Minecraft Dark Forest Finder
Highlight every Dark Forest patch on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.51, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Dark Forests are dense, gloomy woodlands where dark oak canopies block the sky, mushrooms sprout in the shade, and the rare Woodland Mansion hides among the trees. This finder highlights every Dark Forest on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.
Where do Dark Forests generate?
Dark Forests generate on the Overworld surface as dense stands of dark oak whose broad leaves form an almost solid roof. That canopy - which is why the biome was originally called the Roofed Forest - keeps the ground so dark that hostile mobs can spawn beneath the trees even at midday.
How do I find a Dark Forest on my seed?
Enter your seed and the map highlights every Dark Forest - click any highlighted patch to read its coordinates. Scout a large patch in particular, since the Woodland Mansion only generates in this biome and a bigger forest improves the odds of one being nearby.
Why look for a Dark Forest?
Dark Forests are the only place the Woodland Mansion generates, home to the evokers that drop the totem of undying, with vindicators and vexes guarding its loot. Away from the mansion the biome still offers dark oak wood, huge brown and red mushrooms, rose bushes and plenty of small mushrooms for stews.
Does the Dark Forest finder work on Bedrock?
Yes - both editions, Minecraft 26.3 on Java and 1.26.51 on Bedrock. Dark Forests, still called the Roofed Forest by some longtime players, generate the same way on both editions. The map highlights every patch on your seed, free and with no sign-up.
