Positions are for Java Edition. Bedrock Edition places structures differently; they will be added to the Bedrock map once they match the official Bedrock server.
How to use it
- 1
Enter your seed
Type or paste your world's seed in the Seed box and pick the version you play. In Java Edition, type /seed in chat to see it. If you upgraded an old world, pick the version its chunks were generated in: chunks that already exist keep what they had.
- 2
See the nearest
The Find tab lists the five nearest villages to the middle of the map, with coordinates. Drag the map somewhere else and press Find to search from there.

Go there
Click a marker or a result to copy its coordinates or a /tp command, then paste it in the game.
Where villages generate
The game splits the Overworld into regions of 34 by 34 chunks and picks one spot in each, at least 8 chunks from the spots of the next regions. A village is built there only if the biome allows it: plains, desert, savanna, taiga, snowy plains or meadow. That is why some areas have several villages close together and others have none for a long way.
Pick the exact version you play. In Java 1.18 the regions grew from 32 to 34 chunks, so villages in 1.17 and older worlds are in other places.
Finding it in the game with /locate
With cheats on, the game can tell you the nearest village too. In Java Edition 1.19 and later, type /locate structure #minecraft:village (before 1.19: /locate village). In Bedrock Edition, type /locate structure village. Both search from where you stand; the map shows every village around, not just the nearest, and works without cheats.
Checked against the game
We compared the map with the official Minecraft Java server's /locate on 20 held-out seeds: 120 of 120 answers for this structure were the same chunk (Java 26.3 and 1.21.4). How we tested
