Seed map
Nether Fortress Finder
On 10,000 seeds of Java 26.3, the nearest one lies a median 272 blocks from the spawn’s point in the Nether (its coordinates divided by 8), and within 450 blocks in nine worlds out of ten.
Enter your seed: the map shows them all, and the list under it gives the 8 nearest to your spawn or to your own coordinates. Tap one to see it on the map.
Drag to move, scroll or pinch to zoom, tap a structure or a place for its coordinates. Keys: arrows, + and −, 0 for spawn.
Tap a structure or a place on the map: its coordinates, its biome and how far it is from spawn show here.
