You will find a village about 138 blocks from spawn, a great find for gathering resources and trading early on. Head west and slightly north to reach it, where you can stock up on supplies and prepare for explorations into the snowy landscape that surrounds your starting point.

Just about 192 blocks east, you can also locate an igloo. This structure offers a brewing stand, a crafting table, and sometimes a chest with useful items, including a golden apple, making it a valuable stop for initial gear and enchantments. The igloo and village provide a solid foundation before venturing further.
