Is this seed for you?

Players seeking a desert start with relatively close access to unique badlands terrain and a distant Ancient City.

What is good

What to watch out for

Spawn itself is a plain desert, lacking immediate dramatic features.
Key structures like Villages and Desert Pyramids are a bit of a walk.
Rare biomes like Cherry Groves or Jungles are quite far from spawn.
