Although each Minecraft world is unique, some worlds are better than others.

Some seeds feature unique structures and terrains, while others offer advantageous spawn points that can help you survive in the early goings. 

Today, we will check out the best survival seeds in Minecraft that can help you jumpstart your adventure!

Having a great start is crucial when playing survival mode in Minecraft. And what better way to start your game than a world that spawns you between a rare Woodland Mansion and a floating village?

This seed also offers lush forests with tons of resources that can help you craft starting tools to get going with your journey.

If that’s not enough, this seed also features two nearby shipwrecks at coordinates X: 120 Z: -152 and X: -152 Z: -232.

Survival Island

Seed: 562949961421314
Coordinates of Screenshot: X: 64 Z: 384

Many Minecraft players love setting up camp on an isolated island and making the entire archipelago their own. What separates this seed is that there’s a nearby island with a plains village, making it a perfect spot to set up your fortress. 

While this seed won’t spawn you directly into the island, it’s just a boat ride away from the spawn point (X: 64 Z: 384). 

This also gives you time to gather things you need in a nearby sparse jungle, so you’re prepared for what you’ll encounter on the island. 

A nearby shipwreck and ruined portal are also available on this survival island seed. 

Highlights: 

  • Buried Treasure (X: -535 Z: 89)
  • Mineshaft (X: 296 Z: -104)
  • Ancient City (X: 584 Y: -51 Z: -664)
  • Ocean Monument (X: -1,208 Z: -664)

If that’s not enough, there are also nearby islands that can serve as your starting base.

Two of the nearby islands feature a mushroom field biome, which is known for not spawning hostile mobs. They also feature caves that are full of ores and building blocks.

At first, this survival seed doesn’t look special. You are spawned in a spruce taiga biome with a nearby village and ruined portal. However, there’s something amazing hiding within the depths of this world. 

Upon traveling to the Nether dimension, you’ll spawn near a Nether Fortress and Bastion Remnant, both of which are extremely hard to find. Although exploring these areas puts you at a huge risk, they are the most loot-heavy structures in the Nether dimension. 

Considering how important Smithing Templates are in Minecraft 1.20, going to the Nether is worth it since you can find three distinct templates within the same building.

There’s also a nearby desert temple that is 80 blocks beneath the surface, where you can get some armor trims and pottery shards. On the other hand, it can also work as an underground starter base.
