Mojang released one of the most awaited Minecraft updates on June 8th. It brought many new features, changes, and three new mobs to the game, making players all across the globe excited to start their new survival world in the latest 1.17 version of the game.

Minecraft seeds are codes on which the world generation depends. They work specifically on the platform they are made for, so if a seed is for the Bedrock Edition, it won't generate the same world in the Java Edition.

Many players like to start their survival world using custom seeds. These can help them in the early phase of their survival journey by spawning them close to structures like villages to get useful items like iron, hay bales, and other resources to get a small headstart.
