Minecraft Biome Finder
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated October 2026
Quick answer: To find a biome, type your seed, pick the biome and leave X and Z empty to search from 0, 0; the page shows the nearest patch with its X, Z and a /tp command. Example: on seed 1 the nearest cherry grove to 0, 0 is at 1050, 374. Link a search with /biome-finder?seed=YOUR_SEED&biome=cherry_grove.
Type your seed and pick a biome, and this finder shows the nearest patch of it, with X and Z and a /tp command to copy. Search from 0, 0 or from where you stand (paste F3 + C). It works for Java and Bedrock 1.18 and later, which share one biome generator, and covers every Overworld biome, caves included.
How biomes are placed
Since Caves & Cliffs (1.18), Minecraft picks every Overworld biome from six noise values: temperature, humidity, continentalness, erosion, weirdness and depth. The world seed sets that noise, so a seed always grows the same biomes in the same places. Java and Bedrock share the same biome generator since 1.18, so one seed gives the same biome map in both editions, even though villages and other structures differ.
How this finder works
The page runs the game’s biome generator in your browser, the same engine that draws our seed map. It scans boxes around your start point at one sample every 16 blocks, from 512 blocks out to 16,384, and stops at the first box with a match. The closest patch is then checked again every 4 blocks, so the X and Z it shows sit inside the biome. Surface biomes are read at the surface; lush caves, dripstone caves and the deep dark are read at Y −40.
How to use it
Type your seed (run /seed in chat, or copy it from the world settings) and pick a biome. Leave X and Z empty to search from the middle of the world, or type where you are now: press F3 + C on Java and paste the line into either box. The result updates on its own. Copy the /tp command to go there in creative, or open the find on the seed map to see what is around it before you set off. Next nearest skips that patch and shows the next one further out.
Rare biomes
Some biomes are much harder to find than others. Mushroom fields only form far out in the ocean, often thousands of blocks away. Cherry groves and badlands are often a few thousand blocks away, and the deep dark sits deep below mountains. If nothing turns up, try another start point; the next patch is often just past the edge of the search.
