A Pillager Outpost stands in the center of a Desert’s river, preventing the neighboring Plains Village from accessing the river’s water.

The first is a Savanna Village to the north, while the second is a Desert Village on an island very close to the continent you spawn on.

When you’re feeling nostalgic for old Minecraft or just want to spend some time grinding away, simpler survival seeds are best. This one features a Plains Village with a ruined Nether portal near Spawn. The portal is only missing four obsidian blocks, so it won’t be too much trouble to rebuild.

Ruined Nether portal: 44, 81

Walking in that direction will lead you to a ruined Nether portal on top of a hill. You can easily repair and light the portal to enter the Nether at the start of your world.
