Bored of the regular lay of the land in Minecraft?
An amplified seed is a specific version of a normal seed that can be created by activating “amplified” when generating your world. Amplified seeds overexaggerate a world's natural proportions, creating insane mountains, valleys, and floating structures. These types of worlds are fun because they pose a challenge and test the true strength of your survival and building skills. Do you have what it takes to thrive in an amplified seed?
Keep in mind that all of these seeds are only available on the Java version of Minecraft for PC!
10. Shadow Mountains - Seed -615404404
Found by Reddit User u/Mythsqueue
The structures in this seed look like they haven’t even finished generating yet and there is a variety of biomes just within spawn distance, which is a perfect example of what to expect when venturing into an amplified world!
What makes this seed awesome:
- The sudden drop-offs and random floating structures are something you would never see in a regular seed, and they cast some awesome shadows, too.
- Right at the base of one of the mountains is a small birch forest, and then right next to it is a dark oak forest!
- You can also easily access and explore the ocean as it surrounds the mountain.
- This seed is rich with interesting build opportunities because of the strange generation pattern. Test your creativity here!

- Perhaps the most immediately rewarding trait is that right behind the mountain at spawn you can find a small village!

7. Sky High Mountains - Seed -5707472292548279773
Found by Unstoppable Cam
If you are looking for more common biomes with a completely uncommon generation this is your seed. It may not look very “amplified” when you first spawn in, but you will quickly notice the towering mountains and steep valleys.
What makes this seed awesome:
- It provides your basic woods like oak and spruce directly near the spawn point for easy access to building materials right away.
- However, just because the biomes are common it does not mean that it denotes the crazy structures generated around the spawn point. There are plateaus, waterfalls, lava falls, mountains, hills, and floating islands galore!
- Right in front of the spawn point, you will discover a snaking river cutting low through the enormous mountains!
- This world provides a really fun twist to generic seeds and biomes to those who are just starting to introduce themselves to amplified worlds.
