Is this seed for you?

Players seeking an early ancient city or a quick village start.

Worth it for

  • Ancient City not too far from spawn
  • Village and Ruined Portal are relatively close
  • Lush Caves under the spawn area
  • Several forest biomes for wood resources

Worth knowing

  • Spawn itself is a bit plain
  • No truly rare biomes directly at spawn
  • Ocean Monuments and Jungle Temples are quite a trek
