Every Minecraft Ancient City Structure!

Good morning good morning this is your boy dua lipa welcome back minecraft ancient city i hear the words and i’m in love and ever since first reveal at minecraft live these things have been mysteriously fascinating not only mysteriously fascinating but also mysteriously gigantic easily one of the biggest structures in the entire game

These things are complex if you’re anything like me more you want more kind of obsessed with these cities today you’re in luck i’ve taken the time to break down the structure piece by piece we’re gonna look at every single piece of the ancient city as of the latest snapshot

This one will help you understand the ancient city maybe even help you navigate this thing once it drops in survival or it’ll just be interesting drop a like and i’ll make more ancient city videos subscribe if you’re new wild update content all the time and let’s take a

Look at the city so the ancient city when you find it inside of your world it’ll be like one structure kind of except it’s not really if you’re newer to structured generation it’s pretty simple you can think of a structure as a puzzle and then all of these individual

Things is puzzle pieces inside of the bounding box which is basically like the outlines is one individual piece of this puzzle we take one piece we pair with another piece and another piece and another and then eventually we end up with gigantic ancient city ancient cities are made up of different

Structures these structures individually are organized into separate categories we have the entrance category with six variants ancient city walls ancient city structures which are basically like the buildings with the loot ancient city center walls and then finally ancient city centerpieces there are certain rules here in some of these cities like

Basically one centerpiece per city but a long story short that means 58 total structures however in the wall category we have six ruined versions so if you want to talk like unique things -6 from 58 that’s 52 unique structures insane that’s got to be like the most out of

Every structure in the game kind of interesting here i laid everything out in the world and then kind of organized it by like section we have entrances we have walls and stuff this is what it looks like from above uh plus a small city ignore that kind of cool i don’t know

58 to structures to make sure this video isn’t like literally three hours long we’re gonna have to go through some of the instructions a little bit quicker boring structure fast to cool structure less fast first let’s take a look at the entrances the perfect way to literally enter the video i never said

That so entrance number one is looking pretty good as you can see here this entrance bit is gonna be the part that kind of leads up to the ancient city if you’re familiar with it entrance number two introduces dark oak wood we’re gonna see a lot of dark oak wood today now

Entrance number two is kind of destroyed especially if you take a look at the center thing um absolutely obliterated entrance number three even more dark oak wood bridges are looking a little bit better sometimes and then this thing it’s like a miniature outpost look at this thing it’s so cool now compared to

The other cool things we’re going to take a look at today this is very mild but if it was a vibe check or something it would pass that’s sweet sad music this is so sad small outpost looking structure we barely knew you how could this happen in entrance number

Four destroyed gone erased and then the rest of the structure here we have our first appearance of light blue wool or carpet pretty cool absolutely destroyed these tower things completely ruined sad music bring it back small outpost structure from number four you’re gone completely gone we didn’t even know your first name

It’s so sad as for the rest of entrance number five completely destroyed as well now taking a look at the back of the entrances you might realize that they’re completely chopped what’s going on there so uh what i think is happening is when you have the ancient city generate you pick one

Of these entrances so let’s say this one and then every time you pair it with this connector piece right here basically this thing finishes the entrance now compared to some of the other entrances that we’re taking a look at this one uh when it comes to the

Condition it is pretty good it’s doing pretty well we have a little bridge at the end that would walk us up to the center piece we’ll take a look at that later but yeah those are the entrances next chunk of structures ancient to city walls so if you’re familiar with the

Ancient city at all then you know the walls are a pretty prominent feature so when an ancient city generates you get a random combination of all these structures uh no two structures are alike you know you know basically inside of the ancient city you have these walls

Whining throughout the thing it makes it look like a castle and then when these walls connect to each other you basically get these long hallways the first walls that we’re gonna take a look at have an intact version so that’s gonna be this back one right here and

Then a ruined version this thing yeah clearly completely ruined moving on the next ruin has a little bit of dark oak here and then the intact version the original is this right here pretty similar to the first one next up this ruin has a little bit more dark oak wood

