If you're looking for a frosty adventure, this seed delivers a sprawling frozen ocean with plenty of icy biomes. The most notable find is an Ancient City located about 520 blocks from your spawn point, offering a substantial challenge and valuable loot once you're geared up.

Beyond the frozen depths, you'll also find a Pillager Outpost about 434 blocks away, a good target for early game raids. For those seeking a more cozy start, a Village lies about 468 blocks to the west, providing a potential home base and resources.

This seed caters to players who enjoy exploring cold biomes and are ready to venture a bit from spawn for significant rewards. The terrain around spawn is somewhat mild, but more dramatic icy peaks are within a manageable distance.

What you land in

You spawn directly in a Grove biome at an elevation of y=125, which is mostly flat but transitions quickly into snowy taiga. The immediate area offers a few trees for wood and is adjacent to a stony shore, but it's not particularly dramatic. You'll need to move a bit to find more varied terrain or structures.

Structures nearest to spawn

While the very closest structure is a Mineshaft about 118 blocks away, the more interesting finds are a bit further. Look for a Pillager Outpost about 434 blocks from spawn, or an Ancient City around 520 blocks away, which is a great target once you're prepared.
