How this list is made

Each seed here has an ancient city within 350 blocks of spawn horizontally — dig down carefully into the deep dark and you're there. Ancient cities generate deep underground (the city floor sits around Y -51), so the coordinates on the card are where to dig, not where to walk.

City chests are the only source of Swift Sneak books and hold echo shards, enchanted golden apples and disc fragments — top-tier loot if you can avoid waking the warden.

Want to scout any of these worlds first? Open a seed in the interactive seed map to pan the full world, toggle structures and copy teleport commands.

Playing a different version? This list is also verified separately for 26.3 · 1.21.4 · 1.20 · 1.19 — worldgen changes between versions, so each list has its own generation version.

Frequently asked questions

How do I reach the ancient city?
Head to the card's X and Z, then dig down (not straight down) toward Y -51. You'll pass through the deep dark — sneak near sculk sensors and shriekers, because four shrieker triggers summon the warden.
What loot do ancient cities have?
Swift Sneak enchanted books (found nowhere else), echo shards for recovery compasses, enchanted golden apples, music disc fragments and plenty of enchanted gear.
Do these seeds work on Bedrock?
No — these are Java Edition seeds. Bedrock places its ancient cities elsewhere for the same seed.
