Minecraft Lava Pool Finder

Lava Pool finder accuracyEstimate

Find every Lava Pool on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.2 & Bedrock 1.26.30, any seed, free, no sign-up.

Quick answer: Lava Pools are pockets of open lava — at the surface and in flooded caves — that give quick access to lava for fuel, obsidian and Nether portals. This finder shows estimated lava-pool locations for Java and Bedrock.

Where do Lava Pools generate?

Open lava generates as small surface pools in many Overworld biomes and as larger lakes and flooded caves underground, especially near the deepslate layers. The finder marks the likely pockets so you can grab lava without spelunking blind.

How do I find a Lava Pool from a seed?

Enter your seed and the finder marks estimated lava-pool locations. Open a marker for coordinates and travel there with a bucket (and care). Surface pools are the easiest to reach; the larger underground lakes sit nearer diamond depth.

What is a Lava Pool good for?

A nearby lava source is one of the most useful early finds: a bucket of lava is long-lasting furnace fuel, lava plus water casts the obsidian for a Nether portal, and a surface pool saves a deep, dangerous dig for your first portal.

Does the finder work on Bedrock, and why is it an estimate?

Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.2 (Java) and 1.26.30 (Bedrock). Lava pools are terrain features rather than placed structures, so we publish their positions as an estimate rather than an exact percentage.
