5 best Minecraft 1.17 seeds for villages (2021)

Minecraft has many naturally generating structures, like villages, pillager outposts, and the rare jungle temple. Players sometimes come across these structures by chance and are well rewarded for the time spent exploring and searching for them. However, sometimes players want a quick start and a pre-generated place to call home. Seeds can help them there.

A village is a group of buildings that generates naturally in the Overworld. It is home to villagers, cats, iron golems, and passive livestock mobs. A village is a source of food and other resources to the player, obtained from trading, chests, and materials found there.
