When players start a new world in Minecraft, they spawn in a randomly generated world. The spawn could be anywhere; it could be in a huge open field in the plains biome, in a village, or even inside the supremely rare mushroom biome. However, using “seeds” players can control which worlds they play in and what entities and structures they want to exist in that world. Seeds represent a string of numbers associated with a Minecraft world.

Rivers are some of the most common, useful, and naturally generated entities in Minecraft. They can be used to ride boats or simply to collect water or grow crops. Areas with rivers near them are ideal for building due to water being in close proximity. This article will list the best Minecraft seeds for rivers.

This unique Minecraft seed spawns players within an extensive Mesa biome with a bunch of rivers strewn across its surface. As Mesa biomes contain many different varieties of Terracota, players can build a base here and collect Terracotta for building or decoration.

The abundance of rivers in the immediate radius of the spawn can enable players to farm black ink as well, as it is dropped from squids, which can be found in the surrounding rivers.


4) Forest with surrounding river (Seed: 57275)

This fascinating seed spawns the player right beside a desert pyramid. Desert pyramid complexes play host to desert temples, which contain some of the most valuable loot in Minecraft. A river can be seen flowing adjacent to the desert pyramid, with a savanna biome right across the river. These factors make this seed a good choice for survival.
