How to find and use Minecraft seeds

When you create a new Minecraft world, the game generates a completely random and unique world by progressively creating biomes that join with one another based on certain conditions set in the game's code. Along with creating the world, a special number that ties in with that particular world is generated; this number is called a seed.

If this number is fed to the game prior to creating a world, the same world from which the seed originated will be created. In the past 15 years, many players have found special seeds that can be used to spawn near unique locations or valuable structures. These seeds can be found online and fed to Minecraft to create that exact world.

Here's is a short guide on how to find and use Minecraft seeds.

After getting your desired seed, you can normally open the game to use it. Seeds must be fed to the game while creating a new world. For those unaware, once a world is created, its seed and layout simply cannot be changed.

While creating a new world, head over to the "World" tab and look for the "Seed for the world generator" section. In the box, copy-paste the seed code you found, which can be numbers, letters, or alphanumeric.

Once the seed is fed, simply create a new world. Once you spawn in the world, you will notice that you have spawned in the same biome as shown in a seed map tool or mentioned on the web. If you are trying to find the structure provided in the seed, check back on the seed map tool and search for the desired structure.
