About these 1.16 seeds

Each seed on this page has a village within 250 blocks of the actual spawn point and at least two villages within 500 blocks. That's beds, a food supply, trades and chest loot before your first night, with a second village close enough for early villager logistics.

1.16 (the Nether Update) is the classic modded Minecraft version — an enormous number of packs still pin 1.16.5. It's also the version that added ruined portals to the overworld. This is old-style worldgen: the pre-1.18 terrain with world height 0–255, so seeds from newer lists don't transfer. Every seed below was verified on 1.16.2 – 1.16.5 generation itself.

Verified for Java Edition 1.16.2 – 1.16.5 (Nether Update) — 1.16.5 is the classic modpack version these lists are for.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from the main village seeds page?
Same criteria, different worldgen: these are separate seeds found and verified on 1.16's generation. Our main village seeds list is verified on the current version, and seeds don't transfer exactly between the two.
Which releases do these seeds work on?
Verified on 1.16.2 – 1.16.5, which covers 1.16.5 modpacks. Don't use them on 1.17 or newer — the 1.18 terrain overhaul (and 1.17's transition) means the same seed generates a different world there.
Do these seeds work on Bedrock Edition?
No — Java and Bedrock generate different worlds from the same seed. These lists are Java Edition only.
