The Best Ways To Find An Ancient City In Minecraft 1.20!

From the mobs to the loot to the overall atmosphere it’s safe to say the Angel City is one of the best structures in the entire game how’s it going good friends it’s me waddles the ancient city has been around for a while now over that wild I’ve tested trialed and

Experimented in today’s video we’re going to take a look at five of the best ways to find an ancient city in Minecraft Survival leave a like to help me out and let me know I should make more videos like this and let’s go the first method we’re going to take a look

At is what I like to call the trial and error if the supplies that you’re going to want to have for this method are pickaxes like a lot of pickaxes and probably a shovel or two as well if you’re trying this method over 100 go into this with a water bucket as well

And probably some feather falling boots or at the least if you can’t get that enchantment go with a potion of slow falling or two or three just just have those ready as with almost every other method we’re going to talk about today having an electrum might help you out

Huge time ah trial and error so trial and error is kind of self-explanatory but before we start trialing and erroring there are a couple things that we should know the absolute first thing that you should know maybe something that you’ve already found out yourself is the fact that the ancient city is

Dangerous in today’s video I’ll be showing you the supplies you need to find the city definitely not survive it it’d also be good to know that the ancient city will always generate at the bottom of your work and typically right around y negative 50 or so the Angel

City will also usually generate in a mountainous dry area so Under the Mountain away from the ocean under the mountain away from the ocean and that’s it for this trial and error method what we’re going to want to do is fly around our world or or just explore the world

Until you find a mountain hopefully this mountain isn’t anywhere near an ocean once you’ve found a mountain go ahead and land on that mountain grab a shovel and start digging down once you hit Stone it’s time to mine keep Mining and Mining and Mining until you get to the bottom of the world

While you’re running your trial and error if you are able to find a cave it’s definitely a smart call to take a break from digging and take a look around nowadays Minecraft’s mountains start very very high up in the world like in the 100 sometimes 200 range you’re going for negative 50. with

Numbers like that that could mean that you end up digging possibly 200 blocks straight down in your world a dig yeah it’s gonna be a really really long dig and unfortunately this dig it may not always even result in anything this time around it looks like I’ve landed inside

Of a mine shaft in the deep dark biome so maybe close but no ancient city aside from finding a mountain in an area that is far away from an ocean there aren’t too many tips I can give you for this one it’s pretty straightforward when I say Mountain definitely look for one of

The caves and cliffs Mountain biomes and not just any old Hill that kinda looks like a mountain and when you’re digging straight down if you’re worried about falling into lava or something like that definitely a possibility then try that two block mining trick sure you’ll end up mining literally double what you

Would have otherwise but this weighs a whole lot safer ancient city method number two is caving go to old-fashioned plain old caving I recommend grabbing whatever you like to bring with you when you go down into the caves and Cave because that’s exactly what you’re going to be doing

But just like with that last one this method begins with location location is everything today unless you literally want to waste your time and don’t do your caving under like an ocean or something like that you won’t find the city instead do your caving underneath some kind of a big mountain that again

Is dry it is very very important so fight a mountain that is big and dry and then find a cave and then head down into the cave and start caving that’s like literally all there is to this method let’s take a break and think about how the ancient city and the gameplay around

It was designed for a second intentionally the devs skipped out on a quick and easy way to actually locate the ancient city you don’t have something like an Eye of Ender that you can throw and just find this thing additionally in Minecraft in Minecraft you might

And so with those two big things in mind we can go ahead and make a couple assumptions when it comes to how the devs intended for us to actually find the ancient city it was probably safe to assume that if we’re playing the game the way that devs want us to play it

Then they probably want us to go into the caves and explore the caves spend some time under the ground and hopefully eventually come across an ancient city if that is what they want us to do then fine we’ll go ahead and do that head down into the caves and follow the caves

Until hopefully they go to the deepest parts of your world once you’ve made it all the way to the deepest part of your world hopefully you find a deep dark biome and hopefully an ancient city too the biggest tip that I can give you for this caving method is really just find a

Cave and follow the cave then enjoy your time down inside of the caves take your time and try and stop and collect all of the oars the oars are gonna help you out with other things and if you do find a deep dark biome and it’s kind of looking

Maybe a little bit suspicious take some time and mind out the scope maybe the skulk is cutting off more of the cape and speaking of skulk if you caught my diamond mining video then you know that this stuff might be the ticket of profits too when you’re looking for one

Specific thing and you just can’t seem to find it it’s frustrating for sure we’ve all been there to make this process a lot more enjoyable don’t focus on the ancient city too much head down into the mines and just look for cool things look for a mine shaft look for an

