10 Awesome Minecraft Speedrun Seeds to Beat the Game Fast

Want to crush Minecraft as fast as possible? You're in luck! Minecraft has a dedicated community of speedrunners constantly pushing the limits of how fast the game can be beaten. To get you started, here's a list of some of the best Minecraft seeds for speedrunning — each one picked to give you a head start in both the Overworld and the Nether. We're talking Ruined Portals, strongholds, desert temples, shipwrecks, and more right near spawn. Let's get into it!

The Best Minecraft Speedrun Seeds

1. The 12-Eyed End Portal Seed

If you only try one speedrun seed, make it this one. Finding an End Portal with more than a few Eyes of Ender already in place is incredibly rare. This seed spawns you near a fully pre-filled 12-eyed End Portal, which means you can skip the Nether entirely. Just grab some weapons and beds from a nearby village to blow up the Ender Dragon and you're done.

There's also a Ruined Portal and a village close to spawn. The End Portal is less than 1000 blocks from the village. With good execution, you can finish this seed in around 5–6 minutes. The current world record sits at around 9 minutes.

  • Seed Code: 9009198391873876587
  • Spawn Biome: Jungle
  • End Portal: X: 723, Y: 64, Z: 1149
  • Nearest Village: X: 168, Y: 67, Z: 312
  • Ruined Portal: X: 136, Y: 69, Z: 168
  • Trial Chamber: X: 75, Y: -21, Z: -331

2. The Village Island Seed

Villages are invaluable in any speedrun, and this seed gives you three of them plus a shipwreck right at spawn on an island. Skip the treasure map during a run — instead, trade with the villagers for resources. When you're ready to move on, head underwater to find a Ruined Portal that just needs a bit of obsidian to activate. The nearest stronghold sits at the edge of a forest and badlands biome on the closest landmass.

  • Seed Code: -4060839488929676108
  • Spawn Biome: Plains
  • Shipwreck: X: -108, Y: 65, Z: -121
  • Ruined Portal: X: 24, Y: 43, Z: -264
  • Ocean Monument: X: 2312, Y: 34, Z: 1704
  • Mushroom Island: X: 2660, Y: 58, Z: 2291

3. The 2-Minute Seed

That's not a typo — this seed can potentially be beaten in 2–3 minutes. Like the 12-eyed seed, it features a fully pre-filled 12-eyed End Portal only about a thousand blocks from your starting village. If you prefer a more traditional run through the Nether, there's a Ruined Portal right next to the village, and the blacksmith's chest has enough obsidian to finish it. Either way, this seed gives you options.

  • Seed Code: -4530634556500121041
  • Spawn Biome: Forest
  • Stronghold: X: 1011, Y: 66, Z: -1220
  • Ruined Portal: X: 184, Y: 65, Z: 296
  • Desert Temple: X: 870, Y: 57, Z: 1246
  • Ancient City: X: 1, Y: -51, Z: 193

4. The Nether Gateway Seed

This seed starts you right next to a nearly complete Ruined Portal — you just need a couple more obsidian blocks. The village next to the portal has a blacksmith's chest with 6 obsidian, plus food and other essentials. You can light the portal using a fire charge found in the Ruined Portal's chest. In the Nether, a Bastion Remnant and a Nether Fortress spawn in opposite directions from your entry point. Back in the Overworld, the stronghold is about a thousand blocks from the village.

  • Seed Code: 188956244577457
  • Spawn Biome: Taiga
  • Ruined Portal: X: 184, Y: 45, Z: 56
  • Cold Ruin: X: 184, Y: 56, Z: 174
  • Mineshaft: X: 87, Y: 21, Z: 111
  • Shipwreck: X: 450, Y: 49, Z: 569

5. The Underwater Stronghold Seed

This seed is for experienced players. You start near a Ruined Portal that only needs one obsidian block to complete — and that obsidian is sitting in the chest right next to it. The portal drops you close to a Nether Fortress, so you won't need to spend long in the Nether. Back in the Overworld, the stronghold is one of the smallest you'll ever see, and it's submerged underwater. With limited gear you'll want to enter the End Portal without triggering too many mobs. If you want to gear up first, there's an Ocean Monument nearby. Challenging but rewarding for skilled players.

