The standout here is a Pale Garden about 143 blocks from spawn, a rare biome you can reach in a short walk from your start in Birch Forest. Forest and river patches sit about 64 blocks out, with Old Growth Birch Forest and Dark Forest a little farther. An Ancient City lies about 457 blocks east of spawn, and a Ruined Portal is about 272 blocks south-east, so early exploration has clear goals.
