Minecraft Seed Generator
Get a random Minecraft seed, turn a text seed into the number the game uses, or pick a verified Java seed with real coordinates for villages, cherry groves and more.
Random seed
Seed
For server.properties
Any whole number from -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 is a valid seed.
Random text seed
Make an easy to remember seed such as MossyCastle42.
Text seed converter
Number Minecraft uses (Java Edition)
Leave the seed empty and Minecraft picks a random world.
Use your seed on a server
Put the seed in level-seed and set the rest of your server with the server.properties generator.
Found a seed you like?
Start that world on a server of your own.
Set the seed when you create your server and play it with friends. Deploy a Java server in seconds.
How to use a Minecraft seed
On Java Edition, choose Create New World, open More World Options and paste the seed into the Seed box. On a server, put it in the level-seed line of server.properties before the world is first made. If the world already exists, the seed has no effect until you delete the old world folder. In game you can run /seed to see the seed of the world you are in.
Random seed versus text seed
A random seed is any whole number up to about 9.2 quintillion, either positive or negative, so there are more worlds than you could ever visit. A text seed is easier to share, such as MossyCastle42. Minecraft converts it to a number with Java's string hash, and the converter above shows exactly which number you will get. This was checked against a real server, including spaces, plus signs and numbers that are too big.
Verified seeds
The library has 77 Java seeds for 26.3, each picked for what is close to spawn: a village in sight, a cherry grove underfoot, a mushroom island or an ancient city within reach. Every one was run on a real server and checked with the game's own locate command, so the coordinates are what the game reported, not guesses. They were checked on 2026-11-05. Worlds can change in other versions, so use the same version when you want the same world.
Popular seeds, checked
37 of the seeds are ones that popular lists recommend, marked Popular. We took 60 seeds from those lists and ran each on a Java 26.3 server. Only the seeds whose headline feature really appears where the list says it does were kept, because seeds often change when the game updates. The coordinates shown are what our check found. Lists we drew from:
Playing your seed with friends
A seed is just a starting point. To explore it together, start a Minecraft server with that seed and invite your friends.

Minecraft Seed Generator FAQ
Can't find what you're looking for?
- ?
What is a Minecraft seed?
A seed is the number the game uses to build a world. The same seed on the same version always makes the same terrain, biomes and structures, so you can share a seed and everyone sees the same world.
- ?
How do I use a seed in Minecraft?
When you create a new Java world, open More World Options and paste the seed into the Seed box. On a server, set level-seed in server.properties before the world is first created. To read the seed of a world you already have, run the /seed command.
- ?
How do text seeds work?
If the seed is not a whole number, Minecraft turns the text into a number with Java's hash function. The same text always gives the same number, and the converter on this page shows it. Leading and trailing spaces are ignored.
- ?
Do seeds work on Bedrock and other versions?
Not reliably. World generation changes between versions, so the same seed can look different in an older or newer release, and Bedrock Edition generates different worlds from Java. The verified seeds here are for Java Edition 26.3.
- ?
How are the verified seeds checked?
Each seed was started on a vanilla Java server and checked with the game's own /locate command. The structure and biome coordinates you see are the ones the game reported. Structure coordinates can be off by up to a chunk.
