Island biomes are one of the most attractive attractions for many different types of Minecraft players. Survival gamers use them for the quiet and easily defendable introduction to any Minecraft world. Creative players often use them to develop thematic settings and gadgets. They also provide a fun and quirky setting for many Adventure mode players. Whatever the reason, we’ve put together the list of the best Minecraft Island Seeds that you can use in your next Minecraft experience!
Best Minecraft Island Seeds 1.19
These are the best Island Seeds we can find for the latest version of Minecraft! One important thing to mention is that structures are generated differently in Java and Bedrock. Because of this, some key locations for each seed will be different!
Dark Forest Island
Seed: 3173619876402734856
A not so isolated island that screams “build a castle on me!” Surrounded by cliffs and valleys, you’ll find plenty of wood, perfect access to caves and stone, and a general plethora of supplies nearby. This isn’t exactly your deserted island in the sea, but it’s a great place to start in Minecraft.

lush mountain island
Seed: -5774183300065244295
This seed is ideal for players who like lush caves and cool biomes, but don’t want to give up one for the other. It’s rare to see a wet biome and a cold biome so close together, but this seed stacks them on top of each other! In this seed’s survival island spawn, you start off near an amazing mountain that offers incredible views. A short walk away (on the same island) is a beautiful exposed lush cave with axolotl pools and waterfalls!

Wooded Wastes vs Jungle Island
Seed: 7850875
This seed gives you two multiple rare biomes right when you spawn in the world! You start your adventure on a moderately sized Jungle Island with a small (but tall) Wooded Badlands biome nearby. Surrounding the Wooded Badlands is a beautiful coral reef that you can dive into. Jungle Island has a peculiarly located Nether Portal off its shoreline, and a couple of lush little caves exposed around its edge.

twin village island
Seed: 6647031575022142850
This is a wonderful starting island seed with easy access to resources from two villages and an exposed mineshaft right next to the spawn. If you want protection from the elements (and mobs), but still want the company of in-game villagers, you’ll want to start here. Although there isn’t a lot of biome diversity nearby, you’ll find that the basic setting gives you the perfect opportunity to gear up for an adventure. You don’t need to jump into the exposed pit until you’re ready, so be sure to relax in this peaceful seed!

lush old island
Seed: -904660575148047233
This island doesn’t fit in with many of the other island seeds on this list because it spawns you in an old growth spruce biome. This is quite rare, but what really draws us to this seed is the generation below ground. The high island is hollowed out and resting inside is a beautiful lush cave. This cave also includes the naturally generated pool filled with axolotls pictured above!

ancient island
Seed: 931970827062634009
If you like a challenge and want to live on an isolated island that harbors a deep, dark secret, then you want to start with this seed. You don’t spawn directly on the island, but a short boat ride will take you to a small island full of hills and mountains. If you want resources before heading to your home island, you can explore the jungle in spawn and find three jungle temples within 500 blocks!

biome war island
Seed: 5890542
If you don’t have a map of the outside world, you may be surprised that this seed spawns you on an island. It’s over 2,500 blocks in diameter, so you’ll have to do quite a bit of walking if you want to get from one end to the other. The real draw to this island is that it has the most biomes and dozens of structures from the outside world. You will also find various outposts and towns scattered across this huge island. We’re not sure why they’re fighting, but maybe the five The ancient cities under the island have something to do with it. We’ll leave you with some key locations, but you’ll have to explore to find the rest!

This seed epitomizes the phrase ‘basic survival island’. It’s the optimal seed for the true Minecraft fan who isn’t looking for anything fancy and just wants a relaxing survival experience on a quaint island getaway.
