what are your must have supplies for the ancient city?!
This video
Lots of wool
a diamond sword and a dream
I like to bring an enchhanting setup, anvil, books - the whole shebang - and then I mine every last bit of profit out of the Ancient City, while maxing up gear for my armory etc. Coal and food are the two biggest resources down there that are hard to come by. There's plenty of wool and enough wood in the city. Helps to set up a nether portal to easily pop back and forth with your main base. Gotta have a good hoe. (Mine is called the Sculkmaster 3000.) People say snowballs or chicken eggs to distract the warden but I find it's better to just go full oldschool Monty Python and RUN AWAY
16 stacks of wool
From what I noticed in my worlds most of the ancient cities spawn under a mountain either with loads of flowers and or villager towns nearby
YES
You forgot when there's a ravine on the other side of the mountain
@@lostsouls3126he said in HIS world
I can confirm town and or loading of flowers in a mountain have a ancient city.
@armyowens990 I have a video that show you how to find ancient city's way faster on my channel
I've been playing on this world for weeks, living in a mountain, and though there was Skulk everywhere, I couldn't find a city! This helped me get the mindset right on how to find it.
I got out my regional map, got some torches, and went mining in a 100x100 grid at -50y. Ignored caves. Gathered ores I hit. Built walkways through caves. Kept digging through Deep Dark areas.
I noted on the map there was another white mountain peak nearby the one I live in I'd never noticed, and sure enough, the city was under there. Took an hour or so.

Thanks kind of
I love these kinds of people, but when they put chapters its unessasary. Nice effort tho!
@@Worst_Player_On_The_Team agreed! I don't think the chapters were there when I did this, but I don't remember.
Oddly enough, the ancient city I found was relatively close to the ocean. It wasn't under it, but it was a lot closer than I anticipated. Still under high terrain--it was basically a cliff-coast situation.
Was it in a pre-made seed ?
@@debypitou5467 Late reply but... not sure. It was a MP server my friend made for a few people. My guess is it was a random seed, and I never asked for it so unfortunately, I can't share it. If I remember correctly, it was under a giant (y200+) stony peaks biome that was awfully close to the ocean. There might've been some other near-water biome between it and the ocean biome, but still underwater--like a river biome or something. 🤷♂
I got extremely lucky while looking for an ancient city, I generated a new random seed and spawned almost right next to a mountain, I decided to dig straight down to see if there was a city there and I found one with a cave connecting straight to a second one, I so wish I saved the seed so I could use it on a server with friends but alas I did not and I had to factory reset my computer before I thought of saving the seed
Yeah every other world I’ve done I’ve found them before I’ve wanted but me and my friend both have max armor and have checked so many caves under mountains and haven’t even found skulk..
@@DylanPlayzGames My friend and I didn’t even mean to find skulk we were just mining having fun and I went further down while she was digging and found it… Found skulk and she said to wait but then I accidentally fell in the hole😭 So we just started looking
i have noticed if you have a big mountain range you can get multiple ancient cities. 4 cities is my best so far
When searching for an Ancient City, always carry a zoom level 4 locator map or two around so you always know where you are under the mountain. Also the locator maps work in the Nether so you can see roughly where in the overworld the Nether portal will appear. No need to do hit-or-miss portals when you have a map. You only need to travel around on the overworld surface for a bit to pre-map the mountains being targeted from the Nether. (EDIT: Oh wow, Java locator maps don't work in the Nether. OK - they they to port that feature from Bedrock over to Java. They could even add a recipe for the cartograhpy table involving a locator map and echo shard to create a map that works in the Nether if Mojang doesn't want to make that feature free.)
Also, on Bedrock Ancient Cities on shore lines next to oceans are just as likely as inland ones. The "needs to be dry" rule doesn't apply there.
oh the map thing is smart i never thought of that
i currently have a couple spots in my survival realm that im looking for a city at, ill make sure to remember that tip
thanks
On bedrock ancient cities also spawn mostly 2000 blocks off of spawn
Wattles is literally the hand guide of Minecraft 😅
Hi
Agree
Yeah he’s like really good at Minecraft I agree
wait your from scratch omg
EyecraftMC 1% better
I'll say the exception to how it spawns is on old worlds depending on the seed but anyway on my main after converting it spawned under an ocean no less. Been playing that world save on an off since like 2014.
