WHAT WE CHECK
Every public seed should give players a clear reason to start the world. We check the seed code, edition, version, spawn area, nearby structures, and whether the listed coordinates are useful in real gameplay.
- Seed code: numeric seed values are preferred because they travel more reliably between platforms.
- Spawn context: we look for nearby resources, terrain shape, early-game safety, and build potential.
- Structure value: villages, mansions, ancient cities, trial chambers, strongholds, and unusual terrain get priority.
- Player usefulness: a seed should serve a clear intent, such as survival, speedrun routing, scenic building, island play, or exploration.
JAVA & BEDROCK
Minecraft Java Edition and Bedrock Edition can share major terrain for many modern numeric seeds, but structures, loot, spawn behavior, and small details may differ. Minesite labels seeds by edition so players know what was checked.
When a seed appears useful across both editions, we mark it clearly and still encourage players to verify the exact version before building a long-term world.
COORDINATE QUALITY
Coordinates are listed in X, Y, Z format when the height matters. If the Y-level is not important, Minesite focuses on the X and Z route so the location is easier to find. We favor coordinates close enough to spawn to be practical.
For Nether travel, divide Overworld X and Z coordinates by eight to estimate portal routes.
COMMUNITY SUBMISSIONS
Submitted seeds are reviewed before publication. A good submission includes the seed code, edition, Minecraft version, coordinates, and a short explanation of why the seed is worth trying.
