10 best survival seeds for Minecraft Java and Bedrock Edition (2022)

Minecraft 1.19 added many interesting new features, such as mangrove swamps, mud, mangrove trees, frogs, frog lights, tadpoles, frog spawn, the allay, ancient cities, and the infamous warden. These are all things that players will more than likely not want access to in their survival worlds.

While players can travel to new areas of their old worlds to force new terrain and structure generation, a quicker way to access new features is to make a new survival world.
