5 best seeds to get gold in Minecraft Java Edition as of November 2021

Every generation of a world in Minecraft is given a number, which is called its “seed”. Seeds are randomly generated and represent only that particular world generation on that specific Minecraft version. However, many times, Minecraft players want to avoid grinding for valuable loot, and choose to spawn in seeds that are rich in loot.

Gold is an important resource in Minecraft. It has high efficiency, meaning that gold tools can mine quite quickly, but their durability is low. However, gold is immensely important in the Nether, being used to avoid Piglins attacking the player on sight, and for trading with them.
