About the Igloo Finder
Igloos are small snow domes in snowy plains, snowy taiga, and snowy slopes. On the surface they’re a simple shelter with a bed and a furnace. About half of them hide a basement under the floor, with a brewing stand, a chest, and a caged villager and zombie villager. That makes igloos the easiest way to cure your first zombie villager. An igloo finder shows every igloo near you.
What you get on this page:
- Closest igloos first: the 12 nearest igloos to spawn or any X and Z
- Exact coordinates: find small domes in white snow
- Copy and go: a ready /tp command for each igloo
- Snowy biome view: see snowy plains and taiga on the seed map
How to Use the Igloo Finder
Step 1: Enter Your Seed
Type /seed in chat and paste the number.
Step 2: Pick Your Version
Igloos exist since 1.9. Choose Java and your version.
Step 3: Find Igloos
Leave Search from blank to search around spawn, or type any X and Z, then press Find igloos.
Step 4: Check for a Basement
Inside the igloo, break the carpet under the furnace area. If there’s a trapdoor with a ladder below, the igloo has a basement.

How to Find an Igloo Basement and Cure the Zombie Villager
- Find the trapdoor under the carpet and climb down the ladder.
- Take the splash potion of Weakness from the brewing stand.
