How to use the seed map
- Find your seed: type
/seedin the chat (singleplayer with cheats, or as an operator on a server). The number in square brackets is your seed. When you create a world, you find it under “More World Options”. - Enter the seed above and pick the version your world was created in.
- Drag the map to move it and zoom with the mouse wheel or two fingers. Click a symbol to see its coordinates and copy a teleport command.
What the map shows
Biomes in the Overworld, the Nether and the End, plus villages, temples, ocean monuments, woodland mansions, ancient cities, trial chambers, strongholds, Nether fortresses, bastion remnants, End cities, slime chunks and the world spawn. From version 1.18, the height slider also reveals cave biomes such as lush caves and the deep dark. Already up to date with 26.3: dappled forests, sulfur caves and abandoned camps.
How accurate is it?
The map follows the same rules as the game (using the open-source library cubiomes). Biomes match the game. Whether a structure really generates sometimes also depends on the terrain – desert pyramids, jungle temples and woodland mansions can be missing on steep slopes. Strongholds and slime chunks are exact; the world spawn can be off by a few blocks.
Handy features
- Find: search for the nearest village, ancient city or any biome from the centre of the map – with distance and direction.
- Highlight a biome: one biome lights up, everything else turns grey. Spot mushroom islands, cherry groves or the new dappled forest at a glance.
- Elytra finder: End cities with an End ship get their own symbol; a click shows where the ship is.
- Details: village style, zombie villages, igloos with basements, bastion types and giant ruined portals.
- Markers and ruler: save your own places and measure distances, also converted to the Nether.
- Seed ideas: ready-made seeds for 26.3, for example with a village right at spawn.
Does it work for Bedrock?
Since 1.18, Java and Bedrock generate largely the same terrain and biomes from the same seed. Structures are placed differently in Bedrock, so the symbols only apply to Java.
