The coolest thing with the music discs are when you play 11 5 and I think it was 13 at the same time they tell an insane story. It’s amazing how well they made the discs pair up with each other
I mean, we all had that feeling playing the game for the first time right? Remember how scary the nights used to be? I think this new biome will teach players that the world of Minecraft can be dangerous too.
That was me. Last night. The lights....bright, dark. Bright dark. Wierd boxes with flying ghost things fluttering around. Then the music. But the weirdest part was the staircase I made, had one of those purple/black blocks appear in the way, and in my confusion, was one shotted by that Golem thing. Lost everything. Fully enchanted Bow and Fishing rod. Armor. Full stack of iron. Tried closing out the game hoping to reload into previous autosave. Didn't work. Reloaded into the base on the surface. 0 inventory. Tried to race down to get it all, all gone and another quick death courtesy of The Warden.
I have to admit that the restone showroom is a nice touch. The restone behavior is so counter-intuitive that many beginners don't know where / how to start learning it, and the jungle temple was not exactly helpful for that matter.
One piece of advice I cannot stress enough: If things go very wrong, do not mine, do not tower. Run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. The Warden is prioritizes making vertical attacks. If you are more than 15 blocks away horizontally, it cannot hurt you.
Pro Tip: bring a bed, Ender Pearls of course and also a set of secondary armor, even iron armor will do, as long as the boots have feather falling. Place the bed, tap on the bed so you respawn there after you die. Place a chest next to the bed and put all your valuable items in there, like primary armor, elytra and everything you really do not want to lose. You don't need armor in an ancient city, because there are seldomly mobs to be found there and those should be easy to take out with a lesser set of armor and any cheap sword. This way, if you get killed by the warden and should not be able to make it back in time, you will not cry like a baby over your stuff. Also the bed will help to respawn you in the area again, so you can continue ransacking the city. Use silk touch enchantment, if you want to keep the sensors and shriekers to build a base alarm later or something. No worries, shriekers placed down arbitrarily by players do not summon the warden anymore.
Not only that remember Breakjng shriekers will send a signal to sensors and other shriekers the only way you can raid an ancient city safely is sometimes giving up chest ,but I’m not like that when the warden spawns it will eventually find you your best bet is to use a pearl to teleport to another side of the city
@@BlazingBananaYT since sound (and therefore vibrations) are directional now, you can just place some wool in between the shrieker and sensor to mine them safely.
@@Thund3rDrag0n12 thanks for the advice, It’s also note worthy that sneaking with swift sneak 3 will prevent vibrations from happening when you jump, that means you can jump while sneaking and you won’t make a vibration this was tested in bedrock for me,
I dont think it was built by the pillagers , I think it was raided by them and they started rebuilding it as they raided it and collected wool to help them in their quest to conquer it and they ultimately failed because the warden protected his turf.
That makes more sense, the whole redstone contraptions, and probable portal indicate it was probably the advanced ancient civilization behind the Ender portals
@@Eyecraftmc did you see matpats video? Basically, an ancient race if builders existed long ago. Along the way, they split off into two groups, one of which forming the villages. Eventually they went to the nether, made the fortresses there, and accidentally made the wither. The portal looking thing is theorised to be an actual portal that the sculk and warden originally came out of. The builders make and light the portal to try and escape the wither, warden comes through and kills the wither, builders try and fail to coexist with the warden and flee to the end, becoming the endermen and hunting dragons to near extinction
I find it interesting how the Ancient City is either the safest place in the game, or the most dangerous. If you can remove all of the Sensors, Catalysts, and Shriekers, or just the Shriekers, effectively sanitizing the place of the Warden, the complete lack of mob spawning can make this one of the safest places to build a base. If you have even a single Shrieker and Sensor, well...
I have been raiding ancient cities for over 3 weeks now. The key is to take out the shulk sensors (cuz shreakers take a bit longer to mine and also in key points are three or more) even while the warden is still spawning, so the site is neutralized for the next visit. Then use an ender pearl to throw in a direction that you have put your mind on beforehand, wait for the bastard to despawn and then just enderpearl back. That way back is recommended, because when you land properly, you don't even set off any sensors, if there are still some. I successfully looted a dozen of ancient cities by now and only fell victim to the Warden once in the beginning.
