What this seed map shows

Type or paste a world seed, pick the game version you play on, and the map draws the Overworld, Nether or End exactly as Minecraft Java Edition would generate it. Every biome is colored, and markers show where villages, strongholds, ancient cities, trial chambers, woodland mansions, ocean monuments, pillager outposts, nether fortresses, bastions, end cities and a dozen smaller structures will appear. Click any marker to get its X and Z coordinates, copy a /tp command, and jump straight to the wiki’s guide for that structure.

Everything is calculated inside your browser. Your seed is never sent to a server, and there is nothing to install. The map works with numeric seeds and with word seeds, which Minecraft turns into a number the same way this tool does.

How to use it

  1. Enter your seed. Paste the number from your world, or type any words. Leave it blank and press Random to explore a new world.
  2. Match the version. World generation changes between updates, so a seed that puts a village at spawn in 1.20 may not in 26.2. Pick the version you actually play.
  3. Choose a dimension and height. The Overworld view defaults to the surface. Switch to Caves or Deep to see lush caves, dripstone caves and the deep dark, which only exist underground.
  4. Turn layers on and off. Common structures like trial chambers and ruined portals appear once you zoom in, so the map stays readable at a distance.
  5. Find the nearest anything. The Find nearest box lists the closest villages, strongholds or any biome to your spawn point, with distances.
  6. Share it. Copy link saves the seed, version, position and layers in the URL so a friend sees the same view.

How to find your own world’s seed

In Java Edition, open the world and type /seed in chat. The number appears in the chat log and you can click it to copy. If cheats are off in a single-player world, open the world to LAN with cheats enabled, or look at the world’s level.dat with an NBT editor. On a multiplayer server you need operator permissions or the server’s server.properties file. For the full walkthrough, including Realms, read how seeds and world options work.

Java and Bedrock seeds are not the same

Java and Bedrock share biome generation since 1.18, but structure placement, spawn selection and the random number generator differ, and Bedrock seeds are 32-bit numbers. A Bedrock seed pasted here will show roughly the right terrain and the wrong structures. This tool is Java only and says so. Our Java vs Bedrock comparison covers the other differences.

How accurate is it?

Biomes and most structure positions come from the same generation math the game uses, so villages, strongholds, ancient cities, trial chambers, monuments, outposts, fortresses and bastions land where the map says. We checked the map against seeds with coordinates published by PCGamesN and Beebom for the current version and matched them to within a chunk. Three structures use a terrain estimate because the map does not build blocks: desert pyramids, jungle temples and woodland mansions can rarely be skipped by the game even when the map shows them. End cities are shown without an island check, so some markers sit over empty void. Spawn is a best estimate and is usually within a few chunks of where you actually appear.

Structure finders

Each finder opens the same map with one structure preselected and lists the nearest examples to spawn:
