You'll land in a vast snowy biome, but don't let the frosty beginning deter you. About 159 blocks to the southeast, you'll find a village ready for trade and shelter. This proximity to a safe haven makes for a much smoother early game, allowing you to stock up on essentials before venturing further into the cold.

Beyond the immediate warmth of the village, a more adventurous challenge awaits. About 264 blocks east of spawn, a trial chambers structure offers combat and loot for those ready to test their skills. This relatively close location means you won't have to travel far to find your first major dungeon experience.

While the immediate spawn area is a bit flat, the landscape quickly becomes more dramatic. Frozen Peaks and Jagged Peaks are within a few hundred blocks, offering scenic views and potential locations for a scenic mountain base. The world is full of varied terrain for exploration.

What you land in

You spawn directly on a snowy plains biome at y=115. The terrain around spawn is mostly flat, covered in a blanket of snow. You'll find a few scattered spruce trees and frozen rivers nearby, providing some basic resources within arm's reach for your initial survival.

Structures nearest to spawn

You'll find several structures quite close to spawn, making early progression straightforward. A village is about 159 blocks away, and trial chambers are about 264 blocks east. For those seeking deeper challenges, an ancient city is about 320 blocks south.
