Best Ancient City Seeds for Minecraft Bedrock 26.52: 14 Worlds

These 14 Ancient City seeds for Minecraft Bedrock 26.52 each put a deep dark city within reach of spawn. Every entry gives the seed, why it earned a place, and a table with the coordinates of spawn and the structures around it. Positions are for Bedrock Edition 26.50 through 26.52, and Bedrock places structures differently from Java, so they are Bedrock-only.

  1. 1.Ancient City Under Jagged Peaks

    A 3D fly-over of a snowy mountainous terrain with rivers and scattered trees. The central area features dramatic grey peaks, with snowy plains and forests spreading outwards.
    Seed 8758033831272753909

    An Ancient City sits about 122 blocks from a Snowy Taiga spawn, so the deep dark is close enough to reach before the first night is over. Ice Spikes wait about 231 blocks out, and an Ocean Ruin stands just 47 blocks from spawn.