Except no logs this time and then same thing this original version of the wall pretty similar to the first one finally oh my gosh what happened here this wall is completely destroyed this time you would have no clue looking at this thing that originally was this amazing one you

Have the staircases walking up right there even more staircases right there this one is sweet out of the first war once easily my favorite not going to talk about lore in theories today it’s a topic for a different video and we already have enough to talk about

Today but this next one is called ruined corner wall one now if you take a look at the structure right here you may say like what’s ruined about it looks like relatively fine i mean there are some holes but no big deal right well my theory here is that maybe this original

Structure was all deep slate and then it got ruined but then somebody or something came back in and repaired this structure with a little bit of dark oak wood here maybe and then like the light blue wool and everything kind of stands out after all that would explain that

One that would explain some of those other ruins and that would kind of explain this ruin except ah they didn’t do a very good job maybe they’re blind here is another version of the corner wall this one is looking pretty good it’s all deep slate this

Time some ladders in the middle and soul entrance common theme throughout the city here’s another wall this is just a pretty plain basic wall piece and another plain basic wall piece we’ll come back to that crazy one here’s the corner piece for the walls here’s a three-way corner piece for the walls

Here is a cool wall with a walk-through right there that’s pretty nice good spacious and then finally the cream of the crop over here this thing it’s a beauty look at this thing up top first off you have the statue right there what is this thing well kind of looks like a

Warden to me i mean i don’t know you have the gigantic centerpiece right there kind of looks like a warning you have smaller pieces of this puzzle that kind of looks like a warden and you have this right here then it’s a dripped out warden too if i say so myself look at

This thing the warden with the soul lantern earring yikes yikes but in a good way this piece is so cool and easily my favorite wall piece out of all of them on the ground in survival mode here looking at this thing it’s like tall and open easily

Warden could chase me through this thing really really cool and then just like the grandness of this one with the whole statue on top chef’s kiss good job so i said some structures are a little bit more interesting a little bit less interesting in my opinion i mean i mean

Those ones are all interesting in their own right right uh but these next ones that we’re gonna take a look at are the most interesting ones of all entrances and walls we’ve cleared them they’re both out of the way fascinating bodacious scrumptious beautiful ancient city structures i would describe these

Things as all of those or at least most of these if you’re looking for a loot inside of the ancient city this is where it’s at all the structures that we’ve looked at so far have no loot chests inside of them this first one is called the barracks the barracks is pretty

Popular we got a look at this one at minecraft live this is a structure with two loot chests inside of it every single time you find one of these structures loot will be randomly generated so whatever i show you could be completely different but consistently you will always have the skeleton skull

On the back of this one right here that’s good loot that’s really really good loot the only place you can find this thing in survival minecraft too back up on top of this thing we have miniature statue of warden or shrek i’m not too sure and then we have jigsaw

Blocks and survival you won’t see these jigsaw blocks instead you’re going to see skulk so skulk is going to generate all over these cities on the walls and those things you know like literally all over the place but where you have a jigsaw block you will always have a

Blotch of skull generating this blotch of skull could have streakers it could have catalysts it could have sensors you could have all of them let’s move on to camp number one camp number one very interesting we’re gonna start to see a lot of blue toned wall inside of here

Except it’s kind of in a pile if we’re talking about a camp no clue it doesn’t even really look like one we move on to camp number two we start to get a clue here we have a little bit more um like structure to the blue woolen side of

This thing we have a deep slate table on the inside a campfire that is burning and then dark oak logs all over the place the same ruined thing kind of outlining the structure finally camp number three it happened again that’s completely ruined now currently i have three known excuse me two known

Definitions of the word camp we have insanely tacky like over the top not good or we have like um to put it simply it’s like somewhere with a tent you know what i’m talking about uh yeah i don’t know just kind of interesting moving on this thing is called the

Chamber the chamber has one of my favorite parts of the entire ancient city it’s this outline right here i feel like the outline is so ominous and creepy now the outline i mean you tell me but right there that outline i mean i kind of feel like it’s another warden

Absolutely amazing when i was doing some survival play testing this one was a little bit tricky to get into because if we take a look at the you know like the outside of the structure no clear doorways or anything like that that’s gonna mean you’re gonna have to kind of

