10 Best Dripstone Caves Seeds in Minecraft

Dripstone caves are easily the most unique type of caves in the game. Unlike many otherMinecraft biomes, they have unique features that stay true to their real-world counterparts. We have gathered the best dripstone cave seeds for both Minecraft versions, which are sure to keep you entertained for hours in the game. So, let’s stop beating around the bush and venture right into the dripstone caves of Minecraft!

Last updated on February 20, 2024 @ 2:00 AM PST to include several new seeds and test the existing ones

1. Dripstone Cave Inside Hills (+Bonus Bedrock Feature)

Our first seed features an interesting spawn location with snowy plains surrounding us. Moreover, there are small hills and dozens of cave openings all around. These hills are made up of dripstone caves that expand their network all inside them. You can select any opening, and it will lead you to these caves.

If you are on the Bedrock edition, this seed will serve you some extra goodness. The dripstone caves that expand beyond the snow will lead you right to astronghold. This stronghold is built right under a plains village. So, you can even use this dripstone caves seed as one of the bestspeedrunning seeds in Minecraft.

2. Lush Dripstone Caves

The Minecraft 1.18 update brought two new types of caves – dripstone and lush caves, and this seed lets us explore both cave biomes at the same time. We spawn in a dark forest, which can be a little dangerous even in the daytime.

Moreover, there are not many cave openings in the area, so keep your eyes peeled. Exploring these caves will then lead you to discover a network of dripstone caves. These dripstone caves merge into lush caves creating an iconic scene (screenshot above). Feel free to explore the lush caves further as their network starts to expand after this intersection.

3. Mountainside Exposed Caves

A major part of discovering and exploring caves revolves around digging a lot. Fortunately, this entry on our list makes this task easy by eliminating digging completely. It saves you the time and effort of looking for a dripstone cave by spawning us right next to it.

We spawn on the edge of the forest biome with savanna and plains biomes nearby. Right next to us is a giant but hollow mountain. On one side of the mountain is a river, while the other has a huge cave opening. This opening leads us right into one of the largest dripstone caves in Minecraft.

It goes to the peak of the mountain but also is very deep. You’ll find a geode, plenty of ores, and even a hugecopper ore vein. Moreover, thanks to the increased diamond ore generation, you will be able to mine lots of diamond ores in the deepslate layers of the cave.

4. Seed with the Largest Dripstone Cave System Ever

If you only plan to explore dripstone caves, this seed feels custom-made for just that purpose. We spawn in a massive tall birch forest next to the taiga biome, which is honestly beautiful all on its own. You can find plenty of cave openings and even some ravines in the area, including a massive crater exposed to the sky. All of these openings are connected to the same network.

There areonly dripstone caves in one direction for at least 2000 blocksfrom your spawn point. Not only that, we also get a whole variety of them. Some of these spawn next to lush caves, while others have mineshafts in them. A few caves in the area are even underwater caves expanding their variety even further. Just make sure tomake a potion of water breathing, as it’ll help make this exploration safer.

5. Ruined Portal Inside of a Huge Dripstone Cave (Java)

If you love coming across unusual structure generation in Minecraft, this dripstone case seed is for you. You spawn in quite a big wooded badlands biome that will provide you with quite a lot of wood. However, the food is pretty hard to come by. The wooded badlands also spread over a large area to create some absolutely jaw-dropping mountain landscapes.

But let’s now talk about the caves. Right below the spawn point, there is a massive dripstone cave network with a patch of thedeep dark biome. If you follow the tunnels, they’ll eventually lead you to a never-ending dripstone cave with a mineshaft and a naturally generated ruined portal.

Even though the loot is nothing to brag about, it’s always fun to find a structure appear in a strange location. However, that’s not all, because the cave goes even deeper until it finally reaches Y level = -54, which is almost thebest level to find diamonds.

