Few Minecraft biomes are as visually striking as ice spikes biomes. These biomes are one of the more uncommon ones that the game has to offer. This means that players who spend little time in the colder biomes might not even know they exist.

Ice spikes biomes are, as the name suggests, characterized by spikes of ice shooting upwards towards the sky. A great place to harvest ice to set up a Nether hub or make a formidable ice castle, these areas have a lot to offer players.

Here's a look at the top five seeds for ice spikes biomes in Minecraft: Java Edition 1.19.

1) Coastal Village Spawn

The seed for Coastal Village Spawn is: 1419663214864165179

  • Village: 112, 192
  • Village: -992, -448
  • Village: -208, 880
  • Ice Spikes Biome: -1200, 1200

This seed spawns Minecraft players in a plains biome with an ocean to the north. The real appeal of this seed, however, is the expanse of tundra biomes to the west of spawn.

There is a decent expanse of snowy area in this seed. Almost all of it is made up of snowy peaks, where players can get ample access to coal and emeralds. An ice spike biome makes up the southern portion of this area.

There is also a plains village near spawn, which should help players springboard into game progression.

The two directions that players can take to get to the ice spikes biome each have an additional village, meaning players should be able to loot both.
