Get some suspenders handy, because these Minecraft seeds will scare your pants off!

Long-time fans of the sandbox construction game, Minecraft, know of the Creepypasta rumors floating around the Internet. Cursed world seeds that generate real-world spirits, haunted worlds that can only be accessed in the dead of night, and creatures that promise harm and misfortune to players once the game is over.

While many of these stories are nothing more than unsettling Internet clickbait, there's an abundance of Minecraft world seeds that create a horrifying atmosphere.

From abandoned biomes to monster spawners near villages, these world seeds create terrifying environments for players to navigate and survive through. For a level of added terror, these world seeds can be played on the hardest difficulty available for Survival mode.

Take a step back from horror maps and dive into the top ten most terrifying world seeds available for Minecraft.

10. -424359071 (The Spider Spawner)

Arachnophobes, beware―your worst fear comes to life. This frightening world seed provides a Spider Spawner in the depths of a ravine, nestled down inside a hidden mineshaft. Though it takes a bit of a journey to arrive at the Spawner, players who use this world seed are in for quite a fright.

What’s Great About This Seed:

There are Spiders lurking deep in the shadows. With low-light, these Spiders are hostile and ready to attack any player unfortunate enough to cross their sinister path.
Treasures nestled in the darkness are well worth the journey to retrieve them. No journey is without its dangers, and this world seed provides more than enough of them!
Traveling to the Spawner’s location requires descending into a deep ravine, exploring an abandoned mineshaft, and risking life and limb against a horde of Spiders. Are you brave enough to descend into the shadows?

9. 8858351513851407858 (A Mountain Archway)

Sometimes the most terrifying things dwell in nature. In this world seed, a large mountain peak appears in the middle of the map, and in the shadows dwells something horrific. While providing an exciting place to explore during daylight hours, this world seed provides a dark location set in a mountain arch, perfect for monsters and hostile mobs to spawn.

What’s Great About This Seed:

Even in daylight, this world seed creates an area of high danger! The archway itself generates massive low-light pockets, ensuring that hostile mobs will spawn and attack players unfortunate enough to encounter them.
Afraid of heights? Try and travel safely to the top of the mountain peak, and set up a base of operations to begin mining.
This large, imposing structure provides a high vantage point on any world map, but high points are not without their dangers. Are you brave enough to climb to the top and risk the dangerous dig down to mine the resources within?

8. -6346922995396016419 (The Skeleton Spawner)

Are you prepared to handle a horde of undead archers hunting you down? In this terrifying world seed, a skeleton spawner is placed in the middle of a mountain, nestled directly beside a village. When night falls, the horror begins. How well will you survive against a skeletal onslaught?

What’s Great About This Seed:

An army of the undead spawns in a mountain directly beside a village. Players must spend the day preparing themselves for the inevitable attack when night falls.
Skeletons pose a larger danger than many other hostile mobs due to their distance-based strikes. No matter how far away you might find yourself, you may still be in the line of fire. Make sure you prepare your defenses well.
Locating the Spawner requires climbing a mountain and risking the descent inside. How will you survive when daylight no longer provides protection?

7. -4589128118707775879 (The Woodland Mansion)

You won’t need to travel far for this frightening mansion. This world seed generates a large woodland mansion within sight of the Spawn point.

What’s Great About This Seed:

Not only does a large mansion provide a wonderful place to live, it creates an exceptional amount of danger in the form of hostile mobs. Players can experience a deadly maze and face off against hidden enemies in the darkened halls.
Travel through ornate rooms and excavate the bountiful treasures within. What better way to start off a game than having immediate access to powerful resources?
Jutting from the tops of trees, this mansion is impossible to miss. Traversing the way to the mansion ensures a frightening time, but nothing compares to the challenges that await beyond the mansion doors.

6. 2646137890119988483 (A Frozen Wasteland)

Beware the terrors of the winter wonderland. Though the frozen biome generated from this world seed might seem harmless at first glance, it invokes a feeling of loneliness and horror. Polar bears, hostile mobs, and the surrounding ice and snowstorms create an environment of horror for those adventurers brave enough to venture into the cold.

Something wicked this way comes. An imposing Witch hut on stilts spawns in this frightening world seed, generating a hostile mob for brave players to engage. Test your combat skills against a powerful Witch and explore the depths of the terrifying, surrounding swamps. Are you powerful enough to challenge the Witch?

What’s Great About This Seed:

A giant Witch hut on stilts appears in the middle of the map, guaranteeing an encounter with a deadly hostile mob. Those players inexperienced with fighting Witches are in for a treat, and those who have battled them are in for a fun challenge.
Once night falls, the swampy terrain becomes even more dangerous. Traveling in the shadows can be a dangerous venture, and nothing is creepier than happening upon a hostile mob’s hut in the middle of the night.
Players can reap the rewards of their struggles once the Witch has been defeated. Face off against the horrors of the swamp biome and claim the Witch’s home for your own.

4. 6897005041604436933 (The Zombie Spawner)

This chilling world seed is perfect for fans of the zombie horror genre and guarantees a frighteningly good time. Will you survive against a swarm of the undead, or will you perish like the rest?

What’s Great About This Seed:

Spawners are dangerous enough on their own, but having one placed right inside the village you call home? Now that’s a recipe for disaster!
Play in Hard Mode for added difficulty! Zombie mobs on the hardest difficulty are not deterred by doors, creating an additional danger for those eager for a horrific challenge.
Darkness falls, and the screaming begins. Players can live out their end-of-the-world fantasies in the world of Minecraft, and test their survival skills. What better way to prepare for a real Zombie apocalypse?

2. 12345 (A Forgotten World)

Nothing is more terrifying than that which has been forgotten. This world seed generates unsettling mini-biomes, set close together, and placed on raised platforms with large bodies of water down below. The strange and unsettling assortment of biomes creates a terrifying environment, perfect for an expert explorer eager for something sinister.

What’s Great About This Seed:

Something isn’t quite right. This world seed creates an unsettling environment in which players experience mixed mini-biomes, providing a feeling of unease.
The most frightening things are those you cannot see. What lurks in the shadows? When the sun goes down, players are left in a mixed series of biomes where nothing is certain and no one is safe.
The uncertainty and strangeness of this world seed makes the player feel uneasy during their playthrough. With tall mountainous biomes and large bodies of water beneath, traveling is a creepy experience full of chilling surprises.

1. 206889990 (The Double Nether Fortress)

Descend into Hell! The Nether is a frightening realm in its own right. Filled with terrifying creatures, deep ravines, and vast pits of lava, the Nether is an utter hellscape with a mighty fortress hidden within. This world seed, however, generates two fortresses in the middle of the Nether, for twice the hellish terror. Are you brave enough to delve into a nightmare world where the horror is doubled?
