Minecraft Seed Map: Your World's Biome Map

The Minecraft Seed Map lets you view your world's biome map without loading it. Enter a seed, choose an edition, version and dimension, find biomes and click to copy coordinates. Supports Java Edition 1.12, 1.16 and 1.18 through 1.21, and Bedrock Edition 1.18 through 1.21. Free, with no sign-up or download: the map is calculated in your browser, and your seed never leaves your device.

Pure geometry and algorithms, no Minecraft assets: world generation runs entirely in your browser (WebAssembly), and your seed never leaves your device. Based on the open-source library cubiomes (MIT license).

How it works

How to use the Minecraft Seed Map

Five steps from seed to biome, with no download or sign-up.

Step 1

Find your seed

In Java Edition, enter /seed in chat. In Bedrock Edition, find the seed in the world settings.

Step 2

Enter a seed and configure the world

Enter the seed as a number or text in the “Seed” field, then choose an edition (Java or Bedrock), version and dimension (Overworld, Nether or End). The Nether is only available for Java.

Step 3

Explore the biome map

Drag to move the map, and zoom with the plus and minus buttons or your mouse wheel. Use X, Z and “Jump” to center the map on specific coordinates.

Step 4

Click a point and copy its coordinates

Click a point on the map to see its biome and X/Z coordinates. Use “Copy coordinates” to copy them in X ~ Z format, for example for the /tp command.

Step 5

Find a specific biome

Select a biome under “Find nearest occurrence” and click “Search from current center”. The map jumps to the nearest occurrence within 6,000 blocks.

Features

What the Minecraft Seed Map shows you

Enter your seed, choose an edition, version, and dimension, and instantly see where each biome is in your world.

Biome map from your seed

The map calculates your world's biomes directly from the seed for the Overworld, Nether, and End. Drag to pan and use the plus and minus buttons or mouse wheel to zoom, from 1:256 to 1:1 in the Overworld.

Biome and coordinates on click

Click the map to see the biome and X/Z coordinates of a point. “Copy coordinates” copies them to your clipboard in X ~ Z format, ready for the /tp command.

Find biomes

Select a biome under “Find nearest occurrence.” The search starts at the current center of the map and jumps to the closest occurrence within 6,000 blocks.

Java and Bedrock

Java Edition 1.12, 1.16, and 1.18 through 1.21 with Overworld, Nether, and End. Bedrock Edition 1.18 through 1.21 with Overworld and End.

Numeric and text seeds

Enter your seed as a number or text. The tool converts text to a number the same way Minecraft Java does when creating a world.

Free and private

No sign-up or download: world generation runs as a WebAssembly module in your browser, and your seed never leaves your device.

Find biomes

To find a specific biome in-game, you can use either a command or a map generated from the seed. The Seed Map doesn't require cheats.

The in-game /locate biome command

/locate biome only works with cheats enabled or operator permissions and gives you the coordinates of the nearest occurrence. It doesn't show you an overview of the biomes around you.

The Minecraft Seed Map in your browser

The Seed Map only needs your seed. See all the biomes around a point on the map, use “Find nearest occurrence” to locate a specific biome, and copy its coordinates. Then travel there normally in-game, even in a Survival world without cheats.

Jump to rare biomes

These biomes are often far from spawn. Select them under “Find nearest occurrence”; the list uses English biome names. The search won't find biomes that don't exist in your selected version.

  • Mushroom Fields (listed as Mushroom Fields): found in the middle of the Ocean, often far from the nearest coast.
  • Ice Spikes: a rare variant of Snowy Plains.
  • Cherry Grove (listed as Cherry Grove): available from version 1.20, on mountain slopes.
  • Mangrove Swamp: available from version 1.19, in warm regions.

Java & Bedrock

Minecraft Seed Map for Java and Bedrock

World generation has changed between versions. Choose the edition and version your world was generated with.

EditionVersionsDimensions
Java Edition1.12, 1.16, 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21Overworld, Nether, and End
Bedrock Edition1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21Overworld and End (the End as a single biome)

Why is Bedrock only available from 1.18 and without the Nether?

