You land in a very cold world with snowy plains stretching out around you, but a warming thought might be the village just about 79 blocks away at 64, 64. It is an easy walk to find shelter and early resources, making for a smooth start despite the chilly temperatures.

If you prefer a more striking landscape, head about 231 blocks from spawn to discover a beautiful Ice Spikes biome. This rare and visually distinctive biome offers unique building opportunities and a dramatic backdrop for your early explorations. You will also find Frozen Ocean nearby.
