Minecraft Badlands Ruined Portal Seeds
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated August 2026
Badlands are the biome with gold ore high in the hills, and ruined portals come with a chest of gold loot. These seeds put both near spawn, which suits an early trip to the Nether with gold armor for the piglins. Every seed below was scanned and has badlands and a ruined portal near spawn. Of the Java 26.3 seeds we scanned, 24,771 have the biome within 512 blocks of spawn and the structure within 1,000 blocks; for half of them the structure is 288 blocks away or closer. Versions with at least 12 such seeds in our scan: 1.18, 1.19, 1.20, 1.21, 26.2 and 26.3.

Gold for piglins and a way into the Nether
The portal chest often has gold gear, obsidian, flint and steel and sometimes a golden apple. Badlands gold ore gives more gold for armor, so piglins leave you alone and accept gold for bartering. Fill the frame with obsidian and you can reach the Nether before finding diamonds.
Can a ruined portal spawn in the badlands?
Yes. Ruined portals generate in nearly every biome, including badlands. On these seeds the portal is within 1,000 blocks of spawn, but it may be in a neighbouring biome. Check the seed map for its exact position.
How do I repair a ruined portal?
Count the missing frame blocks and replace them with obsidian. Crying obsidian in the frame does not work, so swap it for normal obsidian. You can also make obsidian by pouring water onto lava source blocks.
