Minecraft Meadow Finder
Highlight every Meadow patch on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.62, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Meadows are flowery alpine grasslands draped over mountain slopes and plateaus, dotted with wildflowers, bee nests and the only mountain villages in the game. Half of worlds have one within 800 blocks of the world centre. This finder highlights every Meadow on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.
Where does Meadow generate?
Meadows generate on the Overworld surface across mountain slopes, isolated plateaus and the valleys enclosed inside mountain ranges, in medium to cold regions. The turquoise-green grass is blanketed in dandelions, cornflowers, poppies, alliums, oxeye daisies and azure bluets, with the odd oak or birch tree, and every one of those trees carries a bee nest.
How far away is the nearest Meadow?
Often around 1,000 blocks. Across 200 random worlds, half had a Meadow within 800 blocks of the world centre (0, 0), and 9 in 10 had one within 1,750. Enter your seed above and click any highlighted patch to read its coordinates, then travel there to collect bees and full bee nests, harvest a rainbow of flowers for dye, and check the flatter stretches for a village.

Measured with this finder on 200 random worlds, from the centre of the world (0, 0). A seed puts its biomes in the same places on Java and Bedrock, so one column covers both. Distances are rounded.
What is special about a Meadow?
Meadows are the only mountain biome where a full village can generate, and a pillager outpost can appear here as well - settlements you will not normally find at altitude. They are also one of the best biomes for bees, since every tree comes with a nest, and they hide generous emerald ore at higher elevations along with coal and iron. Donkeys, sheep and rabbits graze the surface, making a meadow a scenic and self-sufficient spot for a base.
Does the Meadow finder work on Bedrock?
Yes - both editions, Minecraft 26.3 on Java and 1.26.62 on Bedrock. Meadows were added in the 1.18 Caves & Cliffs update on both editions. The map runs the same world-generation maths Minecraft uses and highlights every patch on your seed, free and with no sign-up.
