If you are looking to get into a Mineshaft quickly, this seed is worth a look. You will find one about 97 blocks from your spawn point, making early resource gathering much easier. This is a solid option for players who prefer to delve underground soon after starting their world.

While the immediate spawn area is a simple forest, you'll find a variety of ocean biomes close by. The nearest Shipwreck is about 149 blocks away, offering another early point of interest and potential loot. It's a good balance of easily accessible underground and surface features.

What you land in

You spawn directly in a Forest biome at surface height y=66. The terrain around you is relatively flat, covered in trees, making for a straightforward start. You'll have immediate access to wood resources right where you land, with a beach just 32 blocks away.

Structures nearest to spawn

Beyond the nearby Mineshaft, you have several other structures within a reasonable distance. A Shipwreck is about 149 blocks away and a Ruined Portal around 173 blocks. For a bigger challenge, Trial Chambers are about 283 blocks from spawn.
