Minecraft Desert Well Finder
Desert Well finder accuracyEstimateFind every Desert Well on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.2 & Bedrock 1.26.30, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Desert Wells are small sandstone wells dotted across desert biomes — and since 1.20 each hides Suspicious Sand to brush for archaeology. This finder shows estimated desert-well locations for Java and Bedrock.
Where do Desert Wells generate?
Desert Wells generate on the surface of desert biomes in the Overworld — a small ring of sandstone, slabs and a central water source. They are uncommon and easy to miss among the dunes, which is why a seed finder helps.
How do I find a Desert Well from a seed?
Enter your seed and the finder marks estimated desert-well locations. Open a marker for coordinates and travel there. Since 1.20, bring a Brush — the block of Suspicious Sand at the bottom can be brushed for archaeology loot.
What is inside a Desert Well?
Originally pure decoration, desert wells gained an archaeology role in the Trails & Tales update: a single Suspicious Sand block sits at the base. Brush it gently to recover pottery sherds, emeralds or sticks — breaking the block destroys the contents.
Does the finder work on Bedrock, and why is it an estimate?
Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.2 (Java) and 1.26.30 (Bedrock). Desert wells place as a sparse surface decoration rather than a fixed structure, so we publish their positions as an estimate rather than an exact percentage.
