Trial Chamber Seeds
Trial Chamber Seeds With a Village Start
Trial chambers arrived in Java 1.21 as deep, copper-lined dungeons full of trial spawners, vaults, and the breeze mob that drops wind charges. They are the fastest route to a mace, but only if the ominous vaults cooperate. Pairing that with a village at spawn gives you the other half of an efficient start: beds, a bell, farms, and villager trades to fund the potions and gear you will burn through underground. The seeds below all put a trial chamber and a village within a few hundred blocks of world spawn, so you can set up a base and start raiding vaults in the first play session instead of hunting for hours.

What makes a good trial chamber start
Two things decide whether a trial chamber seed is worth loading: distance and support. Trial chambers generate deep underground (roughly y -40 to y 0) in the deepslate layer, so a nearby one saves you a long tunnel or cave descent. A village within a couple hundred blocks gives you a safe overnight base, beds to skip the night, and trades to stock arrows, potions, and armor before you fight breezes and trial spawner waves. The best seeds cluster both structures near spawn so setup and raiding happen in the same area rather than across separate trips.
How ChunkScan verifies these seeds
Every seed here comes from a real world-generation scan, not a wishlist. ChunkScan has scanned over 1.7 million seeds and records the exact block coordinates of each structure it finds. For this topic, 20 seeds matched the filter of a trial chamber plus a village near spawn. The distances shown are straight-line block distances from world spawn (0,0), computed from the actual generated structure positions. That means when a seed lists a trial chamber at a given coordinate, the structure is confirmed to generate there in Java 1.21 worldgen, so you are not gambling on a screenshot.
Reading the coordinates
Each seed lists structures with X and Z block coordinates and a distance from spawn. A trial chamber at x -256, z -224 sits northwest of spawn; you would head that direction and then dig down into the deepslate layer once you are roughly above it. Villages sit on the surface, so their coordinates take you straight to the buildings. Note that several seeds contain more than one trial chamber, which matters because the mace only drops from ominous vaults, and having a second chamber gives you more vaults to open if the first run is unlucky with drops.
Seed -9223235139966548397: the closest chamber
This snowy taiga seed has the nearest trial chamber in the list, at x 0, z 80, only 80 blocks from spawn. You can practically walk over it before digging down. A village sits at x 48, z -176, about 182 blocks the other direction, so spawn ends up between your base and your dungeon. A second trial chamber generates at x -304, z 16, giving you a backup set of vaults 304 blocks west. Two treasure map targets and an ocean ruin round out the area for early loot while you gear up for the breeze fights.
Seed -9222904432287370378: three chambers, two villages
A plains spawn with unusual density: three separate trial chambers and two villages, all within 350 blocks. The first chamber sits at x -256, z 80 (268 blocks), with more at x 304, z 16 and x 256, z -240. Villages appear at x 160, z 112 and x -272, z 128, so you have two supply bases to choose from depending on which chamber you raid first. A ruined portal at x 16, z 160, just 160 blocks out, gives you a quick nether entry. With three chambers you get the most ominous vault attempts of any seed here, which is the strongest setup for grinding a mace.
Seed -9222485671589536753: forest with a chamber cluster
This forest seed also carries three trial chambers plus two villages. The village at x 32, z -176 is the closest structure at 178 blocks, making an easy first base. Trial chambers follow at x 192, z 208 (283 blocks), x 48, z -288, and x -304, z 80, spread across three directions from spawn. Because the chambers sit far apart, this seed rewards building a couple of outposts rather than one central base, but the payoff is redundancy: if one chamber's vaults disappoint, two more are a short trip away.
Compact all-in-one starts
If you want everything tight around spawn, seed -9222826419589772002 (snowy plains) puts a ruined portal just 45 blocks out, a trial chamber at 157 blocks, an igloo at 163, and a village at 186, all clustered northeast. Seed -9222197216944813178 (desert) keeps its trial chamber at x 240, z -432 within 182 blocks and adds a village, a desert pyramid, a shipwreck, and an ocean ruin nearby, so one desert biome doubles as a full loot run before you go underground.
Practical tips for raiding
Bring a trial key strategy: normal vaults open with trial keys, but the mace only comes from ominous vaults, which require a Bad Omen effect (drink an ominous bottle) before triggering the spawners. Stock arrows and a shield from village trades, since breezes fire wind charges that knock you around. Copper and tuff are everywhere in a chamber, so bring a spare pickaxe. On the multi-chamber seeds, clear vaults in one chamber per Bad Omen cycle rather than sprinting between them, and use the village beds to reset the night between runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What version do these trial chamber seeds need?
- All ten listed seeds are Java Edition and require 1.21 or later, since trial chambers were added in that update. On older versions the structures will not generate at these coordinates.
- How do I get a mace from a trial chamber?
- The mace drops only from ominous vaults. Get a Bad Omen effect from an ominous bottle before activating trial spawners, then open ominous vaults with an ominous trial key. Regular vaults will not give a mace.
- Why start near a village?
- A village gives beds to skip the night, a safe base, and trades to stock arrows, shields, and potions. That preparation matters because breeze mobs and trial spawner waves can overwhelm an unequipped player quickly.
