Is this seed for you?

Players seeking an early Ancient City run from a safe, resource-rich spawn.

Worth it for

  • Ancient City is very close to spawn, allowing for early deepslate and loot access.
  • Dark Forest spawn provides plenty of wood and mushrooms immediately.
  • A variety of biomes are accessible within a few hundred blocks, including a Pale Garden.
  • Dripstone Caves are abundant underground, covering 53% of the sub-surface area.

Worth knowing

  • No village within 900 blocks means a long trek for early trading or farming resources.
  • Rare biomes like Cherry Grove are present but are quite small and far from spawn.
  • The nearest mountain biomes are over 500 blocks away, requiring some travel for scenic bases.
