Copy it into Minecraft 26.3 (Java).

You start in desert, and the best reason to move is a village about 152 blocks east of spawn. The ground around it is mostly desert with a strip of river, so you get water beside the houses instead of bare sand. Two more villages sit about 402 and 552 blocks out. Badlands begin roughly 607 blocks away, and a ruined portal lies about 274 blocks south.
