This seed spawns a player near three biomes, a savanna, a desert and a huge plains biome. The plains biome is fairly flat, and provides ample space for a massive castle to be built, which the two other biomes will provide a nice change in scenery from time to time.

The seed kicks off on an expansive island with an oak forest biome. The trees within the forest will have to be cleared for enough space to build a castle. However, players will find that once the trees have been cleared, the landscape is quite flat, and ideal for a castle build.

Additionally, the forest will provide a surplus of wood, which can be helpful in survival.

1) Desert temple and village at spawn (Seed: -7492801512473941435)

This fascinating seed spawns players near a desert village and a desert pyramid. While the desert temple gives a ton of loot, there's more to the seed. Two exposed spider spawners can be found side by side, right adjacent to the desert temple.

Additionally, a small, circular lake can be found a few blocks away from the village, the area around which can be perfect for a castle build.
