Okay, I've noticed there have been a lot of seed boasting-and for a good reason; There are tons of awesome seeds out there. But what about the opposite? The worst seeds?
Seeds that don't look good. Seeds that are difficult to live on. Seeds with little material.
You know, the worst seeds.
If you have a candidate for the worst seed, you may post about it here. You may also approve of other terrible seeds, which will add to their votes as "The worst seed".
Note: Only seeds with at least 2 votes will appear in the opening post.
I'm going to kick this off with my personal "worst seed", Rigel. It's full of Ice, it starts you on an Island of sand, little trees or material on sight, and is just kinda boring. It's an absolute spawn, so you will always spawn on that tiny island-You won't luck out and spawn somewhere cool.
On the flipside, it has a lot of flat space for building, and mobs don't spawn on the ice, so those are some things going against it.
Ok, here is the worst minecraft seed I have found thus far - You are spawned on an almost completely flat expanse of sand with one block sticking out, and I have spotted one tree from the starting point. It's also in the middle of an ocean.
Seed - Eureka
Here's what it looks like from the starting point -
The seed Eureka used in MC 1.5.2 now produces a Plains biome with a ravine close to spawn and a cave with coal and iron readily available. Other biomes are close by. That is, it's not an island.

If you aren't part of the solution, then you obviously weren't properly dissolved.
The seed is about 90% water and the spawning island is the only habitable place, but its hard to build a home because the spawn island is a jungle with barely any food source at all! Warning! DO NOT USE THIS SEED

The seed "-1984348358409562691" in 1.6.4 doesn't even have any land at spawn - you just spawn at the bottom of the ocean with a couple small treeless and mobless islands nearby (the small islands in 1.6.4 oceans are part of the ocean biome so they will never have passive mobs), in the middle of the square to the left (spawn chunks), which is where the game gave up the "land search" it uses in cases where the initial spawn point is underwater (0,0 if there are no valid spawn biomes nearby; these seeds will have spawn at 0,0 in AMIDST since it doesn't perform this search). There are a couple Mushroom Islands visible, near the top-center and right, close to 0,0 (the land search ignores them since it also requires grass blocks):
(There are no seeds up currently)

It's not the worst, as there is some interesting stuff farther away from the spawn, but the spawn is horrible. Snow and ice everywhere.

Sometimes, you just need a little more cave.
Nuff said! LoL

Seed:Foster
seed:OH BOY
version:1.6.4
it's a really tiny island and it have NO TREES!
EDIT:
Has*
Don't mind me, just correcting a mistake from 10 years ago
Thanks for the good seed, but wrong thread lol. I tried it, and got a nice forest as spawn.
Bad seed for minecraft 1.16.4 Java edition is Minecraft
Yup you read that right Minecraft is a bad Minecraft seed
Why is a "Minecraft" a bad seed in 1.16.4?
Granted you spawn on a treeless island.
However there is a buried treasure southwest of the island and a shipwreck north of the island.
Now, in 1.12.2 "Minecraft" "-1595926131" that island has nothing near it at all.
That is definitely a bad seed.

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?
