Island biomes have lots of versatility, making them one of the best biomes in Minecraft. Islands can be used as an easily defendable home base for survival players, the site of a creative player’s tropical-themed builds, or even as the start of an adventure-mode story.
Whatever your reason, I’ve put together a list of the best Minecraft Island Seeds that you can use in your next Minecraft experience!
Best Minecraft Island Seeds List (Java and Bedrock)
These are the best Island Seeds I can find for the newest version of Minecraft. It’s important to mention that structures generate differently on Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some of the key structures for each seed will be different.
Coral Sands
Seed: 4910894592491893075
These sandy islands are fantastic for both Java and Bedrock players. They’re surrounded by a giant Coral Reef with small Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks hidden beneath the coral. Java players have the added bonus of a Desert Village on the larger island. If you tire of these islands, travel north to arrive at a Desert or east to find a Mushroom Island.

|---|---|
| Coral Sands: Spawn | Coral Sands: Spawn |
| Desert Village: -502, -220 | Small Warm Ocean Ruin: -276, -244 |
| Shipwreck: -604, -178 | Shipwreck: 20, -133 |
Ombre Island
Seed: 45231019457969252
This island has a unique configuration of Savanna, Plains, and Beach biomes that turns its surface into a gradient. It’s a beautiful feature that both Bedrock and Java players can enjoy freely. Likewise, all players will find to a Mushroom Island to the southwest. The major difference between the two versions is that Bedrock players will have a Savanna Village on the island while Java players will not.

| Ombre Island: Spawn | Ombre Island: Spawn |
| Mushroom Island: 8, -84 | Mushroom Island: 8, -84 |
| Savanna Village: 577, -300 | Large Warm Ocean Ruin Cluster: 984, -472 |
Pillager Ranch
Seed: 8359615647292928787
I’ve never seen so many mobs gather around a Pillager Outpost! This may occur due to the limited space for mobs to spawn, but everything from Pillagers to horses and sea turtles are found on this tiny island. Take over the Outpost and convert the island into your personal ranch to raise all sorts of animals. The prevalence of mobs at the start guarantees you’ll be able to gather them with little effort.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Pillager Ranch: -760, 58, 8 | Buried Treasure: -760, 58, 8 |
Multi-Biome Cluster
Seed: -5140017210236258587
This cluster of islands is large and full of diversity. The islands start as Plains and Stony shores, then transition into Forest, Taiga, and Snowy Plains biomes. There’s even a tiny, one-tree Cherry Grove biome on the island next to spawn. Java players will find a Taiga Village, a ruined portal, and two Trail Ruins. Bedrock players have better structure luck with a Pillager Outpost, three villages, and two Trail Ruins.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Single Cherry Tree: -45, 539 | Plains Village: 170, 249 |
| Taiga Village: -181, 870 | Pillager Outpost: 73, 343 |
| Ruined Portal: 262, 634 | Taiga Village: -395, 676 |
Adrift in the Frozen Ocean
Seed: -3845070505970885974
If ice is your thing, these snowy islands won’t disappoint. Spawn is set on the largest island of the three. It is mainly a Snowy Plains biome with enough trees scattered around to get you started off right in survival mode. Java players will have a shipwreck and a Snowy Village to explore while Bedrock players will have to take to the seas to find treasure.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Snowy Islands: Spawn | Snowy Islands: Spawn |
| Shipwreck: 267, -193 | Underwater Ruined Portal: 388, 109 |
| Snowy Village: 155, 150 | Trail Ruins: 802, 45 |
Mushrooms Across the Sea
Seed: 722664058627353259
As soon as you set foot in this Minecraft world, you’ll see a Mushroom Island floating nearby. It’s close enough that you can step on its Mycelium shores on the first day in your new world. This gives you the freedom to live on an island while exploring the main continent whenever you miss the larger world.

|---|---|
| Mushroom Island: 100, 500 | Mushroom Island: 100, 500 |
Flat Multi-Biome Island
Seed: -1253828470404393557
This world proves that a Minecraft island doesn’t have to be one-note. Players wandering this lone island will find Beach, Plains, Savanna, Forest, and Jungle biomes to explore. Additionally, the ocean around the island contains Cold Ocean Ruins to the west and Warm Ocean Ruins to the east.

