The seed templates

The seed templates interface is a selection screen Template:In that allows the player to choose from a number of preset Minecraft:world seeds for generating worlds with specific features or landscapes near the Minecraft:world spawn. There are 26 different seed templates.

Usage

To get to the seed template interface, from the "Worlds" tab in the Minecraft:Play screen, select "Create new world" twice. Go to the "Advanced" section, and next to the "World seed" input field, there is an button named "Templates". Clicking on this button opens the seed templates screen. This screen shows a scrollable region of named thumbnails to browse the preset seeds. Clicking on a thumbnail returns to the Create new world screen with the applicable seed filled in.

Seed templates are only accessible with an Internet connection, even though world creation does not require this. This is because seed templates can get updated through asset updates outside the normal update cycle. Relevant information is stored in the cache files.

Discontinued presets

Seeds in the seed templates are discontinued when changes in the world generating algorithms cause the seed to appear differently.

In 1.10.0 and 1.11.0, the locations of many generated structures were altered, causing many seeds to be removed or changed.

In 1.17.40, several seeds were removed in preparation for the Minecraft:Caves & Cliffs Part II update (1.18.0), because they were made obsolete by the introduction of significant changes in the terrain generation algorithm.<ref name="feedback">Template:Citation</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref> These worlds were restored to the seed templates in 1.18.0 with new seed values.
