Seed 2422215857861955386 is a Java Edition world where the starting village overlaps an Ancient City directly beneath spawn, at coordinates 19, -50, -7. Instead of the usual walk to the deep dark, players land within reach of sculk structures and loot chests from the first few minutes, which makes this a genuinely unusual starting scenario rather than a typical plains or desert village seed.
Spawn and starting biome
- Seed value: 2422215857861955386.
- Edition: Java Edition, versions 1.20 through 1.21.11.
- Spawn coordinates: X: 19, Y: -50, Z: -7.
- The village sits above and overlaps the Ancient City, so deep dark terrain, sculk sensors, and Sculk Catalysts are close to the surface structures.
- Jagged Peaks terrain is nearby, giving the area vertical relief above the underground city.

The spread of five villages plus two woodland mansions gives this seed enough trading and loot variety for a full survival playthrough, but the real draw is the Ancient City sitting right under the starting point. Players who want deep dark loot such as Echo Shards and Swift Sneak books without a long overworld trek can reach the city almost immediately, while more cautious players can wall off the entrance and treat the rest of the seed as a normal village start until they are ready.

Questions about Ancient City Village Spawn Seed.
5 questions
What is the seed for the Ancient City village spawn seed?
The seed value is 2422215857861955386. Enter it exactly in the Java Edition world creation seed field with default world settings to match the listed spawn and structure coordinates.
Which Minecraft version does this seed support?
The source confirms this seed generates consistently across Java Edition 1.20 through 1.21.11. Using an earlier or unrelated version can shift or remove some structures, so stick to that version range for reliable results.
Does this seed work on Bedrock Edition?
This seed is confirmed for Java Edition only. Bedrock uses a different world generation algorithm, so the same seed number will not reliably reproduce the same Ancient City and village overlap on Bedrock.
Is it safe to spawn directly above an Ancient City?
It requires caution rather than being unsafe outright. Sculk sensors and shriekers near spawn can summon the Warden if triggered repeatedly, so move quietly, avoid unnecessary noise, and consider walling off the entrance until you are geared up.
Where are the other villages in this seed?
Five additional villages generate around spawn: plains villages at 179,-720, 842,-701, and a plains/cherry grove village at 784,-272, plus taiga villages at -912,368 and -897,-748. Two woodland mansions and a stronghold are also within range.
