The Ancient City is the draw here, sitting about 138 blocks west of your spawn in an Old Growth Birch Forest. A Ruined Portal lies about 76 blocks east, so you can grab early loot before heading underground. Farther out, a Shipwreck waits about 319 blocks north and an Ocean Monument about 632 blocks south. Two villages sit within roughly 460 to 490 blocks, which makes supplies easy to find.
