Frequently asked questions
How do I find an ancient city?
Enter your seed and the map jumps to the nearest ancient city, with its X and Z coordinates. They are deep underground, around Y -50, so dig down carefully or follow a cave into the Deep Dark.
Where do ancient cities spawn?
Only in the Deep Dark, the cave biome at the bottom of the world, which usually sits under mountains. Slide Height down on the map to see where the Deep Dark is.
What is in an ancient city?
Sculk shriekers that summon the Warden, and some of the best loot in the game: Swift Sneak enchanted books, echo shards for a recovery compass, disc fragments, enchanted golden apples and the Silence armor trim.
Are these positions checked?
Yes. We tested the map against Mojang's own server on more than 2,000 possible city spots across 13 seeds, and it matched every real ancient city with no false ones.
