Minecraft Lush Cave Seeds
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated August 2026
Lush caves are the green cave biome under the surface, with moss, glow berries, azaleas, dripleaf and pools of water where axolotls spawn. In each seed below, a lush cave lies within 512 blocks of spawn. Seeds with the nearest lush cave come first; a distance of 0 means one directly under spawn. Of the Java 26.3 seeds we scanned, 114,505 have a lush cave within 512 blocks of spawn; for half of them it is 205 blocks away or closer. In 18,600 seeds it lies right under spawn, and 41,722 have one within 128 blocks.

What is in a lush cave?
Moss blocks cover the floor and spread with bone meal, which makes a moss farm easy. Cave vines hang from the ceiling with glow berries, a food that also lights the cave. Big dripleaf, small dripleaf, spore blossoms and azalea bushes grow there, and clay pools hold axolotls. On the surface, an azalea tree with rooted dirt under it often marks a lush cave below.
How the distance is measured
Each seed was generated with cubiomes, the world-generation library that mirrors the game, for the listed version. We check the cave biome at Y 10, -10, -30 and -50 on a grid every 32 blocks out to 512 blocks from spawn, and give the straight-line distance to the nearest grid point in a lush cave, so the real edge can be up to about 20 blocks closer. Lush caves exist since Minecraft 1.18.
