Starting your Minecraft world near a village is a huge advantage. You’ll have access to tools, food, and shelter right from the start without having to punch a single tree. However, not all villages are made the same. If you’re looking for the best ones, we’ve got you covered with our list of the 30 best Minecraft 1.20 village seeds.

Ancient City Blacksmith
- Seed: -2821195275997341365
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Cherry Grove, Deep Dark, Dripstone Cave, Snowy Plains
The Blacksmith Village in this seed is situated on the edge of a small, snowy mountain. Explore beneath this mountain to find an Ancient City. The neighboring Cherry Grove is home to the world’s spawn with a second Ancient City beneath its surface. Both cities are found within Dripstone Caves and feature a chest in the center containing a golden apple.

Stony Savanna Village
A Stony Shores biome is one of the best ones to find next to any Minecraft village. This one is riddled with exposed coal, iron, and copper ore, so you’ll be able to craft decent tools and armor on your first day in the world. Use these tools to explore the shipwreck and underwater ruins in the nearby lake and Warm Ocean. They’ll make gathering treasures like Coastal Armor Trims and Sniffer Eggs as easy as punching trees.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |

- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 147, -186
- Biomes: Deep Dark, Flower Forest, Plains
A small Plains biome was generated in the middle of a Flower Forest biome in this world, allowing this unique floral village to come to life. It has the traditional appearance of a Plains Village while being surrounded by the various flowers and plants native to the Flower Forest biome. Next to it is a large cave, which you can use to travel to an Ancient City.

Snowy Village Outpost
- Seed: 1580727366494743671
- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 0, 0
- Biomes: Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Slopes
The villagers residing in this Snowy Village live every day carefully to avoid being attacked by the Pillager Outpost next door. While this set-up isn’t ideal for them, it’s perfect if you want to make a Raid Farm in 1.20! Use the villagers living at the top of the hill for the farm while employing those at the bottom to create a trading hall. It’ll take some effort, but it’ll make gathering materials in this survival world a whole lot easier.

| Snowy Village: 216, 111 |
| Pillager Outpost: 247, 168 |
Savanna Mangrove Village
This Savanna Village rests between two small Mangrove Swamps. Its homes have extended into both swamps, especially since the water in each is used to grow crops. While on your way to this village, walk along the coast to spot a shipwreck. Loot the shipwreck and the buried treasure chest next to it to gather valuables to use for bargaining with the villagers.

- Version: Bedrock
- Spawn: 312, -167
- Biomes: Plains, Windswept Gravelly Hills, Windswept Hills
A small Plains biome in the center of these gravelly hills has allowed a Plains Village to spawn on top of them. While it doesn’t have a Blacksmith, the many ores in the neighboring Windswept Hills biome more than make up for it. Cross the water north of the village to find a Pillager Outpost and a second Plains Village with a Blacksmith.

When you enter this world, you’ll spawn on the edge of an Ocean next to a ruined portal and a Cherry Grove. Walk along the shore in the direction opposite the first ruined portal to come across a second ruined portal and a Plains Village. While you may not notice it at first, you’ll find that one of the houses in the village has merged with a Cold Ocean Ruin! The ruin’s treasure is easily reachable without the threat of the Drowned. However, don’t let your guard down since the Drowned will attack the village with other mobs when night falls.

Village trifecta
Spawn in the center of a triangle made up of three villages. One of the villages has eight farms, which is an unusually high number for any village in Minecraft. Together, these villages will give you everything you need to survive well. If you find yourself wanting another one, there will be a fourth village a few hundred blocks to the south.