Parkour into the structure and if you have shriekers sitting around like on top of this thing like i did that’s potentially bad inside of the structure you have a little bit of a table right there with some loot on the table and not much else if chamber number one and

A chamber number two and chamber number three were all of my children so then chamber number one would easily be my favorite child chamber number two it’s not that interesting there is a loot chest right there chamber number three is pretty similar to chamber number two but really compared to chamber one it’s

Just nowhere near as good let’s move on icebox number one the except it’s the only icebox the icebox might be the most complex individual structure in this entire city other than the centerpiece when we walk up this thing this is the one with the pressure plates and the

Note blocks you might have seen it then we have a pressure plate right there to go down into the trap door then in the bottom we have ice all over the place hence the name icebox ancient fridge ancient fridge blue chest in the middle the icebox is ancient to fridge

Generation wise it’s pretty complex loot table wise it has a unique one so the entire ancient city it has two loot tables and one loot table is going to have all of the loot like that you’ll find throughout the city and then the other loot table is specifically for the

Ice box the ice icebox loot table contains like a lot of food a little bit of cold things like snowballs and ice individually it’s just a really cool structure love the noteblock trapper there i think it’s really cool moving on we have a string of relatively small boring-ish structures large pillar

Number one no loot inside of this thing it’s just a pillar medium pillar number one no loot again it’s just a pillar except this time it’s a little smaller and kind of ruined large room number one boring snooze a medium room number one boring snooze medium room number two

Boring snooze i mean i’m sorry they’re not the most fascinating things but i set every structure so please wake up this was a good one so when it comes to good structures inside of this one or my favorite structures really like the ice box like that wall

Piece right there sauna is definitely in my top five as well the sauna is the individual structure with the most loot chests in the entire city it’s also one of the biggest structures so starting off over here we have warden hot tub right there with the candles around it’s

Got to be really really warm over here we have ward in a cold tub pool i don’t know yeah we’ll go with the warden pool right there then over here we have a loot chest inside of this room or building another loot chest over here in this room we’re building and then finally

Another lucha and a small room right over here i mean with all of this city i get tempted to like find the city in survival and completely restore it but individually this is one of the buildings that makes me want to do this the most like it’s a whole pool building

Like a community center for the warden is so cool like with the portal the hot tub and everything pool excuse me now the final thing i’d like to talk about with the sauna here is the outlines happening here again what’s going on they’re outlines but like this one it

Kind of looks like that soccer warden to me right with like the head off center i i mean it’s that or it’s just completely ruined or it’s not even meant to be like an outline or anything like that but i mean i don’t know kind of looks like

Stalker warden you tell me we’re in the home stretch of the buildings to make up the city now small room number one not much to say about him small ruin number two also not much to say about it small statue a little bit to say about it look

At this thing it’s another head kind of looks like that right there got the candles right there no loot in this one but it’s pretty sweet love the statue thing moving on tall room number one i need you to take a guess what do you think this thing kind of vaguely looks

Like at least to me the first time i saw it i was like pillager outpost now obviously not a recreation of it but it’s just kind of like the like a similar vibe we have floor one floor two finally up top floor number three a chest every single time so that’s the

Perfect version the structure files also come with a destroyed version of that structure too destroyed version i think you’re gonna have to tower up like there’s no clean way to climb up to the top of this thing so yikes tall ruin number two tall for sure but nothing like taller number one tall

Ruin number two kind of reminds me of a house or something we have floor number one pillars all over the place and then a staircase up on floor number two we have stars is this warden bathroom i mean i don’t know you’d be the judge of it yourself but this is definitely kind

Of looks like warden uh warden bathroom stove anyways there’s a loot chest inside this one and then we have a ruined version of the structure as well in the ruined version we missed the loot chest on the first floor and in survival you’re gonna have to parkour if you want to get to

The loot chest go up the stairs jump over here loot chest inside of ruin warden bathroom all right so for the really really interesting pieces of the structure other than the centerpieces that’s like kind of it the centerpieces are absolutely fascinating though so please kindly do not leave