  • Seed Code: 4165224956755711246
  • Spawn Biome: Plains and Taiga
  • Stronghold: X: -1280, Y: 48, Z: 1152
  • Nearest Village: X: 312, Y: 64, Z: 248
  • Ocean Monument: X: -1352, Y: 55, Z: 1256
  • Cold Ruin Cluster: X: -456, Y: 45, Z: -232

6. The Exposed Stronghold Seed

Bedrock Edition doesn't allow pre-filled End Portals, but this seed is the next best thing for Bedrock speedrunners. You start in a Taiga village where the stronghold library is partially visible on the surface, right next to an open staircase with water and villagers nearby. The village has plenty of beds — essential for the Ender Dragon fight — along with food and caves for resources. Find a Ruined Portal, complete your Nether run for Eyes of Ender, and you're on your way.

  • Seed Code: 322161687
  • Spawn Biome: Taiga
  • Nearest Ruined Portal: X: 696, Y: 55, Z: -280
  • Jungle Temple: X: 777, Y: 55, Z: 1136
  • Witch Hut: X: -371, Y: 65, Z: 350
  • Stronghold: X: 1684, Y: 23, Z: 1172

7. The Nether Speedrun Seed

One of the biggest time sinks in any speedrun is searching for the Nether Fortress — this seed takes care of that. You start near a plains village to build your portal. There's no Ruined Portal right at spawn, so you'll need to find lava yourself (try the village chests or nearby caves for diamonds). Once in the Nether, a Bastion Remnant spawns close to your entry point, and a Nether Fortress is nearby. With the Nether cleared quickly, you'll have plenty of time to track down the stronghold back in the Overworld.

  • Seed Code: -2063911105
  • Spawn Biome: Plains
  • Desert Village: X: 600, Y: 67, Z: 56
  • Nether Fortress: X: -389, Y: 70, Z: 75
  • Bastion Remnant: X: 128, Y: 70, Z: 80
  • Woodland Mansion: X: -2248, Y: 78, Z: -1944

8. The 10-Minute Seed

This is a personal favorite — a highly competitive seed that can rival some of the top Java Edition times. You start next to a large village with multiple lava and water sources for building your portal. A Ruined Portal is nearby too, though you don't necessarily need it. In the Nether, you spawn close to a Nether Fortress complete with a Blaze spawner, so you can get in and out quickly. The real kicker: the stronghold is directly underneath the starting village, and the village itself has four blacksmiths. It's hard to find a better all-around setup.

  • Seed Code: 1395837543
  • Spawn Biome: Plains
  • Plains Village: X: 984, Y: 67, Z: 40
  • Snowy Village: X: -287, Y: 131, Z: 176
  • Igloo with Basement: X: -100, Y: 54, Z: 259
  • Trail Ruins: X: -371, Y: 47, Z: 280

9. The Ravine Stronghold Seed

This seed is loaded with resources for speedrunning. A short distance from spawn is a plains village sitting right next to a ravine — between the two, you'll have tools, food, and materials to get moving fast. There's a Ruined Portal nearby to kick off your Nether run. When you return to the Overworld, drop into the ravine to grab chests and reach the End Portal. The portal has no Eyes of Ender pre-placed, so make sure you have Blaze Powder and Ender Pearls ready to craft all 12.

  • Seed Code: -526746112
  • Spawn Biome: Plains
  • Ruined Portal: X: 840, Y: 64, Z: 72
  • Plains Village: X: 1070, Y: 64, Z: 180
  • Mega Ravine: X: 131, Y: 80, Z: -927
  • Trial Chamber: X: 55, Y: -21, Z: -873

10. The Desert Village Stronghold Seed

If you like a resource-rich start, this seed delivers. You spawn near a large desert village with a stronghold directly beneath it — you can even see the stronghold walls poking through the ravine next to the village. A nearby desert temple has great loot and TNT ready to use. Between the ravine and desert pools, you can quickly gather diamonds and lava to build your Nether portal. When you return from the Nether, the stronghold is waiting right under your feet.

Note: Some Minecraft seeds use text strings instead of numbers. Enter this seed exactly as shown, respecting capitalization.

  • Seed Code: ace
  • Biomes: Desert, Plains
  • Village with Stronghold and Ravine: X: 584, Y: 68, Z: 136
  • Desert Temple: X: 664, Y: 65, Z: 264
  • Savanna Village: X: 1080, Y: 67, Z: 232
  • Zombie Village: X: 1032, Y: 69, Z: 200
