adorable black and white bears. The forest is also right next to a jungle biome, so players have a lot of greenery to work with.
Zombie Village
Seed: 427074153
This seed drops players right in the middle of a zombie village for players into horror or those who love combat. Players will be able to fight their way out of the village, use it to farm zombies, or make it their home for added difficulty. In addition, there’s another zombie village just across the plains.
Dripstone Cave
Seed: -1895276179
This seed spawns players next to a pillager outpost, so players will have to fight to escape right after spawning. However, not far from spawn (at coordinates -31, 73, 749), players will be able to find an exposed dripstone cave system, which is a vast, beautiful cave filled with stalactites, new to Minecraft 1.18’s big cave update.
Crazy Cliffs
Seed: 1671036691
This seed using the New cliffs from the Minecraft 1.18 update drops players near a snowy and plains biome separated by enormous cliffs. These unique insane cliffs give fantastic views of both biomes, and players will be able to encounter goats atop the cliffs. There’s also a lake at the bottom, making it a beautiful place to build a cliffside hideout.
