Whenever a new Minecraft update comes out, such as 1.18, players use it as an opportunity to begin again on a new world. Starting fresh is always a fun experience, and sometimes, players want to start on a seed they know is flush with resources and points of interest. We’ve compiled a list of the best Minecraft 1.18 seeds to help you get started.
Everyone has different playstyles in Minecraft, which means everyone’s version of the best Minecraft 1.18 seeds will be different. We try to include a variety of seeds that will give all types of players some choices. You can find the list below.
Best Minecraft 1.18 Seeds
All of these Minecraft 1.18 seeds will work in both Java and Bedrock Editions. However, do note that some villages, mansions, and monuments may have different spawn points. Our noted locations will likely differ if you are on Bedrock Edition.
Plains and Peaks
In this seed, courtesy of abfielder, players begin in a forest surrounded by plains biome. There is a nearby village, as well as a village up to the right nearby some icy peaks in the distance. In the opposite direction, players can find a lake with some steep banks, which would make a good location for an overlooking house.
Below at (61, -25, -401), there’s a big dripstone cave you can explore.
