This seed is absolutely packed with different structures to explore. To start, you’ll come across a set of Cold Ocean Ruins on top of a Plains biome by the ocean north of Spawn. The ocean itself is home to another small Cold Ocean Ruin as well as an imposing Ocean Monument. If you’re not yet prepared to take on such a dangerous structure, travel west from the ruins for a Desert Temple and a Plains Village.

  • Biomes: Desert, Plains, Savanna

A Pillager Outpost stands in the center of a Desert’s river, preventing the neighboring Plains Village from accessing the river’s water. Saving the villagers from the Pillagers’ tyranny will require you to defeat everyone in the outpost before dismantling it. If you need some time to prepare yourself first, there are two other villages in the vicinity. The first is a Savanna Village to the north while the second is a Desert Village on an island very close to the continent you spawn on.

When you’re feeling nostalgic for old Minecraft or just want to spend some time grinding away, simpler survival seeds are best. This one features a Plains Village with a ruined Nether portal near Spawn. The portal is only missing four obsidian blocks, so it won’t be too much trouble to rebuild. Its chest comes with a few pieces of enchanted golden armor that will help protect you from Piglins if you choose to enter the Nether.

You’ll also find a room with pumpkins and watermelons, a library, and plenty of Pillagers to farm for experience points.