Orbane look for profits on profits on profits basically do anything other than fixate on an ancient city and if you do find a deep dark biome then try and stick near that deep dark bio and if you find a stretch of the cave that seems to

Exit the deep dark biome then odds are there’s that that’s probably the wrong way other than your standard mining tips like night vision potions and shulker boxes I I really wish that I had more tips for you for this one but I don’t just try and enjoy your time down in the

Caves back up here on the surface I’d like to play a little game today we’re going to take a look at five different methods for finding an ancient city we’ll make things a little bit more fun and more useful to you by comparing the methods ranking them in a chart from

Best to worst and trial and error is okay but I mean potentially fast but there is the error part and it’s also kind of boring the caving on the other hand oh boy way more interesting like a million times more interesting than digging straight down plus there’s those

Sweet bonus profits too if you like digging and nothing else this next method is 100 the method for you to pull this thing off you’re gonna need pickaxes and pickaxes and pickaxes and maybe a little bit of Mendy too prepare to have your mind blown because a Minecraft world well listen friend a

Minecraft world it is made out of blocks a lot of blocks did you know that you can bind through these blocks at the bottom of your world to maybe find do exactly what you’re looking for as you probably know the ancient city is large like this is easily Minecraft’s biggest

Structure not only is the city large but it also consistently generates at the same y range negative 50 or so meanwhile the top of the city consistently negative 21. armed with those numbers and probably a lot of pickaxes we can head down to the deepest part of our

World and do a little bit of work here so check this out if the top of the portal generates typically a round of that spot right there and then the bottom of the agents that he typically generates like pretty much right at Bedrock right here we’ve got quite a bit

Of range right there inside of this range there are diamonds I’m not saying it’s gonna be fun in fact it’s gonna be the exact opposite Branch mining divided agent city is mind-numbing it’s painful head down to about negative 50 or so in your world and start digging tunnels hopefully these tunnels will eventually

Lead you into a cave system and when they do take a break and look around the cave system for of course a sweet sweet profit but also that ancient city you’re looking around for if you find nothing make your way back to negative 50 or so and continue digging the tunnel now

These tunnels should not be like your normal branch mine tunnels the ancient city is like 200 blocks wide in both directions it’s huge these tunnels that you’re making your branches they should be spread out like make one long tunnel like really really long as long as you

Feel like then once you reach the end of the road turn and dig a really really really long tunnel like legit long I recommend making your tunnels like spaced out by like 150 or so blocks so a lot of space in between your tunnels by branching your tunnels out and spacing

Them out so far there’s a good chance that you’ll end up running into different cave systems and of course if there’s an ancient city anywhere within those tunnels you’re gonna run into it it’s huge I definitely don’t recommend having a normal pickaxe to get some efficiency 5 on that thing and

Definitely probably mending as well explosives are an option but keep in mind the Deep slate it’s kind of hard to explode so only if you’re super late in your world you’ve got that creeper Farm set up should you be using the explosives another potential option that you would hope would speed things up

Would have been Moss mining but unfortunately Moss will never convert a block that is covered so I mean I guess you could make a tunnel that’s one block deep and do the Moss super unfortunate but this honestly probably just faster to get a good and netherride pickaxe

With efficiency on it and make tunnels the better like 150 blocks apart at negative 50. I’m not saying that that method is bad because it’s not all of the methods we’re taking a look at today are the best methods to find in ancient city but like out of the ones we’re

Going to take a look at Branch mining is painful personal bias comes into play here with this one because I can’t stand Branch money I I hate it it’s so boring for our next method let’s take a look at Nether Portals digital nether portals are actually maybe a great way to find

Cities there’s a little bit of setup required for this method though and for this method of course I recommend having lots of extra obsidian a flint and steel pickaxes and depending on your point of the game maybe even beds too head into the nether once you’ve made your way

Into the nether it’s time to get deep how are you feeling okay the real goal here is to get as deep as possible that means at some points we might end up being underneath the lava ocean for this you got to be careful the target is like y5 or Y6 once

You reach the very bottom of your another as long as you’re more than like a hundred blocks away from your starting portal go ahead and make a room for a new portal and make a portal if you are still a little close to that initial portal that you use to get into The

Nether though no worries make a tunnel in any direction away from that portal then set up a room and then build your new portal once you’ve gone a bit of a ways go ahead and build a nether portal at the bottom of your Netherland again very important that we’re deep down

Inside of another build that portal light that portal and then go in so when you build a nether portal inside of your Netherland it’s going to build another portal inside of the Overworld that is relative to the blocks that you were at inside of the nether as you might know

