Is this seed for you?

Players seeking an early Ancient City run from a safe, resource-rich spawn.

What is good

Dark Forest spawn provides plenty of wood and mushrooms immediately.
A variety of biomes are accessible within a few hundred blocks, including a Pale Garden.
Dripstone Caves are abundant underground, covering 53% of the sub-surface area.

What to watch out for

No village within 900 blocks means a long trek for early trading or farming resources.
Rare biomes like Cherry Grove are present but are quite small and far from spawn.
The nearest mountain biomes are over 500 blocks away, requiring some travel for scenic bases.
