Is this seed for you?

Players seeking a desert start with relatively close access to unique badlands terrain and a distant Ancient City.

Worth it for

  • Eroded Badlands are very close to spawn, offering distinctive scenery.
  • An Ancient City is accessible within a reasonable travel distance.
  • Warm Ocean and River biomes are nearby for early-game water activities.

Worth knowing

  • Spawn itself is a plain desert, lacking immediate dramatic features.
  • Key structures like Villages and Desert Pyramids are a bit of a walk.
  • Rare biomes like Cherry Groves or Jungles are quite far from spawn.
