Minecraft Ocean Ruins Finder

Find the nearest ocean ruins in your Minecraft world from its seed. Each result is pinned on the biome map with exact coordinates — click one to jump there, copy the coordinates, or grab a ready-made /tp command. The map's ocean colors tell you whether a result is a warm (sandstone) or cold (stone) ruin before you get wet.

Since 1.20, ocean ruins matter far beyond their chest loot: warm-ruin suspicious sand is where sniffer eggs are found in world generation, and both kinds hide pottery sherds for the archaeology brush.

How to use the ocean ruin 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. Structure positions change between versions, so this matters.
  3. Read the results — the nearest ocean ruins appear in the panel, sorted by distance from the search point, each with exact coordinates.
  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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find ocean ruins from my seed?
Enter your world seed and the finder lists the nearest ocean ruins with exact coordinates, sorted by distance. Click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy the coordinates or a /tp command.
What's the difference between warm and cold ruins?
Warm ruins are sandstone and generate in warm and lukewarm oceans; cold ruins are stone and stone bricks and generate in normal, cold and frozen oceans. The biome map on this page shows the ocean temperature, so you can tell which kind each result is before you dive.
How do I get a sniffer egg?
Brush the suspicious sand found in warm ocean ruins — the only place sniffer eggs appear in world generation (after you've hatched two sniffers, breeding them makes more). Watch for the gravel-textured sand blocks among the sandstone, and brush carefully so the drop doesn't drift off into deep water.
What loot do ocean ruins have?
Each ruin cluster has a chest that can hold emeralds, golden apples, enchanted fishing rods and buried treasure maps. Since 1.20, the ruins also contain suspicious sand or gravel you can brush for pottery sherds, coal, emeralds and — in warm ruins — sniffer eggs.
Are ocean ruins dangerous?
Drowned spawn around ruins, and some naturally spawned ones carry tridents — the only way to get a trident in the game. Guard against their thrown tridents when you approach, or turn the spawning into a farm: ruins are a popular anchor for trident-farm builds.
Which versions have ocean ruins, and does Bedrock work?
Ocean ruins were added in Java 1.13 (Update Aquatic); suspicious-block archaeology arrived in 1.20. The finder supports Java Edition worldgen only — Bedrock worlds generate differently, so a Java result won't match a Bedrock world with the same seed.
