Unlike a regular compass, this handy item points to the location of your last death, making it easier to go and find the possessions you dropped upon perishing. You can also find echo shards, which can be used to craft the new recovery compass. It increases your movement speed when sneaking - useful for quickly navigating around Sculk Sensors in a quiet manner, as well as building without falling off things. This new enchantment goes up to level 3, and is Minecraft's first leggings-exclusive enchantment.

Firstly, among all the other enchanted books you can find, there are Swift Sneak books. This is the main reason to come looking for an Ancient City, and there's plenty of exciting stuff that can't be found anywhere else. Lots of Sculk items can be found, and you'll also be able to grab atmospheric soul torches and snowballs you can use to distract an attacking Warden. A sort of main road, covered by a tunnel, runs from the edge of the city to the portal. The portal area is surrounded by two large walls, and has an altar-like area with candles in front of it. At the time of writing, this portal cannot be activated in any way, so it doesn't lead anywhere. While the exact makeup of each Ancient City will vary, much like rooms inside a Stronghold or Ocean Monument, the centrepiece will always be a large structure in the centre resembling a portal, made of reinforced deepslate.

Dark oak planks are used for some structures, and wool can also be seen on builds around the city. The cities are lit with soul lanterns and the occasional torch, though unlit candles can also be spotted around the structures. Furthermore, being underground makes them tricky to find - rare above-ground structures like Woodland Mansions can at least be spotted from far away, but you won't really know you've come across an Ancient City until you're actually standing in it.Īncient Cities occupy massive, Sculk-lined caverns, and are composed primarily of deepslate. They're very rare, so not every Deep Dark biome will contain an Ancient City. Ancient Cities are a new type of structure that generate within the Deep Dark.
