Most Minecraft players spend a fair amount of time exploring caves and caverns to obtain important materials, but it can be tricky to know whether or not you have a great cave seed without spending hours exploring. I’ve taken the risk for you and found the best Minecraft cave seeds for each version.

In addition to abundant resources, these underground networks also contain tons of enemies and unique structures like Ancient Cities. The seeds I found contain the best of both structures and geographically interesting caves in Minecraft.

Sometimes you just want a regular cave with no frills or strings attached. This seed gives you just that: a deep cavern dropping down to deepslate with nothing but you, precious ores, and all the mobs that spawn in the darkness of the cavern. Make sure to prepare yourself before going in by gathering food, soil, and saplings. It’s a very long drop and you don’t want to make the entire trip back and forth while your inventory fills up.
