Around spawn

You start at coordinates 0, 0 in a stony peaks biome, so expect bare stone slopes and sharp elevation rather than flat ground. This is not an island spawn, so you have solid land to build on from the first minute. The surrounding terrain mixes peaks, jagged peaks, frozen peaks, and meadow at higher altitudes, dropping toward savanna, desert, and several ocean types at the edges. Because the ancient cities and the nearest ruined portal are so close, treat spawn as a staging point: gather stone and food here, set a bed, and use it as your return anchor for deep dark trips.

Structure walkthrough

The nearest structure is a ruined portal just 57 blocks out, an easy first stop for obsidian and loot. From there, the first ancient city is only 80 blocks away, with a second at 249 blocks. Trial chambers sit at 329 blocks and a village at 373. A third ancient city waits at 418 blocks, followed by a jungle temple at 494 and a fourth ancient city at 500. Beyond that ring, three more ruined portals appear at 563, 595, and 622 blocks, with a second trial chambers at 617. That gives you four ancient cities inside 500 blocks of origin.

Playstyle tips

Prepare before touching the deep dark. Because the closest ancient city is only 80 blocks from spawn, it is tempting to rush, but wool, snowballs, and food come first so you can move silently past the warden. Loot the 57-block ruined portal early for obsidian and gold. Mine stone directly at your stony peaks spawn for tools, then set a bed as a respawn anchor before each city run. Save the trial chambers at 329 for after you have some armor, since its mobs hit harder than a village raid.
