If you’re looking for a particularly good seed for a survival world, it’s best to have a look online. The Minecraft community has created numerous rankings that identify and explain the best seeds. On the MCSeeder page you can see how the structure of the different seeds looks like. Perfect if you want to have your spawn in a certain biome.

You can easily find out the seed of the world you are playing in by using the command “/seed”. This will show you the current seed. It is especially exciting if you enter this seed on the Minecraft Maps website. This will generate a seed map that shows you all the highlights and biomes of your current seed. Of course, this detracts from the fun of exploring, but it helps immensely when you’re in a hurry to find the some diamonds or netherite.

Sometimes anomalies occur in your world. For example, you find blocks and structures in unusual places. This is rarely due to the seed, but is a bug in the chunk loading. Knowing how to reload chunks in Minecraft is a big help here. After a chunk reload, anomalies are fixed.
