Minecraft Cherry Grove Ruined Portal Seeds
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated August 2026
A ruined portal is a broken Nether portal with a chest of gold loot next to it. These seeds put one near a cherry grove, so a pink base and an early route to the Nether are close together. Every seed below was scanned and has a cherry grove and a ruined portal near spawn. Of the Java 26.3 seeds we scanned, 48,695 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: 1.20, 1.21, 26.2 and 26.3.

An early Nether trip from a pink base
The portal chest often has gold gear, obsidian, flint and steel, and sometimes a golden apple or an enchanted golden apple. Fill the missing obsidian to light the frame and you can reach the Nether before finding diamonds. The grove nearby gives cherry wood for the base you come back to.
Can a ruined portal spawn inside a cherry grove?
Ruined portals generate in nearly every biome, so one can appear in or near a grove. On these seeds the portal is within 1,000 blocks of spawn, but it may be in a different biome. Some portals are partly buried or sit underground, so check the seed map for the 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.
