What makes this seed a great speedrun seed is the Stronghold in close proximity to Spawn. It is only 700 blocks away, contains an End Portal with three activated eyes, and is fortunately located beneath a Plains Village. The best way to visit the Nether is by using the ruined portal a short walk from the village. It is missing 5 obsidian blocks, but does have a pool of lava beneath it that can be used for crafting them.

While traveling to the Stronghold in this seed, you’ll come across a village with a Blacksmith. Make sure to loot the chest in his home because it contains a diamond and six obsidian blocks. These blocks will make it easy to rebuild any ruined Nether portal, but I’d recommend holding onto them until you reach a ruined portal next to a Plains Village. It has flint and iron nuggets in its chest, allowing you to immediately craft a flint-and-steel to light the portal. When you’re done in the Nether, returning to this portal in the Overworld will leave you about 500 blocks away from the Stronghold.

Not all Bedrock Strongholds are guaranteed to have End Portals, so you’ll be happy to discover that the closest End Portal to Spawn does. There won’t be any active eyes in the portal, but there will be a village above it. Stop by a ruined Nether portal while on your way to this village. The best one on the way is nearly completed and will take you about 200 blocks away from a Nether Fortress.

Everything you need to beat the game can be found on your way to the Stronghold, making this a great seed for speedrunners. To start, you’ll come across a Taiga Village and a ruined Nether portal while on your journey. The portal’s chest contains enough obsidian to complete the portal alongside a flint-and-steel, so reaching it will immediately send you to a place in the Nether near a Nether Fortress. You’ll only need enough Blaze Rods for eleven Eyes of Ender since the End Portal already has one active eye.

There’s nothing better than finding everything you need to speedrun Minecraft within 800 blocks of Spawn. The path towards the Stronghold contains two ruined Nether portals, one with obsidian in its chest and one with a flint-and-steel. Take the obsidian from the first portal and use it to complete the second. The portal will spawn on top of the lava ocean in the Nether, so make sure to gather blocks to build a path to the Fortress. After leaving the Nether, you’ll find a Stronghold with an empty End Portal beneath a Taiga Village on the same mountain range as the portal.

The best ruined Nether portal in this seed comes before the village, so you’ll need to be skilled enough to go at the Nether with minimum resources. Thankfully, the portal leads you to a place in the Nether about 400 blocks away from a Nether Fortress. You’ll find the world’s nearest Stronghold, which has an End Portal with one Eye of Ender, on an island to the east.

A speedrun is easy to do in this seed since there are two ruined Nether portals, two Plains Villages, and a Stronghold on the Plains biome you spawn in. Start by gathering materials from the first portal and the Plains Village with a Blacksmith to use to rebuild the second portal. This one will drop you straight onto a Nether Fortress, making it super easy to farm Blazes for rods! Once you have enough, head to a second Plains Village in the distance. The Stronghold with an End Portal is located directly beneath this village.

This is another speedrun seed that spawns you next to a village. To reach a Nether Portal that you can take immediately, you’ll need to travel to a Savanna a few hundred blocks away. There are two Strongholds in the area beneath Spawn. I recommend checking out the one beneath the continent because it already has an active Eye of Ender in its End Portal and will be easier to reach.

You’ll be speedrunning Minecraft in no time at all with this seed. You’ll spawn next to a Plains Village with a Blacksmith, whose chest mainly contains food. After visiting them, walk southwest to find a ruined Nether portal next to a Forest. There will be enough obsidian in its chest to repair it, making a trip to the Nether easier than ever. This seed’s Stronghold has an End Portal with no active eyes beneath a Plains Village to the southwest.

One of the first things you see at Spawn is a Plains Village. Visit it, then walk towards a nearby Swamp to find a ruined Nether portal and a pool of lava. The Stronghold in this seed contains an End Portal with two active Eyes of Ender, so you’ll only need to slay enough Blazes for six Blaze Rods.

