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.

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.

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.

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 river bank with a cliffside village.

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.

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.

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!

• Biomes: Plains

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.

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.

• Version: Java

• Biomes: Desert, Mangrove Swamp

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.

• Biomes: Plains

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.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: 1, 6
• Biomes: Jungle, Savanna

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.

• Version: Java
• Spawn: -9, 8
• Biomes: Snowy Plains

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

• Seed: 3622285574119789673
• Version: Java

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.

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.

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
