I don't want a seed, I'm trying to find one in my existing world. Thanks for trying to help, though
Looking for a ravine can work. If you get a really big one (which are rare, admittedly) it'll usually intersect with a mineshaft. The seeds I've looked at also seem to suggest that mineshafts are possibly a bit more likely under taiga biomes, as well; but maybe that's just me. Worth a shot, though.

Does anyone have any tips on finding Mineshafts legit? I want to find some melon seeds so I can make some health potions
@Epicness1324 Yep, if you are willing to do a lot of scouting. In certain biomes they grow very big, although this is influenced by your world seed. Since they grow so big, the shortcut is to find them exposed. Being inland helps, because water limits their size, which lowers your chances. The best luck I've had is with Extreme Hills and neighboring biomes.
When you are aboveground, scout for biomes with broken terrain everywhere - any area with lots of small pitfalls into caves. Ideally, keep looking until you find a large surface canyon, or a junction of multiple canyons. Odds are good, you will be able to find the mineshaft from the surface, just by eyeballing carefully down into the canyon.
If the best you can find is just heavily broken terrain, you're in for a search. I hope you like finding natural cave systems by process of elimination (if it's dark, go there and add torches; repeat).
If you are already belowground and want to stay there, obviously that's trickier, but if you can get to any big nexus of underground canyons, or canyons that open to the sky, that's a good start. Also, huge caverns at the depth of lava-lakes, and I mean huge ones, will very often cut into an abandoned mineshaft.

Thank you! I will use this and hopefully find a mineshaft
Mineshafts are rare, and random. There is no magic rule, like walk south ten steps from the biggest oak tree on the highest hill or whatever. It's just random.
So the only "strategy" is: dig a lot. I don't think they spawn above 64, and I've found them all the way down to bedrock.
In my opinion, it's not worth the search. They're really not that important, unless you desperately need wood for some reason.

Given that I very much favour the underground bunker approach, I value mineshafts, because I can make a base in such a way that I don't have to dig out the entire thing myself. I can make the equivalent of Direwolf's 9x9s, by finding a mineshaft complex with three parallel passages, and simply cutting out the intervening (usually only one block thick) walls.
You also will get a lot of resources from an ams, but they are a lot of work to strip.
I am ninja'd far too often.
This might help. It's a seed. The chests have melon seeds, in a mineshaft.
16+ in my whole Minecraft gaming.
i do found 1 and i did see a chest right there..
it contains 5 diamonds and 5 gold bars..
it was the hapiest day of my life!
anyway I do have some tips for you..
well you should dig on surfaces that has water or Stones Best also to
follow tracks of coal..
also if you find a wood underground it might be located there..
THis keeps me digging and getting 30 diamonds and 50+ gold bars!

Melons. The easiest food once you have seeds
