Ancient City in Minecraft The Wild Update: How to find it

Ancient cities are exclusive to deep dark caves. To find them, players will have to search for deep dark caves first. These caves randomly generate below height level 0 in the Overworld.

Players can identify deep dark caves through sculk blocks found exclusively in these cave biomes. After finding a deep dark cave, go to height level -52 to see if there’s an ancient city. This giant structure generates only at a height level of -52.

However, finding an underground structure through exploration can take an excruciatingly long time. Instead of searching, players can use the /locate command to get the coordinates of the nearest ancient city. Enter the following command to find an ancient city:

/locate ancientcity

After executing this command, players can see the coordinates of an ancient city in the chatbox. Go to those coordinates to find an ancient city in Minecraft.
