About This Guide
A good speedrun seed has three things close together: a village for food and beds, a ruined portal for a quick Nether entry, and a stronghold not too far from spawn. We searched thousands of random seeds with the same generation code the seed map uses and kept only the ones that hit all three.
What each seed has:
- A village within about 250 blocks of spawn
- A ruined portal within about 250 blocks of spawn
- The closest stronghold within about 2,000 blocks
These are set seeds, so use them for practice or set-seed categories, not random-seed runs.

How to Route a Speedrun Seed
- Grab food and beds in the village.
- Head to the ruined portal, finish the frame, and enter the Nether.
- Find a fortress for blaze rods and a bastion for pearl trades. The Nether fortress finder shows where they are.
- Return near the stronghold. Use the stronghold finder for its exact location, and divide by 8 to travel in the Nether.
How We Checked These Seeds
Each seed went through cubiomes, the open source world generation library behind our seed map, for Java 1.21.4. It found the world spawn, then checked villages, ruined portals, and the first stronghold ring. Ruined portals come in many variants, and some are partly buried or underwater, so scout the portal before you commit.
