The standout here is an Ancient City about 312 blocks north of spawn, close enough to reach early in a run. You start on the surface in Old Growth Pine Taiga, with a river about 64 blocks away. A village sits about 384 blocks north-east, surrounded by taiga, pine taiga and meadow, and a ruined portal lies about 261 blocks south-east. The stronghold is farther out, about 1441 blocks away, so the endgame takes a longer trek.
