Best Minecraft Village Seeds for Java 1.21+
12 seeds with a village, labelled for Java 1.21+ — copy one, or open it in the Seed Map to scout it first. 1 Bedrock seed is listed separately: the map follows Java generation, so it gets no map link.
Where a seed's write-up gives coordinates, we ran Minecraft's Java structure-placement algorithm for that seed and show how far the nearest placement candidate is from them. A candidate is where the game attempts a structure; it still needs a suitable biome to generate, so treat a match as a strong lead rather than a guarantee.
