Best Minecraft 1.21 Desert Seeds (Bedrock and Java)

Whether you play Bedrock or Java, you can visit any of these gorgeous Minecraft Deserts. The structures may differ depending on your version, but coordinates are provided for both to jumpstart your gameplay.

Monster Temple

Seed: 9110089926306175665

This Desert Temple lies dormant beneath a cliff. Since the cliff has cast the temple into shadows, the structure is overrun with monsters. You'll need to defeat the lot of them to access the chests hidden inside of the temple. Bedrock players will not have this structure, but they will have their own unique Desert Temple buried inside of a hill. Only the edges peek out, making for an interesting sight.

Tall Temple

Seed: 6262412547925226943

This Desert Temple has fused with some of the Desert Village's homes. When you attempt to enter the home at the base of the Desert Temple, you'll come face to face with a sandstone wall instead. Bedrock players will also find a ruined portal a short walk away from the temple.

Badlands Mines

Seed: -8091146072207182153

Mineshafts in the Badlands often poke through the surface, giving players easy access to their riches. Java players will have immediate access to these mines and several caves along the mountain. Instead of the mines, Bedrock players will find a few ruined portals throughout the Badlands.

Two Blacksmith Desert

Seed: -9130463027772930069

This Desert comes stocked with two Blacksmith villagers for Java players. You'll also find a shipwreck near Spawn containing two chests filled with treasure. If you're a Bedrock player, you'll find a Desert Village and two Desert Temples in the Desert instead. Remember to explore the Coral Reef for hidden Warm Ocean Ruins, shipwrecks, and other ocean-floor oddities.

Flooded Lush Cave

Seed: 1646681668220896954

This Lush Cave is an oasis in the arid desert of this world. The overflowing water pools and spilling water falls give players easy access to every floor of the cave. They also ensure that you'll be able to find abundant Glow Squids during your trips into the cave. Java players will have a Desert Village while Bedrock players will have a Desert Temple with a Desert Village a little further off.

Buried Badlands Temple

Seed: 6966115695617791273

Both the Java and Bedrock variations of this seed have a Desert Temple that is at least somewhat buried in sand. Java players will find this Desert Temple near the Badlands biome. They can easily enter the temple through the hole in the top, making it an easy way to get fast treasure. Bedrock players will have a less buried temple closer to the lake than the Badlands biome. All players will find a ruined Nether Portal, but only Bedrock players will find a dark oak mineshaft near theirs.

Underground Temple Base

Seed: 2738229605918469861

If I didn't tell you there was a Desert Temple in this photo, you'd never believe it! By entering a small hole in the ground at the coordinates listed below, Java players will be able to enter a hidden Desert Temple. Take out the supporting pillars, remove the TNT, and light it up to convert it into a ready-made base. Bedrock players will not have this temple, but they will have a Savanna Village to benefit from.

Desert Gravel and Floating Temple

Seed: 6756301216350593400

A Desert Temple floats idly in the ocean in the Bedrock version of this Minecraft seed. Although Java players will not have the same temple or village, they can enjoy these gravel and Desert islands just like Bedrock enjoyers. As a bonus, the sea beyond these islands contains a Coral Reef filled with tropical fish.

From Savanna to Desert

Seed: -309097248138570481

Savanna Villages extend into an arid Desert, serving as a pop of color and life in the otherwise quiet Desert. The Java Village is located on a large ravine dropping deep into the earth. It allows players to easily access ores so long as they can fight off the strong underground mobs. In contrast, the Bedrock village is slightly above the ravine and extends into both the nearby Plains biome and the Desert.

Desert Temple Fort

Seed: 5674650128464260190

This Desert Temple has merged with the Windswept biome behind it. While it looks a bit like a melting sand castle, Bedrock players will find it makes for a great fort. The red sandstone blocks can be emphasized for a grand appearance or removed to hide it further. Java players won't have this structure, but they'll still be able to visit a temple further out in the Desert.

Coral Oasis

Seed: -2860892452307753223

This Desert Island is a small oasis floating atop a Coral Reef. The right edge of the island is a Jungle biome, giving players access to trees and vines. Players of both versions will find sunken ships in the area. However, Bedrock players will also find a small Warm Ocean Ruin poking out of the Coral Reef.

Double Desert Village

Seed: -4427446227039247623

Two Desert Villages have combined into one giant village in front of this Mangrove Swamp. Two of the houses already have cows and sheep penned while the villages combined have lots of cats and a single camel. Players will be able to breed these animals using the dozens of haybales around the village for an endless supply of resources.

Desert Raiders

Seed: -3248821171293420375

These Pillagers have claimed the Desert's peninsula as their home turf. Bedrock players will have the opportunity to take them out before exploring the Coral Reef. Java players will not have to deal with these raiders. Instead, they'll be able to mingle with a lively Desert Village.

Badlands Deepslate Drop

Seed: 8459776268029292334

Deepslate caverns are always a treat due to their fast access to diamonds and other precious minerals. Players entering this Desert world can walk right into one as soon as they start the game! All they'll need to do first is find a tree and gather its wood, saplings, and some dirt. From there, create an intricate mining operation complete with a tree farm in the Deepslate cave. You'll be drowning in riches in no time.

Coral Landscape

Seed: 2153534145173012559

A giant Coral Reef serves as the heart of this Desert. Bedrock players will find both a Desert Temple and a Desert Village along the coastline of the reef. They are both wonderful sights to see in contrast to the bright colors of the coral. Instead of these structures, Java players will have ruins and shipwrecks hidden inside the reef itself.

Mushroom Island in Desert Coral Sea

Seed: -8857095535009023648

This seed begins on the left side of a large Desert split in half by the sea. What makes this seed particularly special is the large Mushroom Island in the center of the sea between the two halves of the Desert. The majority of the water is filled with coral and tropical fish, filling the world with bright colors and abundant food resources. Bedrock players will start next to a ruined portal, but all players will have plenty of shipwrecks, villages, and Warm Ocean Ruins to explore.

Armadillo Mines

Seed: 6624961319209078489

These mines cut straight through a Badlands biome that serves as the home to several Armadillos. The mines have long since been abandoned, but the Armadillos still roam peacefully. This seed also has a Jungle to the right of the mines and a Lush Cave on the left side. Explore the cave, gather treasure from the mines, and befriend lots of Armadillos.
