Jagged Peaks mountains cover the area around Spawn in this world.

Just be cautious and keep an eye out for the Creaking.

All players will find a set of Trail Ruins and a shipwreck on the edge of a Frozen Ocean. Java players will also have access to a large Snowy Village, while Bedrock gamers will explore the Frozen Ocean for Cold Ocean Ruins.
