About Ancient Cities
Ancient Cities are large, palace-like structures that generate exclusively within the Deep Dark biome, deep underground (typically around Y= -52). Introduced in Minecraft 1.19 (The Wild Update), they are home to Sculk blocks, Shriekers, Sensors, and the terrifying Warden mob.
These cities contain unique loot, including Echo Shards (used to craft Recovery Compasses), Disc Fragments (for Music Disc 5), Swift Sneak enchanted books, and potentially enchanted diamond gear.
This finder shows the central coordinates (X, Z) where an Ancient City structure attempts to generate. The actual size and shape of the city can vary greatly.
