Island biomes are one of the most appealing attractions for many different types of Minecraft players. Survival players use them for the calm and easily defendable introduction to any Minecraft world. Creative players often use them to develop themed scenarios and contraptions. They also provide a fun and peculiar setting for many Adventure-mode players. Whatever your reason, we’ve put together the list of the best Minecraft Island Seeds that you can use in your next Minecraft experience!

Best Minecraft 1.19 Island Seeds

These are the best Island Seeds we can find for the newest version of Minecraft! An important thing to mention is that structures generate differently on Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some the key locations for each seed will be different!

Dark Forest Island

Seed: 3173619876402734856

An not-so isolated island that screams “build a castle on me!” Surrounded by cliffs and valleys, you’ll find lots of wood, perfect access to caves and stone, and just a general plethora of supplies nearby. This isn’t exactly your desert island in the sea, but it’s a great location to start in Minecraft.

Lush Mountain Island

Seed: -5774183300065244295

This seed is ideal for players who like Lush Caves and cold biomes, but don’t want to give up one to have the other. It is rare to see a humid biome and a cold biome so close together, but this seed stacks them right on top of each other! On this seed’s survival island spawn, you start near an incredible mountain that provides incredible views. A short walk away (on the same island) is a beautiful exposed Lush Cave with axolotl pools and waterfalls!

Wooded Badlands vs. Jungle Island

Seed: 7850875

This seed gives you two multiple rare biomes right when you spawn into the world! You start your adventure on a moderately sized Jungle Island with a small (but tall) Wooded Badlands biome nearby. Surrounding the Wooded Badlands is a beautiful Coral Reef you can dive into. The Jungle Island has a peculiarly placed Nether Portal off its shored, and a couple of small exposed Lush Caves around its border!

Twin Village Island

Seed: 6647031575022142850

This is a wonderful starter island seed with easy access to resources from two villages and an exposed mineshaft right next to spawn. If you want protection from the elements (and mobs), but still want company from villagers in the game, you’ll want to start here. Although there isn’t a lot of biome diversity nearby, you’ll find the basic setup gives you the perfect opportunity to prepare yourself for an adventure. You don’t need to jump into the exposed mineshaft until you’re ready, so be sure t relax on this peaceful seed!

The Island Adventure

Seed: -2135836821937050197

This incredible island seed spawns you on an island that is over 3k blocks tall and about 1.5k blocks wide. On the island you will find dozens of biomes of varying types and plenty of helpful structures. It holds no less than 5 Villages and Ancient Cities and is surrounded by dozens of Ocean Monuments. In the middle of the island is a ring of mountains that encases a perfect spot to build a base.

Royalty Island

Seed: 350362654

Whether you’re a lone adventurer who wants to stake claim on an island built for royalty or you’re a social player and want a prestigious home for your crew, this is the perfect island seed. You spawn on a large island with several biomes. The only danger lurking on this island is a solitary Outpost that is overlooking a beautiful Meadow. Start The Wilds update right by staking claim of this mountain fit for royalty, and don’t forget the island’s starter Village on your way up!

Old Lush Island

Seed: -904660575148047233

This island doesn’t fit in with many of the other island seeds on this list because it spawns you in an Old Growth Spruce biome. This is rare enough, but what really draws us into this seed is the generation beneath the ground. The tall island is hollowed out, and resting inside is a beautiful Lush Cave. This cave also includes the naturally generated pool filled with Axolotls shown in the image above!

Ancient Isle

Seed: 931970827062634009

If you like a challenge and want to live on an isolated island that houses a deep and dark secret, then you want to start with this seed. You don’t spawn directly on the island, but a short boat ride will take you to a small island filled with hills and mountains. If you want resources before heading to your island home, you can explore the jungle at spawn and find three Jungle Temples within 500 blocks!

Biome War Island

Seed: 5890542

If you don’t have an overworld map, you might be surprised that this seed spawns you on an island. It is over 2,500 blocks in diameter, so you’ll be in for quite a hike if you want to go end to end. The real draw to this island is that it has most biomes on it and dozens of overworld structures. You’ll also find several Outposts and Villages sprawled throughout this massive island. We’re not sure what they’re fighting over, but maybe the five Ancient Cities under the island have something to do with it. We’ll leave you with a few key locations, but you’ll have to explore to find the rest!

Best Minecraft 1.18 Island Seeds

United Kingdom

Minecraft 1.18 is not the latest version, but many players who still use this version are on the hunt for the best Island seed. Below, you’ll find our favorite Island seeds that we added to the list when 1.18 was released!

Seed: -7096828587805744419

On this seed, you start on a large Plains island with three Villages, all in different spots on the island. While it’s, of course, not identical to the United Kingdom, it doesn’t take a huge stretch of imagination to draw the comparison! This is not only a great survival seed with plenty of resources and biomes nearby, but it provides you the opportunity to create some real-world roleplay!

  • Key Locations Village: 48 -208 Village: -176 80 Village: 64 144 Ocean Monument: -360 -392 Shipwreck: 248 104

Quaint Island

Seed: 11020382

  • Village: 48 -208 Village: -176 80 Village: 64 144 Ocean Monument: -360 -392 Shipwreck: 248 104

This seed represents the epitome of the phrase ‘basic survival island’. It is the optimum seed for the true Minecraft vanilla fan that isn’t searching for anything extravagant and simply wants a chill survival experience on a quaint island getaway. When you spawn on the island, you have access to plenty of trees and a small village, so you’ll have all the crops and wood necessary to establish your own community. This is also a great seed to use if you want to host a small survival server with a couple friends!
