In this seed, you'll spawn in a relatively large Plains biome. To the west, you'll find some Savanna, and to the north is a desert, both of which have some elevation, but most of the area around where you start is very flat. It's also helpful that you spawn in right next to a village (in Java edition), so you won't have to go far to get resources or have a place to sleep.^{[1]

If you want a seed that isn't as flat as a pancake, start off with this one. You'll spawn in a Plains biome that is relatively flat, but there's still some elevation to keep the surroundings looking interesting. It's not super elevated, so clearing out space to build won't be too much of a chore. There are also tons of rivers in the area that you can use for navigation.^{[2]

In this seed, you'll spawn on top of a hill in a Plains biome, right next to a village. While this starting area isn't super flat, it is pretty flat, and there's tons of space to build. Spawning on a hill gives you a great vantage point, and it's a good place to build a base so you can survey everything happening around you.^{[4]

In this seed, you'll once again spawn in a Plains biome. While this seed isn't as flat as some of the others, there is still a lot of open, flat area to build, but there's still some elevation to keep things interesting. To the east, you'll see that the elevation rises and then drops down to a little valley with a small Lukewarm Ocean inside of it.^{[5]

This is a great building seed. You'll spawn in a Plains biome right next to a village, and there's another village just to the west, on the other side of a small hill. While there is some elevation here, it's mostly very flat, and the amount of rivers and Meadow biomes makes this spawn very picturesque.^{[6]

In this seed, you spawn in a very flat little section of Plains biome. If you keep going north and west, there's even more flat area with some rivers carving through it. However, if you go south, there are some hills covered in snowy biomes, with a Cherry Grove biome right at the top, which would be perfect for a little base where you can oversee whatever you end up building in the Plains.^{[7]

In this seed, you'll spawn in a very flat Plains biome. You spawn basically on top of a village, and there are a few other villages dotting the area around spawn. This would be a great seed for building a city, as you could incorporate the villages into whatever you end up building. To the west, there's a large snowy area that's also quite flat, and to the east is a hill covered in a large Cherry Grove.^{[8]

If you want a seed that has more than just Plains near spawn, look no further than this one. While you do spawn in the Plains, you'll be very close to a very flat Swamp biome. Nearby, there are also some flat Windswept Hills and Windswept Gravelly Hills, which are perfect if you're looking for something a little different.^{[9]

If you want to build in the Desert, this is the seed for you. You'll spawn in a tiny Plains biome, but if you keep going north, you'll find a flat Savanna that fades into a relatively flat Desert biome.

There's even a Desert Village surrounded by some hills and mountains that could make a good base of operations.^{[11]

In this seed, you'll spawn in a narrow Plains biome. Surrounding this biome are flat Forest, Jungle, and Savanna biomes as well. You'll spawn in a village, and there are a few other villages around too, so you shouldn't be hurting for resources. What makes this seed interesting is the large, hilly island that's half Forest and half Jungle just south of spawn.^{[12]

In this seed, you'll spawn on a hill in a Desert biome. While the area to your west isn't very flat, if you continue east and go a bit further south, you'll find a ton of flat, Desert land to start building on. This is perfect if you're looking for a flat building spawn, but you're sick of all the seeds that start you in Plains biomes.^{[15]

In this seed, you'll spawn in a Plains biome, as usual. If you keep going north, you'll find a Forest that turns into a Birch Forest, and you'll notice that the terrain stays relatively flat here. This is a great space for building, and all of the forested area is great for resources. If you go to the northwest, you'll find a small pocket of Taiga, which is near a small island that's covered in Old Growth Birch Forest.

In this seed, you'll spawn in a Plains biome next to some hills. The area surrounding the hills is pretty flat, but if you keep going further south, the land flattens out even more. There's also a relatively large and flat Sunflower Plains biome to the south as well, which is a little more interesting than building in just a regular Plains biome.