My experience is that most cities are around drippstone caves, but then I started a new seed where all that went out the window. I checked with Chunkbase and it showed a city just 500 blocks away from spawn and a few thousand blocks further away a cluster of 6 cities in a circle. This seed also has a desert close to spawn with 6 tempels. -5792008899809711720 is the seed. My suggestion is to make a copy of your game and use spectator mode or chunk base to find anything really.
Was this on bedrock or java?
Same mine seeds also has five different biomes with two ancient cities under 1000 blocks from spawn point
-8985846748452277621
Is the seed if you want to check ✅
wattles be like: talking about ancient cities several times.
also wattles: never raided an ancient city in Survival.
Hi Wattles thank you so much. I spent hours looking for an ancient city and had no luck. I'm going to use these methods. I wasn't sure what to look for when searching for an ancient city now I do. I hope I find one soon. All I'm still looking for a wild woods. Still haven't found one. Love ur vids 🙂👍
Did u ever find one?
Me and my friends found one under the mountains at the first try! Your video was very helpful so thank you.
Honestly, I clicked on the vid but stopped at like 0:05 because trying to find the ancient city is what's been the most fun. Traversing the deep dark, clearing out all the sensors and shriekers and obsessively looking as if I was some history buff way in over his head cave diving and excavating is so damn fun
i wish it was like that for me but we spent like 3-4 hours losing our minds.
i dug a whole tunnel system under a mountain. we went thru like 3 seperate deep darks. i found 2 and a half stacks of diamonds and not the city
@@grqfes that was your problem. you dig straight down from the peak of a mountain range, if no city is present, move on.
Awesome, found it first try on the first strategy!
Thank you so much I didn’t find an ancient city but I found a massive mineshaft and got nearly a stack of diamonds so far
If u are too lazy to find a mountain peak, then try the nether portal trick, just a quick tip:
1. Dig down to y 5 or y 6
2. Break 50 blocks or 100 blocks away from your starting portal ( same with the 2nd portal or etc )
3. When done check y cordinate, if its 6 then place the portal at y 6 ( remember if u are standing at y 5 go up 1 block and create a portal, bc at y5 the portal will teleport u to random places ), at y6 u always meet a cave
4. After that check the biome, if under forest, plains then go back create another portal until u find a deep dark
This method took me 15+ times idk
The way my world is, every time I go mining I find an ancient city and its kind of annoying because I never bring shulker boxes and my inventory is always full because I’m so tempted to get the loot.
for one example, my best friend and I and his wife and a couple other friends started a world
And like at the 2400-800 mark was a mountain villager settlement and like below it took to a cave but right underneath that was an ancient city
So try somewhere further from your spawn, not every mountain village may have one but it's a possibility you'll find one like that.
tip: making a water elevator may be a good safe means of going up and down to the city,
leave yourself enough air pockets to get to the surface and if you feel confident enough you can swim straight down and get there faster
i've gotten so good at finding ancient cities that i looked at the first mountain i came across in my peaceful world and was RIGHT
Thank you for the content!❤
Another way to find an ancient city is to always try to find a cherry grove biome. If u find a small one, search for a larger cherry grove biome(should be within approx 300 blocks). After u find the cherry grove, dig straight down and BOOM! There's the ancient city! This is a guaranteed method of finding an ancient city.
It's just in ur world not 100%
@@ussopking4786 That's what I thought at first but I checked not 1 not 2 not 3 but 5 different seeds. There was guaranteed skulk beneath. Loot areas were in the large cherry grove biomes
Damn I will try that ty
@@ussopking4786 just do /locate biome cherry_grove and go under it in spectator. That's what I did
I found the cherry grove biome and dig down but no ancient city :(
Portaling for the win I found one second try, and it's insane for diamonds too, thank you
I’ve found and raided 2 ancient cities in my world and still haven’t gotten the silence armor trim, so hopefully this video gets me there, thx 👍
I started today but I wanted to have some info before going for it, also I hope this helps me
1.25% chance
i gave up its ugly anyways
Yooooow....I was so eager to find one, so I stumbled into this video and decided to give it a shot. After a few more minutes I tried to look for the highest mountain and dig straight down, and got myself dropped into the ancient city...and not later that 30sec I died :( not knowing what to do when I encountered the warden 😭😂 this guide is so effective💛 thank you so much (rip xp)
omg I’m sorry about that :(
What are you, a genius?
