The Nether Update required some serious fixes regarding server crashes, pushing Mojang to release a flurry of updates. Here are the top 30 Minecraft 1.16.5 seeds you can safely play without stressing over stability issues.
Minecraft 1.16.5: Top 30 Seeds List
Oceanic Witch Hut
This witch’s hut floats idly in an ocean that has merged with a Swamp biome. If you’re brave enough to venture into the hut and defeat its witch in battle, you’ll have access to a crafting table and a cauldron. Additionally, you’ll be able to adopt a black cat. Return to the island at Spawn to explore a shipwreck and a nearly completed ruined Nether portal. The portal’s chest has almost everything you need to repair it except for a single obsidian block, which you’ll need to either find or craft yourself.

- Biomes: Basalt Delta, Plains, Taiga
Walk southeast from Spawn to discover a Plains Village at the edge of a Taiga. There is a small crater on one side of the village.

Shipwreck and Ruined Portal by Blacksmith Village
One of the best structures to spawn next to in Minecraft is a village with a Blacksmith. The village gives players access to food and villager trades, while the Blacksmith has a chest containing armor and tools. An extra benefit of this seed is that the shipwreck next to the village has a chest that contains several emeralds. These can be traded with the Blacksmith for even better gear, or with one of the other villagers for other items to help you survive. Make sure to visit the Nether Portal hidden by the mountain for a few extra treasures before heading off to explore the rest of the world.

March on Mansion
- Seed: 1083342820
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 44, 4
- Biomes: Dark Forest, Forest, Plains
Woodland Mansions in older versions of Minecraft often have more unique generations than Mansions in more up-to-date versions. This Mansion has cut through a small pond, causing a puddle to form on its third floor. Wierdly enough, the water floats in place rather than spilling all over the floor! This isn’t the only unique feature of the Mansion as it also has three copies of the same hidden room on its first floor.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |

| Plains Village 1: 44, 4 |
| Taiga Village: -223, 64 |

Pillaged Village
- Seed: 1249606256
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 260, 16
- Biomes: Plains, Taiga
A Pillager Outpost stands tall next to this Taiga Village. The only thing standing between the villagers and the Pillagers are a few Iron Golems, but they’re struggling to keep up against the Pillagers’ numbers. This means it’s up to you to protect the villagers from their attackers. Creative players could build a wall to keep the Pillagers out while survivalists can take on the Pillagers themselves or grow the village to increase the number of Iron Golems.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Taiga Village: 605, 100 |

Desert Savanna island
- Seed: -1146020902
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 708, 4
- Biomes: Desert, Ocean, Savanna
Spawn on a small Beach island next to a much larger Desert and Savanna island. Just by looking around the island, you’ll be able to easily find two Savanna Villages. They’ll have plenty of useful resources despite the fact that neither has a Blacksmith. Players looking for resources like you would find in a Blacksmith will find some helpful treasures in the two Desert Temples hidden in the island’s Desert.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |

| Savanna Village 1: 925, -339 |

Jungle Temple in a Savanna Village
- Seed: 1958280979
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 44, 4
- Biomes: Jungle, Savanna
The close proximity of Jungle and Savanna biomes in this world has allowed a Jungle Temple to spawn next to a Savanna Village. It makes its home in the river between the two biomes and contains several chests of treasure. Looting it and the village will give you everything you need to survive well in this world. If you find yourself wanting more, there is a second Jungle Temple closer to Spawn with two more loot chests.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Jungle Temple: 278, 7 |
| Savanna Village: -282, -372 |
| Jungle Temple 2: -300, -410 |
Hidden Snowy Beach Igloo
You won’t have to worry about hostile mobs when you live in this Snowy Beach biome. This is because one side of the beach is home to an igloo, which is only visible to those who look at it from a specific direction. It can easily be turned into a secure base just by adding a door. Look beneath the carpet in this igloo to find its hidden basement. Not only will this give you a Golden Apple, but it will help you expand the igloo without collapsing the beach around it.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Underwater ruined Nether portal: -363, 40 |
| Igloo with basement: -301, -159 |
Snowy Swamp village
- Seed: -79198828
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 44, 4
- Biomes: Forest, Snowy Plains, Swamp
This Snowy Village extends into a small Swamp biome, making its white igloos stand out from the rest of the village. The village is home to a single Blacksmith whose home chest contains 3 diamonds. This means you’ll be able to craft a diamond pickaxe or an enchanting table at the start of your world! Explore the Snowy Plains to find an igloo with a basement close to the town.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Snowy Village: 94, -226 |
| Igloo with basement: 187, -157 |
Mansion with missing patches
Parts of this Mansion’s floor are missing, causing them to be filled with water or dirt. This allows you to sneak into some rooms through the holes, making for a unique Mansion experience! You’ll also have an easier time fighting Creepers and other hostile mobs using the pools of water. While you explore the Mansion and uncover these patches, make sure to search the walls for hints about secret rooms.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Woodland Mansion: 1,384, -840 |
Plains Village above Stronghold
- Seed: 1920047558
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 48, 4
- Biomes: Forest, Plains
A ravine filled with lava cuts through the center of this Plains Village. It gives you immediate access to ores so long as you tread carefully and dig through the ravine’s walls. As a bonus, you’ll also find a Stronghold directly beneath the village. It is tiny and leads you directly to an End Portal with a single Eye of Ender.

