You start in Plains, and the first thing worth knowing is how much sits close by. A Ruined Portal is about 104 blocks east of spawn, with an Ancient City about 152 blocks east, also on the same line. A Village lies about 220 blocks south, and an Igloo stands about 286 blocks north. Meadow begins about 64 blocks out, and Snowy Slopes about 91 blocks away. It is a compact start where early loot and a deep dungeon are both in reach.
