  • Coordinates: -50, 50
  • Biomes: Warped Forest

As soon as you spawn, you can start building the nether portal right away. This will immediately transport you to the best of the three new nether biomes: the warped forest. It is the best for building, as there are almost no hostile mobs except Endermen, which can be farmed for Ender Pearls. Also, check out a savanna village not far from spawn at coordinates 200, -400.

There, you will encounter even more mobs, such as zombie pigmen and blazes, which can be farmed for some blaze powder.