I was getting frustrated trying to find an ancient city in my current seed. Found your vid via google, realised I only knew of one snowy mountain and went for a look - down the first cave I come across and found a city. :D
my personal favorite is to find a deep dark biome via any method above then strip mine 200 or so blocks in any direction
For mining i recomend having a water bucket , place it in your tunel and start swiming until you get the fast swiming animation and break blocks in front of you and just dive into it so you mine 1x1 and not 2x1 (you can do the same with trapdoors
I personally have found 4 ancient cities on the DEZOcraft server while digging our tunnels underground. So far we have found totally 5 ancient cities one of which I have claimed to keep others from greiffing. They are not as rare as some players think they are. We figure that there may be at least 5 or more on our server. Maybe the seed is just lucky but we do keep finding the cities underground.
I have a simple idea, make a copy of your world and turn that copy into creative mode, now locate the biome you need using locate biome command, now go to the exact coordinates in your of survival world.
Isn’t it obvious this is a survival video? Otherwise x-ray would be on here too…
What abt realms?
Good vid, as always, thanks 😎
I have been getting sent to caves at the regular 50-ish y coordinates when in the nether and getting back out, lately. I've had to build portals up by the nether roof to be on the surface. So now I wonder if this on purpose.
Merry almost Christmas wattles
Ancient cities have high or guaranteed chances to spawn under mountains that go up to at least y-level 125 with snow or stone on top under the mountain if there is sculk you have a high chance of finding one cause ancient cites are very huge and tall the width is around 200-250 blocks long and the height is around y-level -52 ~ -24 so be prepared with a water bucket for the fall if you dig straight down Hope this tip helped and be carful around the warden it does a lot of damage and you need full protection IV (4) diamond armor to survive ONE HIT
i know im late but one hit on what difficulty? i got full protection 4 but im on normal mode so will i survive more than 1 hit?
@@Keke_offiyeah it can two shot you in normal difficulty.Warden is a nightmare🌚
I just found a snow mountain and i tried to dig down and yes i found the deep dark biome but unfortunately, i can't find the ancient city. Any tips?
I taught myself to find them, just practice constantly in creative mode, before I leave the world or give up, I use "/locate" to see how close I was, I calculated my average, my average is 154 blocks away from the ancient city
if A mountain is past Y level 150 and its pointy, there is a good chance you will find a ancient city.
P.s I find In bedrock edition, it usually generates around a mineshaft.
Caves look amazing now!
got it first try with the trial and error method, tysm my guy!
Thanks man, i found the city at the first mountain i looking for, only 2000 feet from home
What about mountain like regions in the desert/badlands, or savannah? Would those be decent places to look?
love yah wattles!! :)
The Ancient City found by my friend on our shared MC pocket world was under the ocean. We had to find a small island that was sea level in order to start digging down. Luckily it was far enough away from our home town starter area for us to place a nether portal and make it a shorter trek.
I like that you called it "Trial and Error Box" LOL, perfect name,
1:16 I WAS WATCHING THIS WHILE IN A DEEP DARK
The dedication this man puts into yt, fantastic
I found an ancient city with trial and error on my first try thank u.
If the deepdark spawn height starts at Y90-Y50 it's 100% ancient city near it...
TYSM YOU HELLPED ME
Wattles, please raid one in your survival world!!
Branching could have included trap doors so the player only needs to make a 1 high tunnel, saving some durability on tools.
true!!
Well I know there's one near my base cause I saw it on a map (looking for what chunk to trim-update), but it's under a mountain cave system I've already light up so I would've found it anyway (I had some spawn farms there).
But still will tru to find others with no maps tho, have some big mountain chains
I need more wattles give me POWER!!!
how about making a series about "how to find everything" that goes over fining everything in the game and its methods
Your voice is hella friendly I love it
So I started my world looking for a good place to set up base and then I find this huge mountain. Good views, Nice caves. I've already spelunked the entire cave by now so its completely empty. But in the process I found out I accidentally built my base over the deep dark. And I wasn't even trying to look for it
14:13 That city is right next to an ocean.
yo wattles we need to know asap how to get bamboo blocks. quite a few of us are not seeing it in the new snapshot, and are confused on how to get it. something data pack is all we have heard
Okay I'm just have a question might be dumb but oh well I watch all your videos as much as possible if I get stuck on something I go back to reference it I'm thinking about doing a super flat world like you got I think it's cool that the stronghold still forms what about ancient cities does that actually show up on a super flat
Love how I've gotten 40 blocks of diamond and still have not found one
Very helpful
I may have been cheating a little but I figured out how do you see through walls in Minecraft so I just went to Y level 50 under my mountain in literally the middle of my continent and I found the ancient city automatically. Thanks Wattles
Wattles is like a Minecraftopedia !
