Best Minecraft 1.18 and 1.19 Dripstone Caves Seeds (2022)

We have personally tested all the seeds listed below on Minecraft 1.18 and 1.19 updates, including the Java and Bedrock editions. You can rest assured that all of them are functional and true to their description. Additionally, our list isn’t ranked, so feel free to explore the seeds as per your interests.
Note: This article was last updated on June 24th, 2022 at 5:00 AM PST (or 5:30 PM IST). Also, the final two dripstone cave seeds on this list will work only on the Minecraft 1.19 update as they spawn near the Ancient City.

1. Dripstone Cave Inside Hills (+Bonus 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 Minecraft 1.18.1 Bedrock edition, this seed will serve you some extra goodness. The dripstone caves that expand beyond the snow will lead you right to a stronghold. And this stronghold is built right under a plains village. So, you can even use this dripstone caves seed as one of the best speedrunning seeds for the Minecraft 1.18 update.

2. Lush Dripstone Caves in Minecraft 1.18.3

The new update brings us two new types of caves – dripstone and lush caves, and this Minecraft 1.18.1 seed lets us explore both cave biomes at the same time. We spawn in a dark forest, a hub of hostile mob spawning even during the day. So yeah, ensure you have some weapons ready beforehand to avoid these deadly mobs. If you can successfully avoid the mobs, you will get enough time to explore the area for cave openings.
There are not many cave openings in this seed, 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 of the best Minecraft 1.18.1 dripstone caves seeds makes it easy. It saves you time and effort of looking for a dripstone cave by spawning us right next to it.
We spawn on the edge of the savanna and plains biome. 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. Make sure not to fall into it while exploring.

4. 2000 Blocks of Dripstone Caves

If you only plan to explore dripstone caves, this seed feels custom-made for just that purpose. We spawn in a seemingly regular birch forest next to the taiga biome. You can find plenty of cave openings and even some ravines in the area. All of these openings are connected to the same network. There are only dripstone caves in one direction for at least 2000 blocks from 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.

5. Mineshaft Dripstone Caves

Badlands and their variant biomes are known to have an abundance of mineshafts and gold ores. And with the dripstone caves forming here in this seed, their intersection is inevitable. That’s why we get dripstone caves with exposed mineshafts on both Minecraft 1.18.1 Java and Bedrock editions of the game. The location can vary slightly depending upon the edition of the game you are playing.
But thanks to their abundance, it will be easy to find the mineshafts once you enter the caves. There are plenty of cave openings and even tiny ravines that can directly lead you to these caves. So, all you need to do is be ready to fight off the mobs that spawn inside them. The loot from the mineshaft will help you with the rest.

6. Snowy Dripstone Caves in Minecraft 1.18.3

Our next seed is challenging in a survival world but definitely creates an exciting adventure. It spawns us on a snowy slope with a ton of powdered snow. You should be careful not to trap yourself in it. Then, right next to our spawn is a small terrain opening. It leads directly to a snowy dripstone cave.
The area has multiple cave openings that allow snow to reach into the caves. It creates a unique but delightful experience. But that’s not all. Behind the mountain is a giant empty area encircled by more mountains. If you are looking for a snowy base in the hub of dripstone caves, well, this is the Minecraft 1.18.1 seed for you.

7. Exposed Flooded Caves

This entry on our list of the best Minecraft 1.18.1 dripstone caves seeds is an interesting one. It spawns us in a desert located near a Badlands biome. In the Badlands biome is a massive cave opening that leads to one of the largest caves you can find. Since it’s exposed, you can see it from a distant location too.
But it’s not a regular dripstone cave and is made up of three separate floors. The top two are flooded with water to create an underwater cave. Finally, the lowest one leads to a large and deep dripstone cave. You can find the majority of Minecraft ores just by exploring them.

8. Forest Cave

The final entry on our list of best Minecraft 1.18.1 dripstone caves seeds is unique for two reasons. First, it has a huge dripstone cave which 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. 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 more mobs than the Warden.

10. All Cave Biomes in One Place (Bedrock)

Instead of just featuring a dripstone cave, this Minecraft seed brings all the cave biomes together in one place. This seed also has an Ancient city, which you can find in the Minecraft 1.19 update. So, you can explore lush caves, dripstone caves, regular caves, and even the deep dark in Minecraft 1.19 in the same place. The best part is that it all happens inside an Ancient city.
