Best Minecraft Coral Reef Seeds – 1.21, Bedrock & Java (2024)

If you're looking to explore the oceans and live among the fish, then I've got a bunch of great Minecraft Coral Reef Seeds for you! I've sailed vast Warm Ocean biomes and braved treacherous seas to discover the best Coral Reefs in Minecraft and create this convenient list.

These seeds work for both Bedrock and Java, so you should be able to find something you like on any platform. While world generation works similarly between the two versions, they still generate structures at different locations. Because of this, I have provided helpful lists of key locations for both versions of each seed!

Best Minecraft 1.21 Coral Reef Seeds

Get ready for a life of tropical living.

Coral Lake

Seed: 4903410334506783867

This Coral Reef is contained in a small lake in a Desert. Java players will find a Desert Village on the edge of the Coral Reef. In contrast, Bedrock players will have a Desert Temple and a cluster of Warm Ocean Ruins around the neighboring lake.

Fields of Coral

Seed: 2752078967404334648

Most Coral Reefs are in Warm Oceans on the edge of Desert biomes. This one is no exception. Java players will mainly find Warm Ocean Ruins and shipwrecks in the Coral Reef itself while Bedrock players will also have a Desert Village near Spawn. Since you spawn next to the reef, you'll be able to enjoy it immediately.

Coral Beginnings

Seed: -3600559789931108364

A Coral Reef is a great biome to build a base in. Since you'll be underwater, it'll be difficult for many mobs and even players to find and attack you. The Coral can be used to cover the top of your base and hide it from any prying eyes. If you're feeling fancy or are confident in your defensive abilities, you can make a larger, flashier base like something out of Subnautica.

Tropical Coral Seas

Seed: 5941544289008647838

These Coral Seas are directly off the coast you begin on in this Minecraft world. The sea begins with a lone yellow coral block, giving you a silly sneak peek of the Coral Reef a little further out. To go with the bright colors of the Coral Reef, players will encounter a Lush Cave a short walk away. Java players will have a mineshaft in this cave, but players of both versions will have a Trial Chamber nearby as well.

Giant Coral Reef

Seed: -5359898961167250079

Sometimes bigger is better. This Coral Reef is only a brief trip from the world's beginning and expands over a massive Warm Ocean within a Desert. You'll find all the coral and tropical fish you could ever dream of. Additionally, you can wander around the reef to find various Desert-specific structures like villages and temples.

Coral Ravine

Seed: 8225517119173891146

Coral tends to only cover a single layer in oceans in Minecraft, maybe two layers for luckier players. This Coral Reef stands above the rest because the Coral has grown in an underwater ravine at the start of the reef! Go spelunking underwater surrounded by the brilliant hues of blue, red, and pink coral blocks. It's a sight that every Minecrafter can appreciate.

Coral Beach

Seed: 2584201713916733481

If you've ever wanted to jump straight into a Coral Reef from a sandy beach, this seed will make your dreams come true. All players will find shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins scattered in the ocean around the reef. Java players will also find a Desert Village and a ruined portal. Instead of these, Bedrock players will have a Desert Temple nearby.

Coral Hideaway

Seed: 3041418834540870761

This Coral Reef is perfect for building a hidden base to get away from the rest of the world. The section of the reef closest to shore dips down into the sand, providing an easy place to hide from anyone above the water. The reef expands out from the edge of the Desert and is filled with plenty of colorful tropical fish.

Oasis Reef

Seed: -6073716221727513421

When we think of a Desert oasis, typically we think of swaying trees, green grass, and a beautiful blue source of water. This Minecraft seed takes a twist on the Desert Oasis by turning it into a colorful Coral Reef. Small tropical fish can be found swimming about while coral acts like trees on the lakebed. Java players will find a set of Warm Ocean Ruins hidden within the coral. In contrast, Bedrock players will have a Desert Temple near the lake's edge.

Coral Ruins

Seed: -586875960084347391

This Coral Reef contains several ruins structures for players to explore, including shipwrecks and Warm Ocean Ruins. It's next to spawn, giving players early access to buried treasure and potentially even Sniffer eggs! Just remember to mine copper in the desert for brushes first.

Multi-Layer Coral Reef

Seed: -3135873002303195014

This seed begins in a Wooded Badlands biome next to the ocean. The ocean has a shallower area near the badlands that drops down as you swim further out into the sea. Both the shallow and deep areas are filled with coral, making this a two-layer Coral Reef. This includes a few pieces of coral that have grown within the nearby underwater ravine.

Coral Ocean

Seed: 5160939106423420830

If an endless Coral Reef is what you want, an endless Coral Reef is what you'll get! The Coral Reef in this seed covers over 1,000 blocks, ranging from the area right next to Spawn to a Mushroom Island and even further beyond that. It's perfect for crafting a hidden base out of coral as no one would even know where to look. It's also great for any underwater-themed adventure games.

Tropical Fish Sanctuary

Seed: -5939591689816424949

Tropical fish lovers, this one is for you. The Coral Reef is large and located right next to Spawn. As soon as I entered the world, I saw dozens of tropical fish swimming through the reef. It covers the shallow and deeper parts of the ocean, providing all players with an endless array of bright colors and cute fish.

Coral Path to Mushroom Isle

Seed: -1598455321194842871

Spawn in this world is set on a beautiful, crescent-shaped windswept island. If you follow the Coral Reef near Spawn, it will lead you to a small Mushroom Island! If that's not enough mushrooms for you, there is a larger one beyond the reef's edge.

Contained Coral

Seed: -8777635791071504639

This patch of coral is separated from the rest of the ocean and is contained by a ring of sand. Players of both versions will have a Desert Village in the surrounding area. Whether these villagers moved here for the coral or were here before it ever arrived, they make good use of it in their everyday lives. You're more than welcome to harvest and use it as well. If you'd prefer to leave this patch as-is, there is more coral beyond the sand that you can utilize.
