30 Best Minecraft Island Seeds for 1.20.4

Surviving on an island is just as challenging as in the desert biome, but here, you’re surrounded not by sand but by the ocean. If you’re up to the challenge, check out our list of the 30 best Minecraft island seeds for the 1.20.4 version.

Top 30 Best Island Seeds in Minecraft 1.20.4

Roofed Forest island

• Seed: -8204267983926585155
• Spawn: -48, 464
• Biomes: Beach, Roofed Forest, Stony Shore

Whether you want to survive strictly on your own or use structures for easy early-game treasures, you can use this seed. The Roofed Forest on the island gives you immediate access to wood while the Stony Shores makes gathering coal and iron much easier. If you do want a helping hand, visit one of the several chests scattered around the island. The treasures inside them will help you protect yourself and your land while exploring this grand new world.

Mushroom Fields haven

• Seed: 2884670462673115029
• Spawn: 395, 7
• Biomes: Desert, Lukewarm Ocean, Mushroom Fields, Savanna

No regular survival island can compare to a Mushroom Island. Monsters are unable to spawn on the Mycelium blocks covering the surface of Mushroom Islands, making it the safest biome to live in. This one is a four-hundred block sail due east from the continent this world begins on. Gather wood from the Savanna to build a boat for the journey and, as always, make sure to bring saplings with you! Growing new trees will be a lot easier than trying to scavenge wood from sunken ships.

Sprawling Taiga islands

• Seed: -5367440414882949827
• Spawn: -63, 61
• Biomes: Old Growth Pine Taiga, Old Growth Spruce Taiga, Taiga

This Taiga island is divided into three by a series of small rivers running through it. Bedrock players will find two buried treasure chests and a set of Trail Ruins near the starting portion of the island. In contrast, Java players will need to explore nearby ruins, shipwrecks, and an Ocean Monument for resources. They will have a ruined Nether portal underwater by the Ocean Monument. If the Monument contains a sponge room, you could potentially excavate the portal and head to the Nether from the bottom of the ocean.

A beginner’s Minecraft island

• Seed: 8963534326798747435
• Spawn: -70, -11
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains

The best way to start a survival game on an island is when it has a village with a blacksmith. Also, the island at spawn has a natural lava pool on the surface, which allows you to quickly craft a Nether portal. If you decide to explore the ocean around you, then take your boat to the west to find a small Mushroom Island.

Large Desert island

• Seed: -6303616037406465000
• Spawn: -57, 29
• Biomes: Ocean, Desert

Desert islands can be quite attractive for a survival game, especially when they’re this big. There’s a village on the largest island, a small lava pool on the middle island, and even a few trees scattered here and there. If you play this Minecraft seed in version 1.21, then you can descend into a Trial Chamber under the island.

Sizeable snowy island

• Seed: -8767294373057648590
• Spawn: -90, -20
• Biomes: Ocean, Snowy Plains

If you’d rather spend time trying to survive on a snowy island, then here’s a great opportunity. This island at spawn has a village, a patch of cold taiga, and a small lava pool, and it’s entirely surrounded by icebergs that often hide shipwrecks inside them. When you’re ready to travel to the south, you’ll uncover a Snowy Taiga with some neat Trail Ruins.

• Spawn: 52, 31
• Biomes: Ocean, Taiga, Forest

Not all islands are made up of barren land; some of them are chock full of resources, like this one. The island at Spawn in this seed has a nice Taiga Village with multiple farms. In the waters around the island, you’ll have access to multiple Small Cold Ocean Ruins as well as several shipwrecks.

Stony Plains island

• Seed: 664461965102187054
• Spawn: -15, 129
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains

If you think having too many trees on the island at spawn is cheating, here’s a more challenging seed for you. Although there’s a village here, it has no blacksmith or a lava pool nearby, so don’t expect to move too fast. You’ll be able to visit a few shipwrecks in the ocean for extra loot.