This video so out of the buildings that we just took a look at which one is your favorite do you like the chamber do you like the barracks the sauna let me know down below those are my three favorites finally we have the middle of the ancient cities so every single ancient

City will have a centerpiece and here we have centerpiece 1 centerpiece 2 centerpiece 3 and then around that centerpiece we’re gonna have like castle walls for the front of the castle walls we have two options we have this one right here with the four perfect lamps

Or we have this one right here with two perfect lamps and then two lamps that have been completely ruined inside of the center piece we’re also going to have these other castle wall looking things these castle walls will you know of course combine together and box that

Center portal thing in the castle walls right here i mean they’re interesting looking some of them have a little bit of light blue wool and dark oak wood but for the most part they’re just castle wolves i will say that these walls are really sweet with the staircase top

Piece and again uh looking at these structures it makes me want to build like a literal fortress inside of my survival world or something like these things are so cool some of them have interesting doorways down below so you can get into them but no loot here unfortunately from

Looking at all these structures one change that i would like to propose that is made to the ancient city is maybe a little bit more randomly generated loot throughout the city like maybe just random loot chests in southern walls sometimes but not every time i don’t know like looking at the structures it

Seems like like kind of once you learn that the loot is only inside of the buildings you just completely skip the walls because there’s no need to walk inside of them i don’t know i feel like random chests inside of some of the walls would definitely encourage the

Player to like stay in the ancient city explore a little bit more and try and find all the loot but i don’t know centerpieces a centerpiece number three number two and number one they’re all pretty similar looking but they do have their differences so centerpiece number one on

The outside and the front has like nothing right there centerpiece number two is the one with the chest in the middle on the front and then finally centerpiece number three is the one with the walls in the front now every single centerpiece is a little bit of a puzzle

From the back of the instructions we’re looking at something that looks pretty much the same now there’s an inside to these structures you probably heard about it by now the back of the inside of these structures will always be the same at least right now first off we

Have repeaters right there going over the lamps then we have electron right there with lamp then we have target block over here with lamp real quick let’s talk about solutions to these centerpieces as well so centerpiece number three with the walls right here to open up the doors lower down move on

Top of that that’s all you need to do you can walk across you could jump or something like that but you move there and then the doors will open now you need to be quick we’re on a timer here if you run through the walls like that

And then run around to the front you can easily make it to the inside of this thing and then inside of this thing in like the locker room we’re looking at lots of repeaters some torches and redstone dust centerpiece number two comes with a chest the chest every

Single time will have one golden apple inside of it and it’s the key to the puzzle if we stand in front of the chest and eat the golden apple basically a skull sensor detects that motion and then opens up the doors we move inside and then we’re inside

The lock one of this room has redstone lamps vaguely in the shape of a u some redstone components and a furnace centerpiece number one tricky tricky it’s completely blank up top and first inspection there’s nothing to do here what do you do to open the door well closer inspection chisel deep slate

Right there that’s the key we go on top of this block and move around maybe like jump or something that works then we have the door the door down below it opens that’s how you get in this one is pretty similar to the last one we have

Redstone lamps except not a u this time uh deformed to maybe s or c or something and then more components if you want to open the doors from the inside that lever that does the trick centerpiece number one centerpiece number two centerpiece number three just like with the buildings out of these three

Centerpieces which one is your favorite do you like the eating one do you like one of the motion ones so let me know down below and that’s it the ancient city structures those are all of the structures that make up this massive gigantic structure i don’t know what it

Is about taking a big structure in the game and just breaking it down piece by piece and laying it out but like i had a lot of fun with this one this was really cool to set up and just looking at them individually i don’t know it’s really

Interesting at the time of recording this video 1.19 that’s not fully out quite yet that means the structure could definitely see some changes made to it before the full release if you enjoyed today’s video and you haven’t yet smash like subscribe for more wild update

Stuff i’d like to set a big thank you to my patrons gb fan 1984 bill geek and divins thank you so much for the support thank you all for watching it’s been me your boy i’ll see you tomorrow everyone goodbye
