Best Minecraft Seeds for 26.2 (October 2026)

Java 26.2 is the release this list is written for, and all ten seeds below are Java worlds, five on 26.2 and five on 26.1, with the version stated on every entry. The headline is a seed with 12 Ancient Cities in range, the first one 216 blocks from spawn. Right behind it is a coast with 59 ocean ruins, 44 shipwrecks, and an igloo 25 blocks from where you wake up.

1. Deep Dark at the Doorstep (`2048005618087379093`)

Spawn overview for seed 2048005618087379093

An Ancient City waits 216 blocks out at 0, 224, and eleven more follow it for a dozen in range. Cherry Grove petals start 91 blocks from spawn, so your first days are calm woodcutting and bees before the first Warden run. A village at 299 blocks and a Pillager Outpost at 272 round out the surface loop. Bring more wool than you think you need, because this is the deep-dark seed of the month.

Ancient Cities (12 nearby), closest at 0, 224 (216 blocks out)
