10 best Minecraft 1.20 seeds for emeralds

Emeralds are an extremely rare ore in Minecraft that can be found between levels -16 to 320, with the most common being on level 232. Unlike other ores, these tend to generate as single blocks, hence, finding a naturally occurring emerald is deemed as a rare sighting. That said, emeralds can also be found in some chests that spawn in villages and are dropped by Evokers and Vindicators. They can also be traded for other items via a villager.

Emeralds are the currency of the overworld and therefore have a lot of value. This article will highlight 10 such seeds that you can use to acquire emeralds easily. The seeds work on both Java and Bedrock editions. Although the terrain generation might be similar, the structures may vary.
