7 best Minecraft 1.19 seeds for Ancient Cities in 2022

Many players would agree that The Wild Update was an extension of the two-part Minecraft Caves & Cliffs update released last year. The Wild Update introduced Deep Dark Caves, the game's third cave biome that was teased back in 2020, with many players happy to finally enjoy Deep Dark Caves and their creepy interiors.

Currently, exploring Deep Dark Caves has to be the most terrifying experience in the entire game. When it comes to horror in Minecraft, very few other biomes come to mind. If the Deep Dark Cave isn’t enough, the ambience and mysterious nature of an Ancient City will definitely give new players goosebumps.

Fortunately, Mojang has made Ancient Cities and Deep Dark Caves extremely rare to find in the Overworld. Players interested in seeing these biomes and perhaps even battling the infamous Warden can use seeds to specifically create a world with an Ancient City in it.
