Seed: 3959351028507189066

Iron Golems aren't enough to stop the Pillagers that are actively raiding this Plains Village. You'll need to visit the two surrounding Plains Villages to gather some basic supplies to take the Pillagers on. The Plains Village on the beach has plenty of food while the Blacksmith village further away has a few pieces of iron armor and an iron sword. Before cutting down the tower for good, climb to the Blacksmith's shop at the top of the raided village to gather a few more pieces of iron gear.

Since Trail Ruins were one of the newer structures added to Minecraft in version 1.20, this list wouldn't be complete without a seed dedicated to them. This world comes with two Trail Ruins in the starting biome for both Bedrock and Java players. Miraculously, the locations of the Bedrock and Java ruins are the same. Take advantage of them to gather all of the rare materials you can right at the start of the game.

A Lush Life awaits you in this Minecraft seed. The main room of the cavern is a large Lush Cave with plenty of glow berries, water, and mobs to fend off. If you travel along the left side of the cave, you'll see a large drop leading straight into a Deep Dark biome. Make a quick base in the Lush Cave, use the berries as an easily renewable food source, and make a path down to the Deep Dark for an early-game experience farm.

This Desert is an archaeologist's dream for Java players. A Desert Village found near a waterway has a ruined Nether Portal that can only be spotted due to the Netherrack permeating out from it. In the distance, players can see a Badlands hill with an abandoned mineshaft. There are two Cave Spider Spawners exposed on the sides of this hill.

The Blacksmith's chest contains a few iron tools and iron ingots, giving you everything you need to start exploring the cavern.

Mushroom Islands are safe sanctuaries in Minecraft because hostile mobs cannot spawn on their Mycelium. This Mushroom Island is only a short distance from the shore, making it a great place for beginner players to take shelter. Bedrock players can view the island from a nearby Savanna Village. The ocean around the area contains shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins for all players to discover.

If Java players explore the ocean, they'll find this Woodland Mansion anchored within a kelp forest. The base of the mansion extends down to the ocean floor. Creative players could remove this stone base and turn the Mansion itself into a luxurious houseboat.

The sandy beaches at the edges of the reef have a couple of lava pools that can be used to create obsidian. Both Bedrock and Java players will have a Desert Temple near the lake. Java players will also have a Warm Ocean Ruin in the lake and Bedrock players will have a village further off in the Desert.

Seed: 7363524667153983334

Woodland Mansions and Trail Ruins are two of the harder structures to find in Minecraft. Woodland Mansions are difficult to find because they only spawn in Dark or Roofed Forests while Trail Ruins are hard to spot if you don't know where to look. This seed provides guaranteed Mansion and Trail Ruins spawns for players who want to explore both structures.

Mangrove Swamps and Desert biomes are a combination on the same level as peanut butter and jelly. The Mangrove Swamp provides reliable wood and water while the Desert provides a variety of treasures.

With the Mooshrooms freezing, you'll need to travel to the island and come up with ways to keep them warm in this new environment!