Cherry villages near Pillager Outpost
Two Cherry Grove villages at Spawn are being threatened by a Pillager Outpost. If both villages put their strength together, they could easily destroy the outpost. However, if you step in you can earn the villagers’ praise and loot all the treasure for yourself. Afterward, dig beneath the nearby hills to find and explore an Ancient City.

| Plains Village 2: -130, -128 |
| Pillager Outpost: 122, -168 |

Riverside towns
The ocean isn’t the only biome that has islands; some of the wider rivers have them too. In this seed, you’ll spawn on a riverbank with a cliffside village. In the middle of the river is an island with another village that has a blacksmith. Actually, both villages stand so close to each other that one might think they form one giant village that the river has divided in half.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village 1: 97, 31 |
| Plains Village 2: 39, -135 |
From village to mansion
Woodland Mansions rarely spawn on the ocean shore, let alone inside of Jungle biomes. In this seed, you’ll spawn between two villages with this rare Mansion only a short trip away. Use the villages to stock up on resources like food, weapons, and armor. Once you’re strong enough to stand on your own, make the trip to the Mansion to show its mobs who’s boss.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |

| Savanna Village: 27, 45 |
| Plains Village: -137, -124 |

Arctic village
- Seed: 2105780120865498318
- Version: Java
- Spawn: -7, 9
- Biomes: Frozen River, Snowy Plains, Snowy Taiga
This world begins on a frozen river next to a Snowy village and an igloo with a basement. If you go north, soon you’ll see another village on the hill above the river. I was surprised to find another igloo with a basement here, plus a set of Trail Ruins. That’s a lot of good loot right at Spawn!

| Snowy Village: -1, 8 |
| Igloo with basement 1: 67, 3 |
| Igloo with basement 2: -236, 373 |
| Trail Ruins: -292, 96 |
Savanna River Island
Here, I spawned on the bank of a river with a rare river island that accommodates a Savanna Village. Travel to the south to find a vast Badlands biome against an ocean shore. If you prefer to stay in the Savanna, look around the underground area near the village to find a mineshaft. You can use one of the nearby shallow caves to help you get started on this mining adventure.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Savanna Village: 25, 11 |
| Shallow cave entrance: 99, 137 |
Two village seed
What could be better than spawning between the two plains villages? Well, one of them could have a blacksmith, which is exactly the case with this seed. The land here has many flat areas for extra construction, making it a great place to start a survival game in easy mode. It makes the exploration in this seed enjoyable without too many obstacles.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village 1: 10, 9 |
| Plains Village 2: -194, 199 |
Tiny village near Zombie Village
If you think that starting the game with a blacksmith is cheating, then here’s a seed for hardcore survival enthusiasts. You’ll spawn in a tiny village with only a few huts that stands right next to a zombie village. There’s no blacksmith here to help you craft armor and weapons, so you’ll have to use torches and handcrafted weapons to scare the zombies away.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Tiny village: 3, 4 |
| Zombie Village: 110, -89 |
Structure-filled Taiga
If you never want to feel the lack of wood for construction, then spawn in this Taiga forest with two villages. I discovered a couple of Trail Ruins nearby, which should provide you with a few cool items. Also, be sure to check out the Ancient City under the mountain to the south.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Taiga Village 1: -10, 41 |
| Taiga Village 2: 37, -101 |
| Trail Ruins 1: -494, -177 |
| Trail Ruins 2: -419, 190 |
| Ancient City: 144, -45, 393 |
Mangrove Desert Villages
A Mangrove Swamp that appears in the desert biome is like an oasis. Here, I spawned in a Desert Village conveniently standing right next to a small patch of mangrove trees. After looking around, you’ll discover two more villagers around the same patch. This makes the whole seed much more rewarding, especially since the rest of the Desert has many other enticing structures.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Desert Village 1: 24, 73 |
| Desert Village 2: 26, -226 |
| Desert Village 3: -454, 137 |
Lakeside villages
This world begins on the shore of a small, lake-sized ocean. In the center of the lake you’ll find an Ocean Monument, a surprising sight! There will be a Taiga Village on the shore near Spawn and a Plains Village on one of the other sides of the lake. If you’re planning to take on the Ocean Monument, be sure to prepare smartly to take on its Guardians.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Taiga Village: -149, -221 |
| Plains Village: 2, -18 |
| Ocean Monument: -225, 81 |
Four corners
Sometimes Minecraft manages to generate symmetrically-positioned structures, although it’s extremely rare. Here, I spawned in the center of a perfect square, consisting of three villages and a Pillager Outpost that are separated by an equal number of blocks. This is a great spot for setting up a dedicated survival server, involving various types of gameplay and at least four different groups of players.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village 1: 10, 13 |
| Plains Village 2: -180, -106 |
| Plains Village 3: 172, -166 |
| Pillager Outpost: 5, -326 |
Two villages in the Jungle
Villages rarely spawn in such an exotic location as a Jungle. However, in this seed you get two villages with Trail Ruins near a Jungle biome. After exploring these three structures, I urge you to build a boat and check out a small Mushroom Island to the west that has two Ocean Monuments. This island could be another great spot for base-building.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Plains Village: 22, 48 |
| Savanna Village: 37, -91 |
| Trail Ruins: -164, 101 |

