5 best Minecraft seeds for diamonds in May 2022

Diamonds are one of the best materials in Minecraft, which is exactly why they can be so challenging for players to find.

In addition to knowing which layers diamonds generate in Minecraft 1.18, players can also create worlds by using specific world seeds to gain access to diamonds. Often, these seeds either directly lead to diamond ore buried underground or even provide loot chests in villages where players can pluck diamonds from blacksmiths.

No matter how players get their diamonds, there are certain seeds to consider when diamond hunting in Minecraft 1.18.2.

This particular seed may not seem like much to start with, but it has a nicely kept secret not too far from spawn. Minecraft players begin on the coastline of a plains biome with plenty of water nearby and a ruined Nether portal at approximately (X: 88, Z: 8).

Once players start digging, they can find the treasure of this seed's early offerings. A few hundred blocks from the spawn, players can find a diamond batch of approximately 17 diamonds at (X:-59, Y:-13, Z:-107). That's good enough for quite a few pieces of diamond gear, getting players started nicely.

Spawning Minecraft players in a plains/forest area, heading north can lead to plenty of riches.

A village rests incredibly close to a Nether portal at (X:232, Z:-328), but the diamonds available to players are the real prize here. Under players' spawn at (X:2312, Y:13, Z:5), a batch of eight diamonds can be found. It's also possible to find additional diamonds at (X:2347, Y:12, Z:5). A ravine also rests at (X:1962, Y:12, Z:-480), which can lead to more diamonds.

If all else fails, try taking a look at the chest by the ruined Nether portal, it may have a few diamonds on its own, depending on how the loot is rolled. However, keep in mind that this seed has been tested for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition and may not be compatible with Minecraft: Java Edition.

In the event those aren't panning out due to seed generation, there is a litany of ravines that players can spelunk to find diamonds at locations such as (X-176, Y:54, Z:-287), (X:-9, Y:11, Z:-264), and (X:316, Y:56, Z:-425) to name a few.
