Ancient city finder
Enter your seed to list the ancient cities closest to world spawn or your own coordinates. Each result gives its coordinates, distance and direction. The search runs in your browser with the generation model for Java 1.19.2–26.3 and Bedrock 1.19.0–26.50.

About these results
Each location is a prediction from the generation model for the version you choose. It is not a check in the game. The model applies placement and biome rules, but terrain and later generation can still stop a structure from generating.
World spawn is estimated from the seed. If you know your spawn point, or want results near where you are now, search from your own coordinates.
Pick the version your world was created in. Structures generate when chunks are first loaded, so areas explored in an older version keep that version's structures. Bedrock results come from a separate community model that has not been independently checked against the game.
Ancient City facts
An enormous ruined complex in the Deep Dark, where sculk sensors and shriekers punish careless exploring. Its chests hold echo shards, Swift Sneak books, disc fragments, and sought-after armor trim templates.
Generates deep underground with its main floor at Y=-51. The Deep Dark biome it needs goes with low-erosion terrain, often under mountains and plateaus.
