How to Find the Best Minecraft Seeds

Minecraft is an amazing game, capable of many interesting worlds. The random seed determines how your worlds are generated and by using tried and tested seeds can help you achieve the kind of experience you're looking for.

Different seeds can provide vastly different experiences ranging from hill size, water coverage, ore placement, lava, and other game play elements like dungeons.

What is a seed?

A seed is a number or phrase used by the world generation algorithm to generate terrain, dungeons, water placement, mountain height, and other features. By using the same seed you can use the same world using different computers.