One block in the Netherland is equal to eight blocks in the Overworld but that doesn’t apply for the y-axis when it comes to the y-axis it’s basically like exactly identical so by going super low in the Nether and making another portal it’s going to try and put super low in

The Overworld and make another portal at the bottom of the nether when we make another portal we get sent into big Cave System it’s gonna be hit and miss if you make another portal in an area of your world that has no caves you might end up

A little bit higher up but if you make your portal in an area with a big giant deep cave you might just end up in that negative y range like I did once you’ve landed back in the Overworld if you’re in some kind of big giant deep cave it’s

A great idea to run around inside of that cave and explore a little bit if you see anything that looks like the deep dark biome or of course an ancient city you’re in luck but if the cave just seems to keep going and going and going

With no sign of any skulk at all then go back to the nether portal little obsidian Farm tip for you when this nether portal is created the corners will be fully filled in before you go back into the nether if you want extra obsidian which will add up over time

Take the corners off of the portal take the quarters or don’t and move back into the nether once you’re inside of another you can go ahead and take that nether portal down you will never need it again then after you take that thing down which takes a long time dig another tunnel

The length of your tunnel Serum is totally your call but I do recommend that minimum going like 50 or so blocks just to guarantee that you get a lot of space in between your Nether Portals once you’ve got a long ways do it again and hopefully end up inside of some kind

Of big deep Cave System again another really really deep cave this is working out perfectly but unfortunately no skulk again that’s too bad if you’ve done this a couple times and don’t seem to really be having great luck check the biome that you’re Landing in I mean of course

Ideally we’re looking for like a mountain or something but if I landed under an ocean then I know that I need to go really really far inside of the nether to get away from the ocean an ocean will not work and that’s all there is to it go ahead

And repeat the process over and over again until hopefully until hopefully you land in an area that looks good I really like this method I think it’s an interesting way to get to explore your world a little bit and also possibly collect a little bit of nice

Profits as well when you jump out of your portals you never know you might be right next to Diamonds also keep in mind that bedmining there’s definitely a thing and typically when you’re bed mining for ancient debris you’re usually doing this at the bottom of the nether while you’re hunting for netherite

Consider dropping another portal in every once in a while and checking I mean you never know maybe that same bed that just exposed three ancient debris to you also in a way exposed an ancient city to you too there’s only one way to find out the only reason I’m putting this method

So low on our list today is because it might take a little bit of time you see with the trial and error method you’re going to be consistently looking inside of the right biomes with another portal method you’re gonna end up like really anywhere if this ranking was all about

Fun I would probably put this one in second place the second behind are true with first place method today the surface caves I will be honest that this one requires a little bit of luck when it comes to seed generation but this is easy this is by far the best way to find

In ancient city and the easiest one too it is a late game though highly recommend having a Lightroom and lots of rockets I will say that for this one we’re looking for something very very specific not only are we looking for a mountain but we’re looking for a

Mountain with a giant cave in the side of it that goes straight down to the bottom of your world there’s something so specific seems like it would be pretty difficult to find right well yes again it’s up to your C generation but also no at the same time finding a cave

That cuts down to the bottom of your world it’s not like the most uncommon theme so check out this cave right here this cave is in one of the best 1.19 seeds I’ve ever seen it actually made a different video on it if we go ahead and

Jump into this Cave the Cave is big and it’s really deep as you can see here this cave cut right down to the bottom of the world and an ancient city it’s gonna take a little bit of luck but it’s not impossible to find a cave with an

Ancient city that can see the sunlight even more crazy is how easy this method is to actually pull off to pull this thing off all you’re going to need is really in a light strip Rockets may be mending on that Electra go ahead and fly

Around your world in an area that has a lot of mountains whenever you find a mountain so slow you’re flying down a little bit and look at the caves don’t do that once you find a mountain with a big cave in it take a break from that whole

Flying thing and just take a look to see if you can see anything down inside of that cave if you got lucky with your cave it heads all the way down to the Deep slate range which is exactly what you not again fly around in your world and explore

Look for a big cave in a mountainy area a big cave in a mountain area that kind of looks like it maybe goes deep then go into that cave once you’re inside of that big surface cave take a quick look around and maybe you’ll find something really cool like

The biggest drips on caves you’ve ever seen or maybe even better an ancient city right at the bottom of your world that’s probably the easiest way to find one of these things it’s been meat Waddles and those are five of the best ways to find an ancient

City in your survival world if you’ve got a different method that you think is better that you love to use definitely let me know about that one down in the comments below big thank you Patron gang Infamous MC Kieran Maeve the great Vegeta and Michael H and for more cool