Starting Stronghold
- Seed: -250494459

- Spawn: 632, 8
- Biomes: Desert, Plains
Nothing is sweeter than a Minecraft seed with an End Portal next to Spawn. This world begins in a Plains Village next to a Desert and a Savanna. By traveling into the Desert and digging down, you’ll drop into one of the Stronghold’s many staircases. Walk through its halls to find an End Portal with two Eyes of Ender already inserted.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village: 676, 73 |
| Stronghold staircase: 948, 32, 101 |
| End Portal: 946, 16, 112 |
Dangerous Desert
If you’re looking for a challenge, look no further than this Desert world. There are three Desert Temples and two Pillager Outposts in the area surrounding Spawn. If you’re not confident in taking them on barehanded, visit the village by the first temple to gather supplies before moving on to the hostile structures. By the time you conquer them all, you’ll be the owner of untold riches.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |

Six Temple Jungle
- Seed: 29984597
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 44, 4
- Biomes: Jungle, Jungle Hills
Six Jungle Temples occupy this large Jungle. They’re scattered around the biome so you will need to travel around to reach them all. While exploring them, make sure to uncover the secret chest inside of each one for special treasures. Players who tire of the Jungle can head east to wander through a Snowy Plains biome.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Jungle Temple 1: 37, 69 |

| Jungle Temple 5: 358, -185 |
| Jungle Temple 6: 581, -169 |
Mushroom peninsula
One of the coolest aspects of Minecraft 1.16.5 is that you can often find Mushroom Field biomes attached to other biomes. In this seed, you spawn on a small survival island next to a Mushroom Island connected to a Savanna. You’ll be surprised to find an acacia village crossing over from the Savanna into the mushroom biome. There is another village a thousand blocks away; otherwise, you’ll need to explore the ocean for structures.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Ocean Monument: -232, 376 |
| Mushroom peninsula: -60, 136 |
| Savanna village: 24, 8 |
| Second Savanna village: 790, -499 |
Spawn Mansion
A cozy little village is at Spawn alongside a small two-story Woodland Mansion. You will find some really good secret chests hidden inside the mansion, but the mobs won’t let you get them that easily. To the west of Spawn, a large lake hides several buried treasure chests. I recommend traveling this way first so you can use the materials from the chests to take on the Woodland Mansion’s monsters.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village: 94, 36 |
| Woodland Mansion: 115, 105 |
| Buried Treasure 1: -519, 58, 73 |

Ice Spiked village
I spawned in the center of a large Ice Spikes patch in this seed. To my surprise, there was a tiny village on the outskirts of the biome. Although there isn’t much loot in the village itself, there are not one but two igloos with basements nearby. These two should provide you with enough gold to buy any tools and gear you need.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Ice Spiked village: 45, 7 |
| Igloo with basement 1: 344, 296 |
| Igloo with basement 2: 312, -408 |
Jungle Temple guardians
What if you found a village with a Jungle Temple integrated into its architecture? Well, here’s your chance to discover such a village at the start of a Minecraft world. The huts stand so close to each other that they merge with the temple. This combined structure can function as a base after getting rid of all the mobs inside.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Jungle Temple guardians: 104, 56 |
| Jungle Temple 2: -216, -216 |
| Pillager Outpost in Desert Temple: 888, 104 |
Mushroom Plains Village
There’s no safer place in Minecraft than a Mushroom Island. If you spawn here, you’ll get a village and a nice patch of mushrooms that will protect you from all hostile mobs. When you find yourself ready for a challenge, travel a few hundred blocks to a Pillager Outpost. If you don’t feel prepared to take on the Pillagers, visit a buried treasure chest to gather materials to craft weapons.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Mushroom village: 67, 106 |
| Buried Treasure: 441, 52, -199 |
| Pillager Outpost: 569, 234 |
Minecraft Mansion adventures
This seed begins in a village that has been generated next to a Woodland Mansion. Since there are no other structures in a thousand-block radius of Spawn, it’s the perfect opportunity to test your survival skills using only the tools and materials available from the start of the world. If you tire of living next to tons of Illagers and other hostile mobs, travel to the closest Taiga Village and retire from fighting.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village: 51, 28 |
| Woodland Mansion: 9, 132 |
| Taiga Village: -1,019, -4 |
Village on top of a Shattered Savanna
Hot and dry biomes, such as Savannas and Deserts, have plenty of helpful uses despite not being the best for farming due to a lack of water. In this seed, you’ll spawn in an acacia village that stands on top of a Shattered Savanna biome with some nice waterfalls. On this hill, you can mine materials like stone, coal, iron, gold, diamond, redstone, and copper.
| Key Locations and their Coordinates |
|---|
| Shattered Savanna village: 29, 47 |
| Desert Temple: 328, -248 |

Mysterious Jungle village home
What if one of the huts in a village was actually a Jungle Temple full of loot? This seed makes this idea come to life in the small village closest to Spawn. After visiting this village, I urge you to explore the northern part of the Jungle as you’ll find three more Jungle Temples.

Spawn is set on a large Mushroom Island with a very unusual Plains Village. The village is generated on a tiny piece of Plains biome, something you rarely see in newer Minecraft seeds.

Small Nether mansion
This world begins in a small Plains Village east of a Shattered Savanna biome. Walk west over the Shattered Savanna’s hills to come across a second village and a Woodland Mansion. The Mansion is on the smaller size, but it comes with a ruined Nether Portal to make up for the missing rooms. Its chest has a golden pickaxe enchanted with Fortune III that allows you to gather extra diamonds at the start of your game.

Begin your adventure between two villages in this seed. The first is surrounded by trees in a Taiga biome while the second resides in an Ice Spikes biome.

Multi-biome intersection

Travel into the Desert to find a village trapped between a Mesa and an Extreme Hills biome. If you prefer an ocean view, head south from Spawn to find a village on an ocean shore.