Goodnight wattles ❤
You can use a chunk nasty too
Yo when he said try and mine some of the Sculk blocks cuz it might hide more to the cave I tried it… My best friend and I thought we hit a dead end. But when I tried that method it led me to a whole new part of the cave with more Sculk blocks and sensors…😳
The easiest way to find an ancient city is to go to creative mode and do the /locate command
few minutes ago i raided an ancient city for the first time in my life and i managed to get a silence armor trim and a swift sneak lll enchanted book
I accidentally came across this in survival, it scared the shit outta me the first time
Oh my god thank you thank you thank you I actually found the ancient city thanks to this video thank you so much!!!!!😆😆😆
Mountain guide worked well
new speedrun tactic is just getting a load of wool then digging down asap huh
You should of made a quick disclaimer at the beginning saying “if you are killed by the warden via his sound waves all the items you are carrying on you will de-spawn” because I just lost all my stuff and I’m 28,000 blocks away from my spawn.
it doesn't seem worth it that there are shriekers in the deep dark cave and not only in the ancient city, imagine finding a cave filled with sculks and summoning a warden by accident and that's not even the ancient city yet. Totally worthless journey. If I'd be fighting something like the warden, it'd better be in the ancient city and not just the normal deep dark cave with sculks blocks
Considering I found an Ancient City that was close to a river I'd say it doesn't have to be completely free of water, just not near an ocean. (Randomly generated seed)
Great video
Amazing video
/locate structure ancient_city
Also, something I could point is that ancient cities aren't that rare, there are mountains with 2 cities within 300m, so perhaps, is using a map mod/api so despicable you would rather fly the world and make your map size go up to 20GB? Idk, but still, if you have mountains near your spawn, try there (unless your map is older, but you can always delete chunks)
I tested this and the city always spawned under terrain that's at a high y-level (110+). 4/10 were under Caves and Cliffs biomes.
Ty
ancient city guide lets gooooo
11:40 anybody know if this fills in the space between portals? or would i still be able to load those chunks at a later update?
It shouldn't load chunks in the overworld you haven't visited, no.
you can load them at a later date. The starting point for non-spawn chunks is the player, so when the player suddenly appears in the overworld via nether portal travel the game doesn't "connect the dots" for ungenerated chunks between portal hops.
thank you both!!
Groves biomes seem to have a really high chance of having one nearby based on looking at random maps. Not that that's helped me.
Found ancient city on bedrock

I like how this is more of a tutorial how to keep your sanity and menta health-
Can we just appreciate the effort he puts into these videos
What effort ?

Looked for an ancient city, found an end stronghold
Is it just me or is his voice soothing lol
Request: terralith review!! After trying it I cant play without it anymore
Thought Warden was warm up and Endardragon is boss but after seeing this i should reach end city first than Warden what a drag ?😢
Does this man not know to dig with a bucket of water and an Aqua Affinity helmet? Saves me from lava and falls all the time... And a Trident to get back up to the surface quickly makes it easy...
the best method is a cool feature called xray :3
DUDE, you're Milking This Structure!
I've been searching for over 15hrs or even 20hrs in total with my partner. Mostly Surface Caves, Trial and Error and Caving. However, after that much time, several stacks of diamond ore and more treasure and going through double chests worth of night vision potions, it's pretty frustrating to hear that there is no better advice and/or method. And it's not like we are lacking equipment. Elytras, gunpowder and paper farms, best armor and enchantments possible etc etc...
So far we've found 2 cities. Don't get me wrong. That isn't bad at all! But the 1,2% chance for that one rare armor trim I really want makes this hunt really tiring.
Other than that I'm a huge fan of the deep dark and ancient cities!
ive spent endless hours on the last method, across so so so many different worlds, its driving me completely nuts and wasting all my fireworks...
Find the seed of the world then use chunkbase
Trial and Error got my Memories when I in 7th class... Actually I am 8th class LOL 😂😂
That portal method is good, didn't they bring back infinite lava?
Aren't all these technics just a reworded trial and error
I like the portal, i’m struggling to find deep caves
Please wattles do this for Abbadon mine shafts as well. Been playing for a year now and never found one in my world.
Mine shafts are so common compared to AC.. Isn't it problem in the world generation?
You can listen for them in caves, you’ll usually hear minecarts driving around for a second, which means a mineshaft is close
I’ve made a copy of my main world, put it in creative mode, and dug below 5 mountains, found the deep dark (Or whatever y’all call it) flown all over, activated guardian monsters, and *still * haven’t found a single ancient city. 😭
