If you are looking for a new challenge in Minecraft, you might want to explore an ancient city. These are massive structures that generate in the deep dark biome, at layer -51. They are full of loot, secrets, and dangers. In this post, I will give you some tips and tricks on how to survive and thrive in an ancient city.

You can see all part here:

4.3 Looting the city

The ancient city is full of loot chests that contain valuable items. You can find them in various structures and rooms in the city, such as statues, towers, halls, libraries, gardens, etc. However, some of these chests are trapped or hidden by mechanisms that can harm you or alert the warden.

To loot the city safely and efficiently, you need to be careful and observant. Here are some tips on how to loot the city:

  • Use your potions of night vision to see better in the dark, and your potions of speed or ender pearls to move faster in the city.
  • Use your netherite tools with Efficiency and Fortune (or Silk Touch) to break through walls and structures and create shortcuts or openings. However, be careful not to make too much noise or damage valuable blocks.
  • Use your torches or glowstone to light up the city and prevent sculk shriekers from spawning more wardens. However, be careful not to make too much noise or alert the warden with light.
  • Use your wool or carpet to cover the floor and prevent vibrations from being detected by the warden or the sculk shriekers. However, be careful not to cover sculk sensors that can activate traps.
  • Use your ladders or scaffolding to climb up or down structures and reach higher or lower areas. However, be careful not to fall or make too much noise.
  • Look for chests that are hidden behind walls, under floors, above ceilings, or inside statues. You can use your sculk sensor to detect vibrations from chests opening or closing, or your netherite tools to break through blocks and reveal chests . However, be careful not to trigger traps or alert the warden.
  • Look for chests  that are trapped by pistons, dispensers, droppers, or other devices. You can use your sculk sensor to detect vibrations from traps activating or deactivating, or your netherite tools to break through blocks and disable traps. However, be careful not to get harmed by traps or alert the warden.
  • Look for chests  that are locked by mechanisms that require keys, levers, buttons, or other items. You can use your sculk sensor to detect vibrations from mechanisms working or failing, or your netherite tools to break through blocks and bypass mechanisms. However, be careful not to activate unwanted mechanisms or alert the warden.
  • Look for chests  that contain special items that are unique to the ancient city, such as sculk catalysts, soul-related blocks, skeleton skulls, Ward and Silence armor trims, Swift Sneak enchanted books, echo shards, disc fragments, treasure items, etc. These items are very rare and valuable, and can help you in various ways.

5. Converting the city

After you have explored and looted the ancient city, you might want to convert it into a base or a farm. The ancient city is a great place to build a base or a farm, as it is mob-proof (after removing all the sculk shriekers), spacious (after clearing all the structures), and resourceful (after collecting all the sculk blocks).

To convert the city into a base or a farm, you need to be creative and innovative. Here are some tips on how to convert the city:

  • Use your netherite tools with Efficiency and Silk Touch to collect all the sculk blocks in the city. You can use these blocks to grow more sculk blocks infinitely with sculk catalysts, or to craft sculk sensors for redstone contraptions.
  • Use your netherite tools with Efficiency and Fortune to collect all the stone-related blocks in the city. You can use these blocks to build structures or decorations in your base or farm.
  • Use your netherite tools with Efficiency and Fortune to collect all the wood-related blocks in the city. You can use these blocks to craft items or fuel in your base or farm.
  • Use your netherite tools with Efficiency and Fortune to collect all the wool-related blocks in the city. You can use these blocks to make beds or carpets in your base or farm.
  • Use your torches or glowstone to light up the city and prevent it from being too dark. You can also use other light sources like lanterns, candles, sea lanterns, etc.
  • Use your wool or carpet to cover the floor and prevent vibrations from being detected by sculk sensors. You can also use other vibration-proof blocks like glass, obsidian, honey blocks, etc.
  • Use your buckets of water to create water sources in the city. You can use water for farming crops or animals, brewing potions, fishing, etc.
  • Use your TNT or beds to blast through walls and structures and create more space in the city. You can also use other explosives like end crystals, fireballs, etc.
  • Use your ladders or scaffolding to climb up or down structures and reach higher or lower areas. You can also use other vertical transportation methods like elevators, slime blocks, pistons, etc.
  • Use your cobwebs or honey blocks to slow down mobs or players that enter your base or farm. You can also use other traps like lava pools, fire sources, pressure plates, tripwire hooks, etc.
  • Use your jukebox and music disc to play music and create a relaxing atmosphere in your base or farm. You can also use other sound sources like note blocks, bells, etc.
  • Use your echo shards to craft a recovery compass, which can help you find your way back to your spawn point. You can also use other navigation methods like maps, banners, beacons, etc.
  • Use your disc fragments to craft the “5” music disc, which can play a mysterious and eerie record. You can also use other music discs that you find in the city or elsewhere.
  • Use your sculk shriekers and sculk catalysts to spawn wardens, either for farming sculk catalysts or for creating a mob switch. You can also use other mob spawners or farms that you build in the city or elsewhere.

These are just some of the possible ways to convert the ancient city into a base or a farm. You can use your imagination and creativity to come up with your own ideas and designs. The ancient city is a place full of potential and possibilities, and you can make it your own. Have fun and enjoy!
