Best Minecraft Bedrock Seeds for 1.21 and 26.x (2026): Villages, Spruce Forests, Stony Peaks and All Biomes

Minecraft Bedrock world with village and mountain biomes near spawn

Looking for a Bedrock seed that puts villages, rare biomes and structures close to spawn? Structure coordinates below were tested on Bedrock 1.20 and 1.21, and the terrain is unchanged on 26.x. Minecraft now uses year-based version numbers: the Wilderness Bound drop arrived as Bedrock 26.50 on September 15, 2026, and 26.52 is the current patch as of October 2026. Terrain from 1.18 onward is consistent across 1.20 through 26.x; only occasional structure positions shift between patches.

What is a Minecraft map seed?

A seed (also called a map seed or world seed) is the number Minecraft uses to build a world. It fixes the position of every biome, mountain, cave and structure. Leave the field blank and the game rolls a random one. Enter a seed someone shared and you get the same map they played, on any Bedrock device running a compatible version.

That is why game seeds for Minecraft get swapped so often: one short number stands in for a whole world. Valid numeric seeds run from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807, and every seed on this page is a plain number you can paste in.

How to enter a seed on Bedrock

The steps are the same on Windows, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, Android and iOS.

  1. Tap Play, then Create New, then Create New World.
  2. Under World settings, scroll to Seed and paste the number.
  3. Pick game mode and difficulty, then Create.

Find the seed of an existing world: open the world's Edit screen (pencil icon in the world list) or Settings > Game while in the world, or type /seed in chat with cheats enabled.

Bedrock Dedicated Server: set level-seed= in server.properties before the world is generated for the first time.

Realms: create the world locally with the seed first, then use Replace World in the Realm settings to upload it.

You cannot change the seed of a world after it is created. Start a new world with the seed instead.

Bedrock seeds on PC (Windows)

Minecraft for Windows is the Bedrock Edition, so every seed on this page works on PC exactly as it does on consoles and phones. If you play Java on PC instead, terrain from these seeds will match, but villages and temples will be elsewhere: use our Java seeds list for Java coordinates.

Taiga

Taiga

Seed: 5228792556140118947

Do Java seeds work on Bedrock?

Since 1.18, overworld terrain (biomes, mountains, caves) generates the same on Java and Bedrock for the same seed. Structures do not: villages, temples, mansions and strongholds sit in different places. Nether and End generation also differ. A Java seed gives you the same landscape but not the same village coordinates.

For Java picks, see our best Minecraft seeds for Java Edition. For villager trading, check all Minecraft village jobs. Once you pick a spawn, our Minecraft house ideas cover your first base.

Older Bedrock seeds (1.16 to 1.17)

These were popular before the 1.18 terrain overhaul. They only produce the described world if you set the version to 1.16 or 1.17. On 1.18 and later the terrain changes completely.

Are Bedrock seeds the same on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and mobile?
Yes. Bedrock is one codebase, so a seed generates the same world on every Bedrock platform running the same version.
Why does my world look different from the description?
You may be on a different major version. Terrain is stable from 1.18 through 26.x, but villages and temples occasionally shift between patches. Legacy seeds in the older section only work on 1.16 or 1.17.
How do I find the seed of my world?
Open Settings then Game inside the world, check the world's Edit screen from the world list, or use /seed with cheats enabled.
What is a map seed in Minecraft Bedrock?
It is the number the game uses to generate a world. The same seed on the same Bedrock version builds the same map on every device, so you can share a good world with friends just by sharing the number.
Do these seeds work on Minecraft for PC?
Yes, if you play Minecraft for Windows, which is the Bedrock Edition. Java Edition on PC gets the same terrain but different structure positions, so use a Java seed list for Java.
Can I change the seed of an existing world?
No. The seed is set when the world is created. Make a new world with the seed you want. For a Realm, create the world locally first and upload it.
What is the best Bedrock seed for beginners?
The mushroom island seed 1072901690525385019 is safest because hostile mobs cannot spawn on mycelium. For a normal survival game with a village nearby, try -7197042685382216704.
Does Minecraft still use 1.21 version numbers?
Not in 2026. Mojang switched to year-based numbering: Bedrock 26.50 (Wilderness Bound) launched September 15, 2026 and 26.52 is the latest patch. The terrain generation rules from 1.18 onward still apply under the new numbering.
