On seed 10022 you get the best of both worlds: an ancient city generation attempt at block (8, 56) and a village at block (88, 40) — both inside 5 chunks of world spawn.
- Ancient city: attempt at chunk (0,3) / block (8,56) — ~3 chunks from spawn.
- Village: attempt at chunk (5,2) / block (88,40) — ~5 chunks from spawn.
- Structure layout verified with ChunkScope’s structure algorithm (identical Java/Bedrock 1.18+).
Why this is great
- A village right at spawn for beds, food and early trading.
- The ancient city for deep-dark loot, sculk, Swift Sneak and a warden-free farm site.
- A near-perfect endgame-pace start: villagers feed you while you gear up for the deep dark.
Tips
- The village gives iron tools and bread fast; convert a villager into a librarian early.
- Dig the ancient city from the surface to Y -40 — the deep dark is below.
- The Seed Map on ChunkScope shows both structures — enter 10022 and toggle the Structures layer to plan your route.
Load seed 10022 in the Seed Map to inspect both structures before you start.