| Ocean Monument 1: -402, -242 |
| Ocean Monument 2: -672, -417 |
Snowy Village with igloo
The best sources of loot in Snowy biomes are typically igloos with basements. Fortunately, this seed starts you off in a Snowy Village containing one of these igloos! It blends in with the rest of the village, but you can easily tell its interior apart from the other igloos in the village. Unlike most other igloos with basements, this one has a slightly more hidden basement. You’ll need to break some of the dirt blocks on the floor to find it.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Snowy Village: -1, 10 |
| Igloo with basement: 35, 37 |
Two villages and a portal
There’s no better way to start a survival game in Minecraft than to spawn between two villages with an exposed ruined portal. Once you pass through the portal, you’ll spawn between a Nether Fortress and Bastion Housing Units. If you’re not ready to brave the Nether just yet, test your fighting prowess at the Pillager Outpost at the edge of the Savanna.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Savanna Village 1: 61, 57 |
| Savanna Village 2: 59, -140 |
| Ruined Nether portal: 92, 51 |
| Pillager Outpost: 519, 38 |
Blacksmith Village near Ice Spikes
As soon as I spawned on top of a hill, I immediately noticed a Plains Village with a blacksmith and a Snowy Village that stretched all the way into an Ice Spikes biome. I kept following the icy territory to the east and discovered that it had a Frozen Ocean I could walk on. When the ocean begins breaking apart into tall icebergs, you’ll be able to see a hidden Ocean Monument at the edge of the ocean’s surface.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Blacksmith Village: 30, 87 |
| Snowy Village: -119, 68 |
| Ocean Monument: -497, 175 |
Cure the Zombie Village
You can’t experience Minecraft in full if you’ve never dealt with an abandoned village full of zombies. Here, you spawn in an area that has both a normal village and a zombie village. You can make it the goal of your survival session to turn all zombie villagers into normal NPCs by feeding them golden apples. If you need help with that, check out the hidden chests in the nearby Desert Temple
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Savanna Village: 6, 22 |
| Zombie Village: -141, 38 |
| Desert Temple: 537, 107 |
Temples and villages
If you’re looking for easy loot, here’s a seed with two villages and two Desert Temples at Spawn. Each Desert Temple is found to the east of one of the Desert Villages. Note that as you travel south in this seed, you’ll begin entering new biomes with colder climates, like a Forest and a Cherry Grove. This is important for players who want to find new resources or who just don’t want to live in a Desert.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Desert Village 1: 40, -160 |
| Desert Village 2: 134, 92 |
| Desert Temple 1: 214, -151 |

Longest village
If you’re looking to start in a village, why not start in the biggest village you can? This one is absolutely massive, stretching in two directions from the canyon you spawn in. You won’t find a village with more resources to help you get started.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Longest village: 25, 1 |
Island settlement
With this seed, you can have your very own personal island with a small settlement on it. The island is large, so you won’t worry about running out of space. You’ll find a large cluster of Cold Ocean Ruins next to the beach on the southern tip of the island.

|---|
| Island settlement: -331, 306 |
| Large Cold Ocean Ruin cluster: -235, 374 |
Double Mountain Village
- Seed: 5212633
- Version: Java
- Spawn: -4, 8
- Biomes: Plains, Meadow
Would you rather live in the middle of a mountain or just at the foot of it? In this world, you can have both! This mountain formation is as safe as it can get and makes for some interesting builds. Build inside of the creator for extra security or craft a gravity-defting base on top of the mountain’s spiky peaks.
| Important Locations and their coordinates |
|---|
| Mountain crater village: 22, -140 |
| Mountainside village: 84, 87 |
