Best Minecraft 26.3 Seeds for Java & Bedrock
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated October 2026
Minecraft 26.3, Wilderness Bound, adds the dappled forest, a new forest biome, and abandoned camps, a new structure. It changes world generation again: a seed keeps its oceans, mountains and almost all of its biomes, but part of its plains near cold biomes is dappled forest now, and some of its villages, pillager outposts and strongholds differ from 26.2. The seeds below are Java worlds with a village within 200 blocks of spawn and a dappled forest nearby, closest village first.

What changed for seeds in 26.3
We compared Mojang's world generation data from the 26.2 and 26.3 server jars: 92 of the 586 plains entries in the biome parameter list are dappled forest now, about 4% of all plains, and there is one new structure set, the abandoned camp, which generates in 18 forest, taiga, jungle, savanna and swamp biomes. Villages and pillager outposts don't generate in dappled forest, so about 2% of villages and a few outposts no longer generate, and strongholds, which prefer plains, move in about 1 seed in 40, by up to about 200 blocks. We checked villages, pillager outposts, abandoned camps and strongholds against a vanilla 26.3 server, and ChunkScan scans 26.3 seeds on their own, so this list and every 26.3 map show 26.3 positions. Abandoned camps are on Java maps; Bedrock camps aren't scanned yet.
Are the seeds the same in Java and Bedrock 26.3?
No. Java and Bedrock share the biome layout for a seed, but structures are placed with different rules, so a village at spawn in Java can be hundreds of blocks away in Bedrock. ChunkScan scans both editions separately for 26.3: the list above is Java, and the Bedrock link above opens the Bedrock seed search.
Do 26.3 seeds work in other versions?
Not reliably. World generation changed in 26.3, so biomes and structures can move compared with older versions. Pick 26.3 in the version selector to search seeds for it.
