Seeds in Minecraft are a great way for players to predetermine exactly what their world will look like. Villages are an excellent resource to start.

Minecraft seeds are defined as strings of letters or numbers which determine what the world will generate. If two players on the same Minecraft version put the same letters or numbers in their seed generator, both will spawn in the same world.

Seeds are a great way for players to know what their world will look like before they start the game. There are millions of different seeds, and finding the perfect seed can be quite tricky.

The following is a compiled list of the best secret village seeds in Minecraft Java Edition version 1.16.

Facing west from spawn, players will stumble across an abandoned village only a few blocks away. Abandoned villages are not like normal villages. When villages are abandoned, it means that all of the villagers have moved out. Players can distinguish if a village is abandoned by looking to see if there are many cobwebs all over the buildings.

Despite this village being abandoned, players can still find chests, crops, and animals all around the village. Players may even find a few zombie villagers as well.

This seed spawns players directly on a secret island containing a large village. A ravine also runs directly through the village. This seed is an exceptional starter, as loot can be found throughout the village, and valuable resources can be mined directly from the ravine. There is also the beautiful blue ocean surrounding the island.

A shipwreck can be seen in the ocean, and a small land bridge can take players to the other, larger, side of the island.

Players may find chests scattered around the village, including a blacksmith, whose chest contains a near-full set of iron armor. This is a great seed for players to start with.

This seed might be one of the rarest a player can find. Not only is there a village island, but the village is on a mushroom island - one of the rarest biomes.

Players will spawn on a small island with an Ocean Monument right in view. Just a small swim facing north, players will come across this village island. Loot chests can be spotted throughout the village, and a deep cave full of iron ore is right nearby.
