How to use it
- Type /seed in game and copy the number into the seed box (text seeds work too).
- Pick the Java version your world was created in.
- Enter your current X and Z to sort the villages by distance from you.
- Copy the /tp command, or open the spot on the seed map to see the biomes around it.
How it works
The finder recreates Minecraft's own structure placement from the seed in your browser, using the open-source cubiomes library compiled to WebAssembly. For each area where a village can start, it works out the exact start point, then checks the biome there the same way the game does. Plains, desert, savanna, taiga, snowy plains and meadow biomes. Villages try to spawn once in every 34 × 34 chunk area, at least 8 chunks apart. Nothing is uploaded: the seed stays on your device.
Questions
How do I find a village without the seed?
Explore the biomes where they spawn: plains, desert, savanna, taiga, snowy plains and meadow biomes. On servers where you can't use /seed, ask an admin, or look for a seed shown on the server's website.
Does this work on Bedrock Edition?
Not for structures. Bedrock shares Java's biome generation since 1.18, but it places structures with different rules, so these coordinates only match Java worlds.
Is using a finder cheating?
It reads the same information the game uses to build your world. In single player it's up to you; on servers, check the rules, because some ban seed tools.
What will I find in a village?
Villagers to trade with, beds, food, a bell, and a chest in the blacksmith, temple or other job sites.
Why is there no village where the finder says?
The finder checks the biome at the village's start point. On 1.18 and newer, very steep or flooded ground can stop a village from generating, and a few results can be missing for that reason. Check the spot in game with F3 coordinates.
