Minecraft Biome Finder

Find any biome in your Minecraft world from its seed. Select a biome and the map lights it up — everything else fades to gray — while the finder pinpoints the nearest instances with exact coordinates you can copy straight into a /tp command. It runs the real world generation for every Java version from Beta 1.7 to the latest release, so results are faithful to the game — including underground biomes like the deep dark, which are searched at cave depth automatically.

How to use the biome finder

1. Enter your seed — type or paste it into the seed box and press Go. Text seeds work too; they convert to numbers exactly like the in-game seed field.
2. Match your version — pick the version your world was generated in. Biome layouts change between versions, and the biome list adjusts to what actually generates in each one.
3. Select a biome — use the filter box to find it fast. The map highlights the biome and the nearest instances appear in the panel, sorted by distance.
4. Jump to a result — click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy its coordinates or a ready-made teleport command. Panned somewhere new? Press Search this area to look around the current view.

Want the full picture instead of one biome? Open the same seed in the interactive seed map to explore every biome, structure and stronghold at once — or browse our hand-verified best seeds if you'd rather start from a world that already has what you want.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a specific biome in my Minecraft world?

Enter your world seed, pick your game version and dimension, then select the biome you're looking for. The map dims everything else so the biome stands out, and the finder lists the nearest instances with exact coordinates — click one to center the map there, then click the marker to copy the coordinates or a /tp command.

Can I find biomes in-game without a tool?

Partially. Java Edition 1.19+ has the /locate biome command (for example /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove), and 1.16–1.18.2 had /locatebiome — but both need cheats enabled and only return one nearby result. The finder works for every version back to Beta 1.7, needs no cheats, and shows you all the nearest instances at once on a map.

How far does the biome finder search?

Up to 10,000 blocks out from the search point, returning up to 10 separate instances sorted by distance. If the biome isn't found in that range, pan the map somewhere else and press “Search this area” — rare biomes like mushroom fields can be much farther out in some seeds.

Why can't I find cherry groves, deep dark or lush caves in my version?

The biome list matches what actually generates in the version you pick: lush caves and dripstone caves generate from 1.18, the deep dark from 1.19, cherry groves from 1.20 and the pale garden from 1.21.4. If a biome isn't in the list, it doesn't generate in that version.

Does the biome finder work for Bedrock Edition?

Yes, for Bedrock 1.16 and 1.17. Switch the edition toggle to Bedrock and the finder generates Bedrock worlds for those versions (Overworld and Nether), so the biomes match your Bedrock world instead of a Java one. From 1.18 on, Bedrock uses a biome system that hasn't been reverse-engineered anywhere, so the finder stays Java-only for newer versions. Java is supported all the way back to Beta 1.7.

Are the results accurate?

Yes — the finder runs the same world generation your game does, in your browser, for the exact version you select. Underground biomes are searched at cave depth automatically, so deep dark and lush caves results are just as reliable as surface biomes.