Less than 1,500 blocks from Spawn, you’ll find an End Portal with two active Eyes of Ender beneath a Plains Village with a Blacksmith. Make sure to stop by a Snowy Village with a ruined Nether portal on your way there. The portal is only missing a single obsidian block, so you won’t have to do much work to get it running.

If you’re comfortable using the lava bucket method to build a Nether portal, this is a cool speedrun seed to try out! You’ll spawn in a Forest, but will need to make your way east to a Savanna Village with a Blacksmith. The smith’s chest contains enough iron ingots to make a single bucket so you can craft your Nether portal. Luckily, crafting the Nether portal near the village will generate one only a hundred blocks from a Nether Fortress. Afterward, head to the eastern edge of the Savanna to find a Stronghold containing an End Portal with one Eye of Ender inside of it.

This is one of the better starts on our list for Bedrock players. Leaving Spawn will lead you directly into a Savanna Village, whose Blacksmith has a chest with six obsidian blocks inside. Use these six blocks to almost completely rebuild a ruined Nether portal above a river. You’ll need to use the lava bucket method for the final obisidan block, but it’s more than worth it because the Nether portal will take you to a Crimson Forest 100 blocks from a Nether Fortress. The End portal in this world has two active eyes already, so you won’t need to gather too many Blaze Rods to finish it.

Spawn in a Snowy Village with an almost finished exposed ruined portal. The portal’s chest comes with a flint-and-steel, but you’ll need to craft the missing three obsidian blocks yourself Once you arrive in the Nether, you’ll need to walk 400 blocks to reach a Fortress with a Blaze Spawner. The nearest Stronghold in the Overworld is under 900 blocks away and is home to an End Portal with a single Eye of Ender.

Since speedruns focus on structures and speed, you won’t often have the chance to have unique biome generation in your seeds. This seed combines the best of speedrun seed efficiency with Minecraft’s beautiful Lush Cave biome to create an aesthetically-pleasing world that will get you to the Ender Dragon as quickly as possible. Visit two Nether portals to gather gold armor and obsidian, then rebuild the second portal to arrive in the Nether not far from a Fortress. Afterward, all you have to do is locate the End Portal in the Stronghold to reach the end of the game.

Spawn in extremely beneficial conditions with two Plains Villages, each with a blacksmith. There’s also a lava pool nearby and lots of water, so you can easily make obsidian blocks for your Nether portal. Once in the Nether, you”ll find a Fortress with a Blaze Spawner not too far away. The nearest stronghold is located less than 1,000 blocks away from Spawn. Unfortunately, its End Portal does not start with any Eyes of Ender.

Next to Spawn is a buried ruined Nether portal that is only missing two obsidian blocks. What makes this one particularly special is the full suit of enchanted golden armor in its chest. It will keep you safe during your travels in the Nether, so all you need to do is make sure you don’t attack any Piglins. There is a Stronghold beneath a Desert Village in the same Desert. It doesn’t have any Eyes of Ender, so you’ll need to gather enough Blaze Rods for a full set.

If you don’t want to build your own nether portal, then here’s a speedrun Minecraft seed that will spawn you into a village with a ruined portal that needs just a bit of fixing. When ready, it’ll take you straight to a Nether Fortress with plenty of Blazes. After collecting Blaze Rods, head over to the closest Stronghold to finish an End Portal that starts with three Eyes of Ender.

Snow covers the land around Spawn in this seed. To start the speedrun, you’ll need to travel to a ruined Nether portal that is missing two obsidian blocks. The first is in the chest next to it while you’ll have to make or find the second yourself. Like several other seeds on our list, the Stronghold in this area is located beneath a village. Use the village to recover your health and grab supplies, then dig down to find an End Portal containing a single Eye of Ender.

You’ll find this Plains Village and ruined Nether portal combination only a short walk from the start of this world. The best part of this seed is the fact that the ruined portal is only missing a few obsidian blocks. It’ll take you very close to a Nether Fortress with a guaranteed Blaze Spawner. Luckily, a Stronghold with an End Portal with two active eyes is also a relatively short distance from Spawn compared to most seeds.

