While looking for a seed where I could start in a jungle, I came across a video by BLacKHaLLoW on YouTube that I wanted to try because of the Jungle Temple. Here's the link for it:
Although the video is from May, I decided to give it a shot and have been having fun with it so far. It's only a little different now with the latest updates but most of the features and terrain is the same. You spawn literally right next to a Jungle Temple at the edge of a large jungle which is also next to a village with 2 pumpkins right behind it and a pool of surface lava. There's sugarcane right next to the village and plenty of crops. There's a small ravine cutting into the jungle very close to spawn as well.
For those who like to explore and find things on their own, I'll list the main features right below so I don't spoil anything for you. For those who don't mind, read on past the break:
Seed: 33979797
Jungle Temple next to spawn at the edge of a large jungle, Ocean Monument, 2 villages (no blacksmiths, 2 libraries in each), surface skeleton spawner, lots of horses, a few pumpkins and melons near spawn. Lots of diamonds near spawn and I'm sure there's plenty more to find as I've barely done any mining.
---------- Spoilers below ---------------
The map has an Ocean Monument and in the video, there's an enchanted book in the temple with Respiration 2, which seems like it was a perfect setup. While the book is still in the temple, it no longer gives you Respiration 2. I've loaded it up 4 times, twice in Survival and twice in Creative (the 1st Survival game got corrupted and had to restart) and the book is the same every time for me. It has Smite 4, Punch 1 and Silk Touch, which is nice. There's a little iron in there too to get you started.
What I really like about this seed is the amount of diamonds that I found right near spawn. There's a hill just East of the Jungle Temple that I decided to dig into to make a temporary shelter during the first day and use to start mining down to level 12 to look for diamonds. It didn't take me very long at all to find a boatload of diamonds. I'll list coordinates below.
With the surface lava and 2 libraries in the village, 2 more in the other village and easy to find diamonds, it was easy to get an enchanting table going very quickly and get myself a Fortune 3 diamond pickaxe which of course I used to get a crazy amount of diamonds.
Another great feature is right behind the jungle temple. In the sand on top of a hill is a surface skeleton spawner with the top exposed. It's covered in sand, but a chest was sticking out so it was easy to spot just walking by. The chest has diamond and iron horse armor and with the amount of horses that spawn nearby, it's great for those who like to ride horses as there's 2 saddles in a chest in a zombie spawner I also found nearby. After setting up the skeleton spawner as an xp grinder and with the availability of books and diamonds, I was enchanting in no time which is, of course, how I got a Fortune 3 pickaxe so fast. The zombie spawner was found next to an underground ravine in a cave system found while mining in the same area and I'll list that below too.
There's another, larger village on the map with a good amount of villagers to trade with as well and I've found one mineshaft. I only found that while in Creative mode, by luck. I was checking out the map to see what the differences were between the video and the current version, right before making this post and just happened to get lucky.
The stronghold is in the same place as in the video and is marked by a single well next to the ocean with no village around it but isn't too far from spawn. I haven't explored it yet but went around it and is broken up by a ravine that cuts through it that is not open to the surface.

Surface Skeleton Spawner: X: 136 Z: 190
Zombie Spawner: X: 163 Y: 30 Z: 138
Mineshaft: X: -292 Z: -114 - this is below a very small sand island that you probably wouldn't normally dig down on, in an underground ravine. I probably would have never found it on survival.
Pumpkins: X: 286 Z: 360 & X: 107 Z: 358
Melons: X: 206 Z: 265 & X: 172 Z: 217
Diamonds:

- almost all the above are near spawn (48 blocks), there's a cave system that leads to some.

Sorry for the long read, that's just how I write. Hopefully some of you enjoy this seed as I have. I haven't even explored the entire thing yet and like I said, I haven't mined that much at all compared to other worlds I've played on so I'm sure there are plenty more diamonds to find. Unfortunately, there's none to be had from chests that I've found. If you notice any mistakes I made in coordinates, let me know so I can update the OP. Thanks!
Edit: added 2 more diamond locations. Also, in latest update, tu 43, the village near spawn is gone.
I didn't write any coordinates down for Lapis but It's all around the diamond locations. Just do some branch mining around those coordinates at level 12 and you'll find some. I have about 5 stacks + some in a chest and I've used a lot for enchanting. That's with a fortune 3 pick though. There's a cave system that you will uncover mining those locations around level 12 and I know for a fact there is some exposed lapis there.
Note for anyone else reading: the latest update, tu 43, changed some things about the seed. I didn't check everything, but took a quick look in a new game on Creative and the village near spawn was gone. The temple is still there and spawn point is the same but the book in the temple was no longer there (for me anyway). Decent amount of gold though with the new loot tables and some more iron, lots of bone and zombie flesh but not much else.
So after TU47 that just came out, a lot of your coordinates are off. Monument isn't correct (haven't found it yet) the surface skeleton spawner is a spider spawner now. Neither of the villages are a posted coordinates. Bummer!

Do you know where I can find lapis with this seed ?

I have about 5 stacks + some in a chest and I've used a lot for enchanting. That's with a fortune 3 pick though.

There's also one diamond above a lava pool the coordinate is X: 231, Y: 14, Z: 146 (found in creative)
There is some lapis at X: 226, Y: 17, Z: 140
So after TU47 that just came out, a lot of your coordinates are off. Monument isn't correct (haven't found it yet) the surface skeleton spawner is a spider spawner now. Neither of the villages are a posted coordinates. Bummer!
