SeedFinder

SeedFinder is a Minecraft structure-finding toolkit for Java and Bedrock players, with a browser console, REST API and an in-game overlay integration. It is best for players who want to scan a known world or search for a Bedrock seed from several structure locations; the missing map preview is a meaningful drawback for anyone who wants a visual way to explore results.

Overview

SeedFinder locates structures near a player position when the world seed is known. Its companion SeedCracker works in reverse, searching for Bedrock seeds that place selected structures near supplied coordinates. Together, they cover both finding points of interest in a world and narrowing down an unknown seed, but SeedCracker needs coordinates for at least four structures, so one landmark is not enough.

Key features

• Structure and terrain search: SeedFinder covers villages, temples, ocean structures, ancient cities, mansions, portals, buried treasure, mineshafts, trail ruins and trial chambers. Terrain analysis adds another way to assess a seed, but there is no map preview; players who prefer visual map browsing should choose a map-oriented alternative.
• Browser console: Scans run locally in the browser through WebAssembly without an account, key or download. The site says the console needs no connection to the Minecraft world or a third-party seed map, which suits players who want to keep the scan on their device.
• REST API: GET and POST requests return JSON, and documentation examples for Python, Lua and Node.js make the API approachable for developers using those languages. The hosted service allows 60 requests per IP per minute, with a maximum radius of 1,000 chunks and 200 results per scan; that is a clear ceiling for automated or especially broad searches.
• Flarial Client overlay: The SeedFinder module can display nearby structures in an in-game overlay, a practical fit for players who want results while playing rather than switching between the game and a browser.
• SeedCracker access: SeedCracker runs in the browser via WebAssembly. Its hosted HTTP API is offline, though its documented HTTP API can run on a local server, so developers seeking a hosted reverse-search endpoint will need another approach.

Pricing

SeedFinder is free, with a Free plan at no cost. Browser tools and the hosted API are included, and there is no free-trial period. The browser console avoids API quotas, while API users must work within the 60-requests-per-IP-per-minute limit, 1,000-chunk scan radius and 200-result cap. The plan is a strong fit for personal scans and modest API use; those limits make it less suitable for sustained high-volume requests.

Platforms

SeedFinder supports web, API, Linux, Windows and self-hosted use, and supports Bedrock edition. Its browser console needs no download, while the self-hosted option is relevant to users who want to run the documented HTTP API locally. The Flarial Client overlay adds an in-game option for nearby-structure results.

Who it's for

Choose SeedFinder if you play Java or Bedrock and want to locate nearby structures from a known seed, or if you have several structure coordinates and want to find a matching Bedrock seed. It also suits developers who want JSON responses and examples in Python, Lua or Node.js, plus Flarial Client users who value an overlay. Look elsewhere if a map preview is central to how you search, or if your project depends on SeedCracker’s hosted HTTP API.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Local browser scans require no account, key or download, and the site says they do not connect to the Minecraft world or a third-party seed map.
• Pros: Broad structure coverage, terrain analysis, an API and a Flarial Client overlay give players and developers several ways to use the tools.
• Cons: There is no map preview, so results are less suited to players who want to inspect a seed visually.
• Cons: Hosted API quotas cap both request frequency and scan size, which may constrain frequent or wide searches.
• Cons: SeedCracker’s hosted HTTP API is offline, limiting convenient remote access to reverse searches.

Verdict

SeedFinder is a good choice for Java and Bedrock players who want local browser scans, broad structure coverage, or an API and overlay around a known world. Its free access and range of entry points are compelling, but the absent map preview, hosted API caps and offline SeedCracker endpoint are solid reasons to choose another tool for visual exploration or hosted reverse-search workflows.