Above this world’s Stronghold is a Desert Village and a small pool of lava. While you can visit a Nether portal next to Spawn for an obsidian block and a few other resources, you’ll ultimately need to build a new Nether portal using this lava pool. Once you’ve done that and crafted enough Eyes of Ender, digging down to the End Portal beneath the village will be a piece of cake.

The starting area has an exposed ruined portal present but no village. You won’t need it as there are a few blocks of obsidian in the chest and lava and water to use to craft more obsidian. Once you enter the Nether, you will quickly find the Nether Fortress as it’s only a short walk from the portal. When you return to the Overworld, you’ll be happy to discover the closest Stronghold has an End Portal with three active eyes already.

The key factor in this speedrun seed is a Taiga Village home that has merged with a Nether portal. There is a lava pool on the other side of the town, so you can decide whether to rebuild the damaged portal or create your own next to the lava. After finishing in the Nether, you can travel to a neighboring town in the west and dig down to discover a Stronghold with an End Portal.

Start this speedrun by traveling to a Plains Village with a Blacksmith for two diamonds and some gear. Next, head into a Savanna to reach a ruined portal which has a chest containing enough obsidian to rebuild it. The Nether Fortress in this world is overrun with Blazes, so you won’t have any trouble getting their powder. Fortunately, the Stronghold in this world gives you a slight advantage because it starts with three active Eyes of Ender.

Most speedrun seeds will only have you go underground when its time to enter the Stronghold. This one is unique because you’ll want to hop into a large, lava-filled cavern as soon as you arrive in the world. The areas where water meets the lava at the bottom of the cavern are covered in a layer of obsidian, which will act as the first layer of your Nether portal. You’ll have the opportunity to build a portal and gather Blaze Rods in the Nether by either crafting a diamond pickaxe or using a bucket with the lava and water in the cave. Afterward, exit the cave and travel northeast until you hit a Plains Village, which is on top of a Stronghold with an End Portal.

Here’s one of the luckiest speedrun seeds that I was able to spot. It spawns you right next to a village with a Blacksmith and an exposed ruined Nether portal. This portal will drop you off only a few hundred blocks from a Nether Fortress with a Blaze Spawner. When you return from gathering Blaze Powder, you can travel to an End Portal with one Eye of Ender already activated.

You won’t have any issues getting to The End in this seed. To start, you’ll spawn near a Snowy Village with a Blacksmith whose chest contains six obsidian blocks. Next to the village is a ruined portal, which can easily be rebuilt using the blocks from the Blacksmith. This portal spawn is just as lucky as your Overworld spawn because it is right next to a Bastion Remnant and only a few hundred blocks from a Nether Fortress. Not to be outdone, the Stronghold in this world is equally special because it is home to a mineshaft.

You’ll spawn on an ocean shore with a village that conveniently has a lava pool in the center. With the help of a bucket and water, you can make obsidian for a Nether portal. Afterward, step through the Nether portal and visit the nearby Nether Fortress to gather plenty of Blaze Powder. You’ll only need enough for eight Eyes of Ender since the portal in this world’s Stronghold already has four active eyes.

Upon entering this world, you’ll immediately want to embark on a journey 1,000 blocks to the northwest. Just beyond the Cherry Grove biome is an area containing two villages, a ruined Nether portal that can be immediately rebuilt, and not one, but two Strongholds. The first Stronghold is beneath a Taiga Village while the second is beneath a Plains Village in the Cherry Grove. I recommend visiting the second Stronghold as the first has been fragmented by a mineshaft, making it difficult to explore.

There’s no village in this seed at spawn, but you’ll get an almost completed ruined Nether portal instead. The portal’s chest is only missing one obsidian, which you can easily make using the lava bucket method. It also contains an enchanted golden pickaxe and helmet for protection against the Nether’s mobs. You will need to travel a bit to reach a Fortress in the Nether and a Stronghold in the Overworld, but the former will be guaranteed to have a Blaze Spawner while the latter will have an End Portal with no eyes.
