How to use a seed map tool for Minecraft Tricky Trials seeds

1) Find a seed map tool

The first step is to decide which tool you want to use. There is no shortage of options out there, both in terms of websites and offline tools. The most commonly used website seed map is Chunkbase. This is the tool that the rest of this example will be using as well.

2) Set search parameters

Setting search parameters can mean different things, depending on the tool being used. For Chunkbase, this means choosing from Minecraft's many structures to highlight on the map, as well as different biomes.

Additionally, you can select if you are on the Bedrock or Java Edition of Tricky Trials. While these seeds might have the same terrain, structures generate entirely differently between the versions, owing to prior parity issues. Hence, setting the right version of the game is essential to getting great seeds.

Offline tools tend to have more targeted and powerful search options, such as being able to set exact percentages of biomes to look for near the spawn location.

However, the more powerful search options also come at the expense of slower searches, as your PC needs to generate the seeds and check the parameters itself rather than accessing a map of a generated seed via a website.

3) Search for several seeds

While tempting, it's not recommended to rush to start playing the game after getting the first decent seed. Take a few minutes to generate several potential amazing Minecraft seeds and copy them down. Then go through them at the end to determine the best one.

This should help ensure that in addition to interesting terrain, the seed you end up playing on has the best mixture of different biomes and Minecraft's best structures.

The final step to utilizing a seed generator is to launch the game and try the seed out. If you are using a Java Edition seed, you can choose between the official launcher and many other amazing alternate Minecraft launchers that are available. If you are using Bedrock, you are better off using the official launcher, due to a lack of good alternatives.

Once in-game, generate the world in Creative mode first. Take some time to teleport to a few different structures listed in the tool to make sure that everything is generating as expected. If you are satisfied, re-generate the world in Survival mode and dive into all the new content that Minecraft Tricky Trials has to offer.
