5 best Minecraft village seeds in January 2023

Villages are incredibly helpful in Minecraft. They offer the ability to trade for items and provide easy crops/materials to collect. However, randomized worlds can sometimes place players pretty far from villages.

Fortunately, by using a specific world seed in world creation, players can utilize worlds that have quick access to villages or those that offer plenty to visit.

Seeds vary on occasion, depending on whether they're used in Java or Bedrock Edition. Whatever the case may be, there is a virtually endless collection of world seeds for players to utilize to find villages quickly and easily.

As of January 2023, the Minecraft community has offered up even more great seeds to help players in their village hunt.

This Bedrock Edition seed might seem innocuous to most Minecraft players, but it features a particularly intriguing village a few hundred blocks from the spawn point.

Specifically, players can find a village at (X: 729, Z: 174) that is partially floating on the water. Even better, they will find an ocean ruin jutting up through the ground among the buildings. The villagers don't seem to mind, though. The open-ended nature of the waters beneath this village offers some pretty intriguing building possibilities.