Wild Island Paradise
Seed: -1063190334095124429
This island is large enough to feel like its own mini continent. With its size comes a wide variety of biomes and structures to explore. The most notable of these is the Windswept biome toward the center of the island, which forms a series of caverns and coves to live in and adventure through. I highly recommend using this seed with friends as the island could easily be divided up into large sections for each player to use as they please.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Island: Spawn | Island: Spawn |
| Windswept biome: 343, -314 | Windswept biome: 343, -314 |
| Plains Village: 334, 278 | Shipwreck: 157, 10 |
| Underwater Ruined Portal: 86, 219 | Small Cold Ocean Ruin: 170, 372 |
Coral Desert Oasis
Seed: -4233445280788269201
A Desert island in the center of a Coral Reef is the perfect starting point if you love bright colors and tropical fish and want to make the most of what you’ve got. A small Windswept Savanna biome on the corner of the island gives you easy access to Savanna wood, so use it carefully and make sure to gather the saplings to plant more. Java players will have two Savanna Villages on this island to explore. In contrast, Bedrock players will find a Desert Temple on the island and a Pillager Outpost guarding a Desert Village on the nearby mainland.

| Desert Coral Oasis: Spawn | Desert Coral Oasis: Spawn |
| Desert Village 1: 48, -405 | Desert Temple: -132, -420 |

Armadillo Islet
Seed: -7030903136374644896
Armadillos are one of the cutest mobs available in Minecraft. This island gives you an up-close-and-personal look at them right from the start of your world. It also provides savanna trees for wood and pigs to use as food. A large continent lies near the island, allowing you to roam around and gather new resources easily.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Armadillo Islet: Spawn | Armadillo Islet: Spawn |

Gravel Spire
Seed: 1591659046916903336
If you love a good challenge, I recommend trying out this gravel island seed. The island you begin on has no trees, leaving you to gather wood from the few shipwrecks in the area. The fun truly begins once you’ve obtained some wood and gathered the island’s resources. You can stay on the island and build off it, sail the ocean, or venture to the nearby continent and attempt to climb its sheer cliffs. You’re guaranteed to have an exciting adventure with whatever you choose to do.

Many Islands
Seed: -6132232349187658510
Minecraft islands come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, and biomes. The diversity can make it pretty hard to decide exactly which island and seed you want to play on. This seed takes away the hard decision of deciding by offering players the opportunity to explore a variety of islands. Players begin on a snowy island with spruce trees. The western side of the world has icebergs, a large Frozen Ocean, and even an Ice Spikes island. Players who go east will find islands with warmer biomes, including a Mushroom Island.

Island Hopping
Seed: -8796940901252363942
If you want to live on an island, why stop at just one? This seed gives you three islands right next to each other. Each has plenty of room to make a comfortable base, or you can connect all three to craft one large intricate base. Java players will have a village on the furthest island while Bedrock gamers need to look to the ocean for structures.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |

| Set of Islands: Spawn | Set of Islands: Spawn |
| Plains Village: -180, -173 | Ocean Monument: -232, 152 |

Taiga Cliffs
Seed: 5146198914570041001
This towering Taiga cliff island is truly a sight to behold. Spawn is set on top of it overlooking the Cold Ocean and everything it contains. Players will need to gather the resources on top of the island before venturing into the icy waters. If you dive straight into the ocean first, you’ll have a hard time getting on top of the island again.

| Taiga Cliffs: Spawn | Taiga Cliffs: Spawn |
| Stony Shores Forest: 711, 74 | Stony Shores Forest: 711, 74 |

Multi-Biome Islands
Seed: 7117325896173392470
Patches of Coral Reef brighten up the Warm Ocean surrounding these colorful multi-biome islands. Players start their island adventure on a cozy Plains Island. From there, they can head to a Savanna island, a small forest, or even a Desert and Badlands island. It’s a great way to explore a variety of biomes while living life on the seas.

Small Swampy Cove
Seed: 7296547170959004786
Spawn is set in a small, swamp-filled cove in this Minecraft seed. Java players will find a ruined portal on the island as well as an exposed segment of Cold Ocean Ruins a short swim away. Bedrock players will only have underwater structures, including a shipwreck and a cluster of Cold Ocean Ruins. The island itself is small but close to the mainland’s shore.
| Key Java Locations | Key Bedrock Locations |
|---|---|
| Swamp Cove: Spawn | Swamp Cove: Spawn |
| Ruined Portal: 291, 163 | Large Cold Ocean Ruin Cluster: 72, 168 |

Mini Mountain Islet
Seed: 1711657142749782795
This island is great for those who don’t want to choose between warm and cold climates. The island itself is very hilly and covered in grass and flowers. There is a large underwater hole next to it as well as a shipwreck in the nearby kelp forest. A short swim away is a Frozen Ocean complete with a shipwreck stuck in an iceberg. Walk across it to find snowy beaches and plenty of spruce trees to use for wood.
