The draw here is below the surface: a nether fortress sits about 148 blocks from the portal you build at spawn, so blaze rods come early. Above ground you start in a Snowy Taiga grove with Snowy Plains about 45 blocks away and a frozen river at about 64. The nearest village is a long trek, about 482 blocks out.
