About these 1.18 seeds

These aren't "island-ish" seeds: for each one, the spawn point sits on land with ocean covering at least 80% of everything within 400 blocks. The percentage on each card is measured, so you know exactly how isolated the start is.

1.18 (Caves & Cliffs Part II) rewrote terrain generation completely: world height stretched to Y −64…319, six new mountain biomes, and cave systems bigger than anything before it. It's also where modern seeds begin — a 1.17 seed generates a totally different world — and 1.18.2 is still a heavily-played modpack version. Every seed below was verified on 1.18 generation itself.

Verified for Java Edition 1.18 (Caves & Cliffs Part II). Biomes, terrain and structure locations are identical across 1.18 – 1.18.2, so 1.18.2 modpack worlds match these maps.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the main island seeds page?
Same criteria, different worldgen: these are separate seeds found and verified on 1.18's generation. Our main island seeds list is verified on the current version, and seeds don't transfer exactly between the two.
Which releases do these seeds work on?
The whole 1.18 line — 1.18 through 1.18.2, including 1.18.2 modpacks: biomes, terrain and structure positions are identical across the patches (1.18.2 only fixed cosmetic generation bugs like underwater snow patches). Later versions keep the same terrain engine but add structures and tweak placements (1.19's ancient cities, 1.20's trail ruins), so verify on our newer lists if you're playing past 1.18.
Do these seeds work on Bedrock Edition?
No — Java and Bedrock generate different worlds from the same seed. These lists are Java Edition only.
