You spawn on desert sand at y=66, with a river about 96 blocks away. The real draw is Eroded Badlands, about 205 blocks out, the rarest biome in reach. Jungle sits near 226 blocks, savanna near 258, and the nearest village is about 393 blocks away, so the start is plain and the payoff is a short walk.
