You spawn in a dark forest, and the scary stuff stacks up fast. A pale garden sits about 136 blocks away, and an ancient city lies about 157 blocks out, deep underground in the deep dark where the warden lives. A grove and old growth birch forest sit about 64 blocks off, with frozen peaks about 96 blocks away.