6. Dripstone Caves Below a Cherry Grove Biome

So, you’re looking for beautiful dripstone caves, but also want the surface to be just as cool? Well, this seed will give you just that. You’ll spawn in a calm forest biome where you’ll easily get geared up.

If you head northeast from your spawn point, you will come acrossfour separate cherry grove biomesrelatively close to each other. One of them is pretty small though but has a fun generation feature.

The plains village from the adjacent meadow biome appears on the edge which causes some village houses to end up in the pink biome. Though, that’s not all, because there are dripstone caves right below the village.

This quite massive dripstone cave system spreads far, so all the other cherry grove biomes generate above it. Also, the village in the Java edition is at the edge between the two highland biomes, but in the Bedrock Edition, it’s just below the grove. Though, that doesn’t make the view any less beautiful.

7. Ancient City Surrounded by Dripstone Caves

Now this is something you just have to see if you’re playing on Java edition. Our spawn point is in a decently sized desert biome. Thankfully, there are a couple of villages nearby where you can get food and company. When you’re ready for an adventure, follow the coordinates shown below that’ll lead you to a massive and we mean massive cave where you could easily and safely fly around with yourelytra.

There, you will find an ancient city in the center that’s surrounded by dripstone caves on one side. The cave created a ring of overhangs above the city, which are covered with pointed dripstone and dripstone blocks. Not only that but the ceiling is basically made up of pointed dripstone, creating quite a scary scenery when you’re at the bottom.

8. Forest Cave

This dripstone caves seed is unique for two reasons. First, it boasts a massive dripstone cave that is always fun to explore. But that feature is common among most of the seeds on our list. What makes this seed better is the fact that you can directly walk into it.

This seed spawns the cave right into the forest, such that it almost looks custom-built. Some of the cave features spawn higher than the forest’s trees, creating an iconic location. The forest will give you plenty of wood and food to survive in this sandbox game. Meanwhile, the caves here are made up of a variety of ores. These features make this seed one of the best survival seeds too.

9. Ancient Dripstone City (Java)

Dripstone caves don’t generate a structure on their own making them pretty barren and lifeless. But our next seed fixes that issue slightly by making a dripstone cave share an Ancient city with the deep dark biome. The result is a bizarre but captivating-looking city that, thanks to dripstone features, can spawn moreMinecraft mobsthan theWarden.

Moreover, this entry does differ a lot from the ones we mentioned above since dripstone blocks intersect with the city generation. So, on one side of the city, you will find lots of dripstone even replacing some parts of the ancient city, which does make it harder to raid.

10. All Cave Biomes in One Place (Bedrock)

Instead of just featuring a dripstone cave, this seed brings all the cave biomes together in one place. There is also an ancient city in the deep dark biome attached to the other two cave biomes. So, you can explore lush caves, dripstone caves, regular caves, and even the deep dark altogether. The best part is that it all happens inside an ancient city (Rawrrr saysWarden). So, good luck exploring!

If you want to explore the rarest and most bizarre dripstone caves in Minecraft, these seeds have you covered. But if you wish to explore the rest of the world, our list ofbest Minecraft seedsmight be a better fit. We have also covered thebest lush cave seedsfor tropical cave lovers. With that said, these dripstone cave seeds are going to be a cool adventure for you in the game. So, don’t waste time and start exploring!

Well, there’s not the best layer for dripstone caves. They usually generate low down in the world, but you’ll also just as easily find them in the stone layers. Either way, they’re pretty common, so you’ll come across one sooner or later.

There are a few reasons you’d want to find these caves. First and foremost, they are the source of dripstone blocks. Thanks to pointed dripstone, you can farm lava, make dripstone blocks, make clay blocks from mud, or make some dangerous and addictive mini-games. Dripstone caves are also an amazing source of copper ore, as it is generated more frequently. In addition, drowned mob spawns are more common, so you can easily get even more copper or even a trident.

Yes, diamonds spawn in every biome in Minecraft, but you may have a harder time spotting them due to all the dripstone and water.
