How to Use This Seed

1. Open Minecraft Java Edition (version 1.21 — Tricky Trials).
2. Click Singleplayer (Java) or Play (Bedrock), then Create New World.
3. Under world creation options, find the Seed field.
4. Enter the seed value: -239479897426402699
5. Create the world. You will spawn near coordinates 0, 0 in a Forest biome.

You start in a forest at 0, 0, and an ancient city sits directly below your spawn in the deep dark. For a first hardcore run that is both the prize and the trap: sculk sensors, shriekers, and the Warden are waiting under your feet. Above ground the land is calm and mixed, with a village, a trial chamber, and two ruined portals all inside about 450 blocks. You can build a safe base first and decide when to risk the depths.

Around Spawn

Spawn is a plain forest tile at 0, 0, so you have oak trees for wood and open ground to place a bed and a few chests on your first night. The surrounding land is varied rather than extreme: plains, birch forest, savanna, swamp, and taiga are all in range, along with beaches and ocean edges. Because the ancient city is directly under 0, 0, do not dig straight down here. Mine outward and sideways instead, and keep torches and a water bucket on you before you go anywhere near the deep dark that holds the city.

Structure Walkthrough

The ancient city is at 0 blocks, straight down from spawn in the deep dark, so treat it as a late-game target, not a starter dungeon. A ruined portal sits 255 blocks away, giving early obsidian and a possible Nether route. A trial chamber is 375 blocks out for combat loot, and a village is 430 blocks away for beds, food, and trades. A second ruined portal is at 445 blocks. Farther out you reach buried treasure at 490, an ocean ruin at 500, and a shipwreck at 510. Three more trial chambers cluster between 530 and 550 blocks, plus a second shipwreck at 555.

Playstyle Tips

Skip the ancient city until you have full iron or diamond armor, a bow, and wool blocks to muffle sculk sensors. First head to the village 430 blocks out for a bed, bread, and a walled starting base. Grab the ruined portal at 255 blocks for obsidian, then work the nearer trial chamber at 375 blocks for gear before you attempt the deep dark. Carry wool, a water bucket, and blocks to pillar out of danger. Never dig straight down at spawn, since the city is right below you.
