Badlands with a Close Ancient City

Seed · Java 26.2
You spawn at Y=84 in a Desert, but the most distinctive feature is an Ancient City about 668 blocks from spawn. This is a rare find so close to your starting point, offering a significant early-game objective. Plus, under the spawn area, you'll find a decent spread of dripstone caves.
