Your world seed map · Java 26.3
Enter your world seed, generation version and dimension to locate biomes and structures. Ore deposits still require the depth and tool instructions below.

Before you go
- Iron pickaxe or better.
- Furnace or blast furnace and fuel for ingots.
- Safe travel supplies and inventory space.
Farming steps
- Locate a Badlands biome and establish a safe route through the terrain.
- Search exposed stone and slopes for gold ore before beginning a mine.
- If needed, mine through stone layers within the biome's Y=32–256 band and inspect exposed blocks.
- Mine gold ore with an iron pickaxe or better and collect raw gold.
- Return to a furnace and place raw gold in the input with fuel below.
- Collect the ingots and use them in your intended recipe or store them for later.
- Repeat the search through additional terrain if the project needs more gold.
- Badlands have an additional ore-generation batch in this band, so the biome is a useful alternative to other gold routes.
- Keep raw gold separate until you have furnace fuel and a clear ingot requirement.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeatable as a mining trip, but mined deposits are finite.
Common mistakes
- Searching outside the biome for the Badlands-specific advantage: confirm you are in Badlands terrain.
- Using an inadequate pickaxe: bring iron tier or better.
- Forgetting the processing step: smelt raw gold when the project requires ingots.
When to stop or switch
Stop when the required ingots are ready; leave the biome before supplies or inventory space become limiting.
