Minecraft is more than a decade old and has developed into a community-based game that gives players the freedom to create their own experiences. Speedrunning is one popular pastime in the game, but it has also launched several careers. It involves completing Minecraft in the least amount of time possible. Seeds are an important factor when considering speedrunning since time is of the essence.
With the seed parity now introduced in Minecraft, even an edition-specific seed can work for both Java and Bedrock. However, the structures that are generated will differ. Even within the Bedrock editions, the loot in the chests at various structures will vary depending on which platform you play.
With that in mind, here are 10 Minecraft seeds that can be fruitful for speedrunning.
