Quick answer: Windswept Forests are steep, rugged mountains cloaked in spruce and oak trees, with emerald ore and exposed stone among the slopes. This finder highlights every Windswept Forest on your seed, free, Java & Bedrock.

Where do Windswept Forests generate?

Windswept Forests generate on the Overworld surface as tall, steep mountains covered in spruce and oak trees, often rising straight out of neighbouring plains or forest. The terrain is rugged and cliff-heavy, with bare stone and gravel showing through wherever the slope is too sharp for trees to take hold.

How do I find a Windswept Forest on my seed?

Drop in your seed and the map highlights every Windswept Forest - click any highlighted patch to read its coordinates. Head there for a dramatic mountain base and to mine the emerald ore that these highland biomes generate.

Why visit a Windswept Forest?

Windswept Forests are one of the few biomes where emerald ore generates, making them a prime place to mine emeralds for villager trading. The steep wooded peaks - which older guides still call the Wooded Mountains - also supply spruce and oak timber, exposed coal and stone, and commanding cliffs for a scenic build.

Does the Windswept Forest finder work on Bedrock?

Yes - both editions, Minecraft 26.2 on Java and 1.26.30 on Bedrock. This biome was renamed from Wooded Mountains to Windswept Forest in the 1.18 update on both editions. The map highlights every patch on your seed, free and with no sign-up.
