โš’๏ธ Blacksmith๐ŸงŸ Zombie Village๐Ÿ”ฅ Nether Fortress๐ŸŒˆ All Biomes

A mostly taiga and ocean spawn with a nearby abandoned village and convenient Nether access.

A top-down view of a varied landscape, with a dense taiga forest covering much of the land, meeting expansive cold oceans. Snow-capped trees are visible to the north, and a winding river cuts through the forest. The spawn marker sits within the green forest near the water's edge.
