5 Best Cherry Blossom Seeds for Minecraft 26.3 (Java) With Coordinates

The Minecraft Java 26.3 “Wilderness Bound” update added an autumn-coloured Dappled Forest, poplar trees and abandoned camps, but the pink cherry grove is still the biome most players want to build in. The trouble is that cherry groves only generate in mountain areas, so plenty of new worlds start with none anywhere near spawn.

These five Minecraft 26.3 cherry blossom seeds fix that. Each one spawns you in or near a cherry grove, and each comes with X / Z coordinates for nearby villages, ruined portals, ancient cities and trial chambers, so you can plan a base before you place a block. They also work well as a shared world on your own server, which we cover at the end.

Quick Comparison

What’s New in Minecraft 26.3 for Cherry Grove Hunters

Minecraft Java 26.3 “Wilderness Bound” came out in mid-September 2026. The main additions include:

• Dappled Forest, a new autumn-coloured biome
• Poplar trees and a full poplar wood set
• Abandoned camp structures and new explorer maps
• New decorative blocks, such as cushions, straw beds, and wool and concrete stairs and slabs

None of that replaces the cherry grove, but it gives you a new contrast. A pink spring palette next to an orange and yellow autumn forest makes a great build theme. Once you’re in your world, use /locate biome and look for Dappled Forest in the suggestions to see whether one is nearby.

Version note: A seed list we checked reports that these seeds generate the same worlds on Java 1.21 and newer, including 26.1 to 26.3. Because 26.3 added a new biome and structure, always load the seed once and confirm the cherry grove is where you expect. Chunks you’ve already explored in an existing world will not change.

How to Use These Seeds

1. Open the Minecraft launcher and choose Java Edition 26.3.
2. Select Singleplayer, then Create New World.
3. Open the World tab and paste the number into Seed for the World Generator.
4. Create the world and press F3 to see your coordinates.

Type each seed exactly as shown, including the minus sign on seeds 2 and 3. A missing symbol creates a completely different world.

1. The Big Blossom Spawn

• Seed: 8667245532688270355
• Spawn: 0 / 0, inside a cherry grove

You start inside the blossoms, and there are a lot of them: around 177,000 square blocks of cherry grove lie within 700 blocks of spawn. Snowy slopes and jagged peaks nearby frame the pink forest in white.

Why it’s great: Plenty of room for a large community build, with a village and ruined portal close enough to get started quickly.

2. Meadow Blossom Ridge

• Seed: -6955247321939096141
• Spawn: 0 / 0, in a meadow

You begin in a flower-filled meadow with a cherry grove close by (about 175,000 square blocks within 700 blocks). Plains, forest and birch forest all lie nearby, so you get variety without a long trek.

Why it’s great: Two villages and several dungeons within a short trip make this a strong pick for a long-running survival world.

3. The Twin Grove

• Seed: -6340070757597308395
• Spawn: 0 / 0, inside a cherry grove

Another spawn-in-the-grove world, with a river and open plains close by. Trial chambers lie only about 213 blocks west of spawn.

Why it’s great: Two villages, a ruined portal and an ancient city give a group plenty to do, all near the blossoms.

4. Village by the Petals

• Seed: 8373207529923543984
• Spawn: 16 / 0, in plains

A village sits about 182 blocks south-east of spawn, and the biomes nearby are unusually varied, from birch forest to dark forest and a pale garden. Roughly 137,000 square blocks of cherry grove are within range.

Why it’s great: A village near spawn makes this one of the easiest starts for new players, and the mixed biomes give your world lots of build themes.

5. Jungle Edge Grove

• Seed: 6204658486347601214
• Spawn: 16 / 0, in sparse jungle

A contrast pick: you start in a sparse jungle, but about 92,000 square blocks of cherry grove are still within reach. The trial chambers sit only about 129 blocks away, the closest on this list.

Why it’s great: Early challenge and loot, plus jungle and blossoms in one screenshot.

How to Find the Cherry Grove Fast

Once your world loads, you have a few shortcuts:

• Locate it: Operators can run /locate biome minecraft:cherry_grove to get the nearest cherry grove.
• Teleport to a structure: Use a high Y value and slow falling to land safely.

/tp @s 224 200 48
/effect give @s minecraft:slow_falling 30

Replace the numbers with the X and Z of the place you want.

Host Your Cherry Blossom World on AleForge

A seed is more fun when your friends can join it. Running your world on a hosted server keeps it online around the clock, so everyone can drop in whenever they like. Here’s how to set it up on AleForge:

1. Pick a plan. For a few friends, the Standard Skeleton (4 GB) is a good start. If you plan to add mods or plugins, the Standard Creeper (6 GB) gives you more room. Standard and Premium plans include the Server Properties Editor and Version Manager used below.
2. Choose a nearby location. The Minecraft hosting page tests your ping to each data center in real time.
3. Set the version. In Blacksmith’s Portal, use the Version Manager to pick your Minecraft version. If you don’t see 26.3 yet for your server software, ask support or choose a version that the seed list confirms.
4. Enter the seed. In the Server Properties Editor, paste your seed into level-seed. A seed only applies to a new world, so start fresh or create a new world in the World Manager.
5. Start the server and share the address. Send friends the server address or set up a custom subdomain.
6. Back it up. Take a one-click backup after your first build session and schedule regular backups.

Running plugins or mods? Server software such as Paper, Spigot, Fabric and Forge often needs time to support a new Minecraft version. Check that your plugins and mods support 26.3 before you update a live server, and always back up first.

According to the source list, these Java seeds generate the same worlds on 1.21 and newer, including 26.1 to 26.3. Because 26.3 added a new biome and structure, load each seed once and check the cherry grove before you commit to a base.
