Blacksmiths are very important in villages, providing essential tools, weapons, and armor needed to survive in Minecraft. Since the 1.14 Village & Pillage update in 2019, having a Blacksmith nearby when starting a new world makes the game easier and more fun. Their chests often contain valuable items, and their trades can give you useful gear. Blacksmiths are also great for giving your adventure a strong start.
Blacksmiths come in three types: Weaponsmiths, Toolsmiths, and Armorers. Each sells their specific items for Emeralds. Building a Blacksmith close to the spawn point can help you fight mobs better, farm more efficiently, and build faster with the right equipment. Below are some of the best World Seeds for Minecraft 1.20 Java Edition that feature Blacksmith villages, along with other structures worth exploring.
