Strongholds are some of the rarest structures in Minecraft and are vital for reaching the End dimension and completing the game. If you want to find a stronghold quickly, you’re best off picking a specific Minecraft seed with a stronghold close to your spawn point.
Here are five Minecraft Bedrock Edition 1.19 world seeds that will help you quickly and easily find a stronghold and reach the End.
5. The Ancient City Stronghold
Seed: -183412789913619791
Stronghold portal coordinates: 111, 34, 676
This seed doesn’t just spawn you close to a stronghold – it also gives you easy access to an ancient city, the coolest new structure introduced in Minecraft version 1.19.
The stronghold is actually within the ancient city itself, which has some unique effects on the stronghold and its portal.
To get to this seed’s stronghold, you can simply dig down from just about any point in the village next to spawn. Be sure to bring a bucket of water with you though, as you may need it to save you if you fall into the huge ancient city cavern.
As well as fall damage, the ancient city also houses another danger – the Warden.
The Warden is an incredibly dangerous new mob, introduced alongside ancient cities. Unless you’re tricked out in full diamond or netherite gear, we recommend fleeing if a Warden finds you.
4. Mineshaft and a Stronghold
Seed: 5005
Stronghold portal coordinates: 219, -45, -920
Finding the stronghold in this seed is very quick and easy. You spawn in the water about 150 blocks away from a savannah village. Head to the village and start digging down
The stronghold is right below the village at -40 height. Be careful on your way down as there are quite a lot of big caverns and even a mineshaft for you to explore.
In the stronghold, you will find a spider spawner and a portal itself with three Eyes of Ender already inserted.
3. The Giant Stronghold
Seed: -5747020859644920798
Stronghold portal coordinates: 1126, -12, 731
This is a unique seed in more ways than one. Its most obvious special feature is how close its nearest stronghold is – right underneath spawn.
Even more special than that, though, is what form the stronghold takes. Rather than be an average size structure with just one End portal, the stronghold beneath spawn is enormous, being made up of three strongholds that have merged together.
This merging of strongholds has led to one massive network of tunnels and rooms that holds a ton of loot, as well as three separate End portals.
The sheer amount of loot held within this stronghold makes this seed an ideal world to spawn in for any survival mode playthrough, regardless of whether you want to rush to fight the Ender Dragon or not.
2. The Perfect Starting Village
Seed: 9665390276121893
Stronghold portal coordinates: 192, 38, 851
Using this seed is a great way to get started on a Minecraft survival run, thanks in part to the stronghold that spawns right under the village that you spawn next to.
Also in this village is a ruined Nether portal, allowing you to head into the Nether and stock up on supplies to activate the stronghold’s End portal with.
You can also find obsidian blocks and some diamonds in the village blacksmith’s chest, which allows you to move even faster through your playthrough by instantly entering the Nether with diamond gear.
1. A Stronghold, an Ancient City, a Mansion, and an Outpost
Seed: -7099328885223510224
Stronghold portal coordinates: 633, 13, 697
This is perhaps the best seed for finding a stronghold in Minecraft 1.19. As well as spawning you right above a stronghold, this seed also gives you easy access to many other rare structures.
The most obvious extra structure is the enormous woodland mansion right in front of you when you spawn.
If you travel around the mansion and continue to curve around the hill, you’ll also spot a pillager outpost on the side of the mountain, at the following coordinates: 713, 122, 487.
This seed also has an ancient city very close to spawn, taking up a huge part of the underground landscape around the stronghold.
