You spawn at y=66 in a largely unexciting desert. However, if you head about 172 blocks south, you'll find a Mangrove Swamp, a relatively rare biome that is otherwise difficult to locate. This provides a unique early-game resource.

What you land in

You begin your journey standing in a Desert biome at coordinates (8, 8), at an elevation of y=66.
