How the Minecraft World Name Generator Works

It works from 204 names and name parts, which combine into over 1,300 possible results.

The choices:

  • Kind of world:
    • Any, e.g. Redstone Workshop
    • Survival, e.g. Wild Shores
    • Hardcore, e.g. Grave Mistake
    • Creative, e.g. Block Island
    • Cosy, e.g. Toadstool Hearth
    • Funny, e.g. Hungry Again
    • Adventure, e.g. The Sunken Frontier

Each press gives you 8 names. "Show 8 more" adds 8 you haven't seen yet, until the names for the choices you've made run out.

This Minecraft world name generator makes world names to suit how you play: survival, hardcore, creative, cosy, funny or adventure. A world name is the first thing you see on the world list, so it's worth more than "New World (3)".

Minecraft world name ideas

A good Minecraft world name is short, matches how you'll play, and is easy to spot in the world list.

  • Name it for how you'll play: a hardcore world wants something grim, a creative world something grand, and a cosy world something soft.
  • Keep it short. Long names get cut off in the world list.
  • Playing with friends? A name everyone recognises saves "which one was it?" every time you load up.
  • You can change it later from the world's settings (Edit, on Java Edition), so don't worry about getting it perfect.

Survival, hardcore, cosy and funny world names

Each style of world suits a different kind of name.

  • Survival and adventure: names with a sense of a journey, like First Wilderness or Dragon's Saga.
  • Hardcore: one life, so the name might as well be a warning.
  • Creative: big, open names for a world where anything gets built.
  • Cosy: cottagecore and aesthetic names, like Fern Patch or Bumble Village.
  • Funny: for the world everyone knows will end in disaster: Don't Die Again.
