Minecraft Snowy Beach Finder
Highlight every Snowy Beach patch on your Minecraft seed — Java 26.3 & Bedrock 1.26.51, any seed, free, no sign-up.
Quick answer: Snowy Beaches are the cold version of the Beach — sand topped with a thin layer of snow, with ice forming along the waterline. This finder highlights every Snowy Beach on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.
Where do Snowy Beaches generate?
Snowy Beaches generate on the Overworld surface where a snowy land biome, such as Snowy Plains or Snowy Taiga, meets an ocean, forming a sandy shore dusted with snow. Ice often skins the shallow water, and the shore frequently sits beside a cold or frozen ocean.
How do I find a Snowy Beach on my seed?
Enter your seed and the map highlights every Snowy Beach at once — click any highlighted patch to read its coordinates. Because they only form on cold coastlines, the highlight spots them far faster than panning a wintry map by eye.
What makes a Snowy Beach different from a Beach?
A Snowy Beach trades the warm sand for a snow-dusted, icy coast — and crucially turtles do not spawn here, unlike on a regular Beach. Veteran players still call it the Cold Beach, the name it carried until the 1.13 update renamed it; in practice it is best as a snowball and sand source and as a launch point to the Frozen Ocean offshore, where polar bears and drowned roam.
Does the Snowy Beach finder work on Bedrock?
Yes — both editions, Minecraft 26.3 on Java and 1.26.51 on Bedrock. Snowy Beaches generate the same way on each, wherever snowy land meets the sea. The map highlights every patch on your seed, free and with no sign-up.
Snowy Beach at a glance
| Bedrock name | Generates in | Climate | How common | Version added |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cold Beach | Overworld surface, on coastlines where snowy land biomes meet ocean | Temperature 0.05 Precipitation Snow | Uncommon — only forms where snowy land biomes meet the ocean, so it depends on the cold coastlines near your seed | One of the original biomes |
Notable for: A top layer of snow for snowballs, sand and sandstone, ice along the waterline, and a cold coast that often borders the Frozen Ocean
