About this world

Seed 3598728236 is a taiga village seed for Minecraft Java 1.20.1 with a ruined portal in the middle of the village. The village sits at 0, 66, 0 inside a dense spruce forest. The portal ruin, with obsidian in its frame and netherrack around its base, is a few blocks from those coordinates. A river runs past the east side, and a tall rock spire stands to the north.

The spruce trees hide most of the dark wood houses from the side, so the overhead shot gives the clearest view of the layout. The seed is entry 16 on akirby80's list of the top 20 village seeds for 1.20.