Spawn on a large survival island with a village with lots of farms. There’s a ravine on the island, a patch of forest, and a lava pool for easy obsidian block crafting. It’s an incredibly lucky spawn with plenty of resources and challenges for any survival game.

• Spawn: 96, -8
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

If you prefer smaller islands but still want a village and a blacksmith, this is a very good Minecraft seed.

• Biomes: Ocean, Plains

For all those Minecraft survivors who consider having a blacksmith and lots of wood at island spawn cheating, here’s a seed with the bare minimum. You get a small village, a couple of farms and trees, and a small patch of flat plains for building. The nearest mainland is hundreds of blocks away in all directions, so be prepared for some truly hardcore survival.

You can’t see it in the screenshot above, but there’s actually a huge mushroom island to the west of the island where you spawn. The nearest coastline can be found by sailing to the northwest; that’s where you’ll also find an Ocean Monument. Mushroom Islands are excellent for survival as no hostile mobs ever spawn there.

• Spawn: -121, -30
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

This seed has a large mainland village a short boat ride away from a small island with a much smaller Plains Village. The main village has six farms, giving you plenty of resources to start your survival world with. Explore the ocean around the island to find Ocean Ruins, Ocean Monuments, and shipwrecks.

• Seed: 5456451346675030342
• Spawn: 234, -57
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains, Forest

If you value being able to craft items early on, then this seed will fit your needs best. There are two villages near Spawn, with the village floating in the ocean having a Blacksmith. If you travel further southwest, you’ll also come across a Woodland Mansion off the coast of the ocean. Make sure to craft basic armor and weapons before heading inside.

• Spawn: 49, -74
• Biomes: Ocean, Plains

Anyone who wishes for a much more challenging adventure in survival mode should use this seed, which spawns you on a tiny island with a village and no blacksmith. You’d have to be really creative to survive in such conditions. However, since you have access to basic tools and some wood, you can build a boat and travel around in search of resources.

Shipwrecked island

It’s always nice to land on an island with a village and a shipwreck nearby. This island actually has two shipwrecks in close proximity, giving it its name. You can use the maps from these shipwrecks to discover hidden chests of buried treasure. There is one of these buried treasure chests on the island near the village, so keep your eye out for it.

• Seed: 307909456
• Spawn: -5, -10
• Biomes: Jagged Peaks, Plains.

A Jagged Peaks and Snowy Slopes mountain covers most of the island in this seed. It’s unique because the mountain itself is home to an Ancient City, which you won’t often find on an island. The surrounding waters have plenty of ocean ruins to explore if you’d prefer to stay above ground.

• Spawn: 20, 12
• Biomes: Forest, Ocean

You’ll find an Ocean Monument and an island village at spawn! While the island itself isn’t very big, its towering height makes it an anomaly in Minecraft.

• Biomes: Jungle, Plains, Ocean

Here’s an island village including a blacksmith and an Ocean Monument at Spawn! This Minecraft seed also includes a sparse Jungle biome blended with grasslands, giving it a rather unusual look. The Ocean Monument nearby is a good source of gold, and there’s a shipwreck with a treasure chest right next to it in the water.

Tiny island village survival

• Seed: 204052957135
• Spawn: -73, 63
• Biomes: Plains, Ocean

Here’s another island seed, albeit a harder one than the previous one on the list. This is because when you spawn here, you end up on a survival island with two villages. One of them will be a zombie village, which you won’t be able to explore in peace. However, I found a safe haven in the form of a Mushroom Island. Head there if things get too hectic on the main isle.

• Seed: -7311299807977185801
• Spawn: -78, 20
• Biomes: Various

The small island in this world holds a Plains Village. It faces a second village on the mainland to the north, making for a pretty sight. There are only 50 blocks between the two villages so a bridge connecting them would be easy to build.

• Spawn: -6, -10
• Biomes: Plains, Savanna

A double village island with an exposed ruined portal at spawn! This is yet another fortunate discovery that can greatly simplify your survival experience.
