Minecraft Cherry Grove Ancient City Seeds
By the ChunkScan Team · Updated August 2026
An ancient city lies far below the surface in the deep dark, and the deep dark is most common under mountains, where cherry groves grow on the slopes. These seeds give you a pink build site above and one of the best loot structures below. Every seed below was scanned and has a cherry grove and an ancient city near spawn. Of the Java 26.3 seeds we scanned, 24,190 have the biome within 512 blocks of spawn and the structure within 1,000 blocks; for half of them the structure is 576 blocks away or closer. Versions with at least 12 such seeds in our scan: 1.20, 1.21, 26.2 and 26.3.

A pink surface base over deep dark loot
Ancient city chests can hold enchanted golden apples, swift sneak books, echo shards for recovery compasses, the disc fragment for music disc 5 and diamond gear. The grove gives cherry wood and a calm surface spot to build. The warden can be summoned in the city, so go in sneaking and with wool or carpets to muffle steps.
Is the ancient city under the cherry grove?
Not always. Ancient cities generate deep underground in the deep dark, so the surface above can be any biome. On these seeds the city is within 1,000 blocks of spawn, but it may lie under a different biome than the grove. Open the seed map to see both positions.
Which version do I need?
Ancient cities need 1.19 or later and cherry groves need 1.20 or later, so use 1.20 or newer. Create the world on the version listed with the seed.