Since the seed parity update in 1.18, Java and Bedrock generate the same biomes in the Overworld and End. The map therefore calculates Bedrock biomes the same way as Java biomes and uses Java's map colors, which may differ slightly from Bedrock's. The Nether is still generated differently in Bedrock, so it's only available here for Java. Older Bedrock versions predate seed parity.

If the map doesn't match your world

First check the seed, edition, version, and dimension. Areas generated in an older version retain their old terrain. The map can't show worlds with Mods or data packs that change world generation.

Tips

Tips for the Minecraft Seed Map

Getting started

  • Biome distribution depends only on the seed: the same seed always produces the same biome map for the same edition and version, without you having to load the world.
  • Find your world's seed with /seed in chat (Java) or on the world settings screen (Bedrock).
  • Choose the edition and version that match your world: world generation has changed several times between versions, so the wrong version will show the wrong map.
  • Choose a dimension (Overworld, Nether, or End) to see its biomes. Each dimension is generated separately.

Pro Tips

  • Use “Find nearest occurrence” to jump straight to the closest occurrence of a biome instead of searching the map by hand.
  • Rare biomes like Mushroom Fields or Ice Spikes are often thousands of blocks from spawn. The biome search saves you a long journey of exploration.
  • The “Visible Biomes” list shows every biome in the current map view, including rare biomes only a few pixels across.
  • Zoom out first to get your bearings, then zoom in once you've found coordinates you actually want to travel to.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about seeds, biomes, Java, Bedrock and supported versions.

A Minecraft Seed Map (also called a biome finder or seed viewer) is a biome map calculated directly from your world's seed. Enter your seed above, choose an edition, version and dimension, and the map shows where each biome is without you having to load or explore the world. Unlike the in-game map, which fills in as you explore, this one also shows areas you've never visited. It uses cubiomes, an open-source reimplementation of Minecraft world generation.

In Java Edition, enter /seed in chat; on servers, you need operator permissions to do so. In Bedrock Edition, the seed is in the world settings. On your own server, you can find it in server.properties under level-seed if it was entered there when the world was created. Enter the seed in the “Seed” field above. Text seeds work too: the tool uses numbers in the 64-bit range directly and converts any other text to a number the same way Minecraft Java does.

Yes. The /locate biome command only works in-game with cheats enabled or operator permissions. The Seed Map only needs your seed: select a biome under “Find nearest occurrence” and click “Search from current center”. The map jumps to the nearest occurrence and shows its coordinates. You can then travel there normally in-game, even in a Survival world without cheats.

Move the map to your starting point, or enter X and Z and click “Jump”. Then select a biome from the list under “Find nearest occurrence”. The list uses English biome names, such as Cherry Grove or Mushroom Fields. The search starts at the current map center and extends up to 6,000 blocks. If it finds nothing, move the map and search again. It can't find biomes that don't exist in your selected version, such as Cherry Grove before 1.20.

Yes, for Bedrock 1.18 through 1.21. Since the seed parity update in 1.18, Java and Bedrock generate the same biomes in the Overworld and End. The map therefore calculates Bedrock biomes the same way as Java biomes and uses Java's map colors, which may differ slightly from Bedrock's. It displays the End as Bedrock classifies it: a single biome. The tool doesn't offer the Nether for Bedrock because it is still generated differently. Older Bedrock versions predate seed parity and aren't supported.

Java Edition 1.12, 1.16, 1.18, 1.19, 1.20 and 1.21, and Bedrock Edition 1.18 through 1.21. World generation has changed between these versions, so select the version your world was created with. If the map doesn't match your world, check the seed, edition, version and dimension. Areas generated in an older version retain their old terrain, and the map doesn't account for Mods or datapacks that change world generation.

No, the Seed Map only shows biomes, not structures. Use the Stronghold Finder for strongholds and the End Portal, or the Slime Chunk Finder for slime chunks. You'll find both among the other Minecraft tools on this page.

Yes. The Seed Map is free and requires no sign-up. All calculations run directly in your browser as a WebAssembly module. Your seed is neither sent to a server nor stored.
