Minecraft Cherry Blossom Seeds: Java & Bedrock Picks (2026)

Minecraft cherry blossom seeds are world generation codes that spawn you in or next to a cherry grove — the pink-leaved biome added in the 1.20 update. Cherry groves are one of the most requested spawn biomes because they combine rare building wood, a distinctive look, and usually calm terrain for a first base. Below you will find how to enter a seed correctly on Java and Bedrock, what the cherry grove biome actually gives you, which seeds to try, and how to make the most of a village near spawn.

How to Use Seeds (Java and Bedrock)

A seed is just a number (or text) the world generator converts into your terrain. The same seed on the same edition and version always produces the same world.

Java Edition:

1. Click Singleplayer → Create New World.
2. Open More World Options.
3. Type the seed into the Seed for the world generator box and click Create New World.

Bedrock Edition:

1. On the Play screen, click Create New, then Create New World.
2. Scroll to the Seed field under the Game settings.
3. Enter the seed and create the world.

Two rules that prevent most "the seed doesn't work" complaints:

• Copy the seed exactly, including any minus sign. A single wrong digit produces a completely different world.
• Match the version. Cherry groves only generate in 1.20 and later. A seed tested on 1.21.x can look different on a much older or newer release, because world generation changes between versions.

Java and Bedrock generate terrain differently, so a Java seed rarely produces the same landscape on Bedrock. Treat each seed below as edition-specific unless noted otherwise.

What Cherry Groves Are

The cherry grove is a mountain-area biome introduced in the 1.20 "Trails & Tales" update. Its defining features:

Practical value: cherry logs are the rarest vanilla wood type in most worlds, so a cherry grove spawn gives you a building material most players have to travel for. The biome has no village of its own — villages only generate in plains, desert, savanna, taiga, and snowy plains — which is exactly why "cherry grove next to a village" seeds are so popular: you get the rare biome plus immediate shelter and food.

Seed Picks

These seeds come from the pages already tested on this site and from widely shared community reports. Verify the edition column before committing time to a world — terrain differs between Java and Bedrock.

If none of these fit your platform or version, search structurally instead of by code: generate random worlds and check the spawn area's biome with the /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove command (Java, cheats enabled), or browse a seed map site and filter for cherry grove near spawn. That method always works regardless of version changes.

Village-at-Spawn Tips

When your cherry blossom seed drops you next to a village, the first day decides how smooth the rest of the game goes:

1. Sleep before night one. Grab a bed from a house (or trade for one later) so phantoms and surface mobs never become a problem.
2. Loot the blacksmith first. The blacksmith chest reliably holds iron gear or ingots, and sometimes diamonds or obsidian — the fastest early-game head start available.
3. Trade with a librarian. Reroll trades by breaking and replacing the lectern until Mending or another book you want appears; this pairs perfectly with our enchanting order guide.
4. Harvest the cherry grove sustainably. Take logs from mature trees and replant saplings — cherry wood is scarce outside the biome, and you will want a full set for builds.
5. Watch the cliffs. Cherry groves generate on slopes, and villages sit below exposed caves. Light the cave entrances near the village before villagers wander in.
6. Claim the bees. Bee nests under cherry canopies give honey and honeycomb; place a campfire below the nest before harvesting to keep the bees calm.

Version Notes

• Minimum version: cherry groves require 1.20+ (Java and Bedrock). On older versions the same seed generates different terrain with no cherry biome at all.
• 1.21.x: trial chambers generate in these worlds and seed outputs remain stable across 1.21 patch releases so far.
• Java vs Bedrock: identical numeric seeds produce different worlds on each edition. Seeds marked "Java & Bedrock" above are reported to generate a cherry grove near spawn on both, but exact terrain still differs.
• Future updates: Minecraft changes world generation in most major releases. A seed verified today may shift in later versions — always test a new seed in the version you actually play, and keep the note in mind when a community seed predates your game version.