I found that breaking the chest is much better than opening it as opening the chest has the potential to alert the shriekers twice (once opening and then when it closes) and breaking only does it once.
my only problem with that is your inv will be filled with junk if you don’t got Shulker boxes and it doesn’t matter how much vibrations you made in the chest as a chest opening will Activate a shrieker nonetheless breaking it won’t change that
When looting an Ancient City for the first time, also bring along an anvil (or enough iron to make one) so the Swift Sneak enchantment can be applied to leggings ASAP.
here's my take: there were 4 races in the world; humans, villagers, illagers, and piglins. they each ruled some huge cities. some horrible calamity occured with a massive outbreak of zombies. it devastated the humans, piglins, and villagers. i think the illagers from living underground (hence why their skin is grey) found a way to avoid infection and built the wardens for self defense. they kept the city clear of the dead and any other hostiles. something went horribly wrong and created the sculk. it spread and corrupted the wardens so the illagers fled to the surface to live in outposts and mansions.
I don't really agree. I mean, the player is basically the God of a Minecraft world, you can do and kill whatever you want, while other creatures can't. Villagers are kind of the humans of Minecraft. Illagers are either their distant cousins by race or just straight up corrupted villagers who turned evil, for whatever reason. Piglins might be just the original inhabitants of hell (Nether), or maybe that's just what evil creatures turn into when they die and end up in the Nether...
I think the piglins were native to the nether dimension. That's where all their ruined structures are. I think some official minecraft sources say netherite was all mined out and now there's only debris left - so I think the piglins ruined their dimension and tried to enter the overworld which caused them to have a massive zombie outbreak
8:20 I think the reason why there´s ice in the ice box structure is to store food and keep it from expiring and going bad by freezing it. I think it´s probably used as a fridge or freezer considering that there´s food in the chest with ice surrounding it.
@@thomasmorris2868each ancient city has random generation, but always has the large portal. In about 2/3 of all ancient cities, the icebox is found. Maybe try finding another one- good luck (;
My best funny bet was since its at bedrock lvl thet probably tried using ice to melt and destroy lava or get obsidian 😂 Though for practical purposes since ice is fast they probably were going to use it to sled from one side of the city to the next
I’m assuming the ice in the ice room was how the ancient city essentially kept a refrigerator in order to store all their perishables. Weird how you don’t have to worry about perishable items ever in Minecraft but hey it looks cool 😎
Assuming the city itself isn’t a freezer already, ya know from being a mile underground I’ve been spelunking a few times 3 different (non-tourist) caves and the way the air is constantly being rushed in normally from an underground river or similar every single time, cold as balls. I bet you realistically as long as you can breathe in the cave, that ice wasn’t placed there and it’s built up over time. Then again it’s Minecraft it doesn’t always follow logic
The note blocks on the top of the ice box is meant as a trap, since even if the player is sneaking, if they step on the pressure plate and trigger the note blocks, I think (I never tested this) that it sets off any nearby sensors/shriekers.
what if this was made by the ancient builders, they use it as a sort of alarm to recognize that the warden is near by also since they have so many carpet to prevent it from hearing them
Not only that, but I am fairly certain it's there to teach you about sculk veins. Every single Ancient City I was in that had a fridge, had one note block exposed (which makes a sound when the pressure plate is triggered) and one that is covered by a sculk vein (whixh doesn't make a sound). I think it's there, besides a trap for the ones not careful enough, so it can teach us that sculk veins disable redstone currents/redstone powered blocks. Which I have a sneaking suspicion is why the sculk sensors in the central structure are water logged - As I've never seen a water-logged vein, and this could be Mojangs way of making sure those sensors are guaranteed to perform their due redstone duties. Edit: To make it clear, at circa 4:30 you can see that the fridge in the video is no exception to my experience.
@@Pecinskey I believe that note blocks simply don't make sound when any block is directly above it. I don't think the veins have any special redstone properties.
The achievement for dropping from world height to the bottom makes so much more sense now. They planned it all along, with a deep point in the world generating over a high point; genius.
The Warden takes 6.7 seconds to crawl out of the ground, several more sounds or close by sniffs to get angry, and several seconds more to Sonically-charged shriek you. Honestly I wonder if a smash and grab approach might be viable. As long as you're pretty careful about not getting stuck when it gets dark.
Thats the meta Smash / grab and disarm sensors and shriekers then run away. Efficiency 5 diamond hoe instantly mines sensors and shriekers. Get silk touch you can pick em up At max reach distance you can mine more faster somehow.
This tutorial is great, but I personally like to rush this area as fast as possible, as the loot gained early on can be a huge boost, as long as you have wool blocks spare.
I raided 2 ancient cities, my first city I died many times, used the egg tactic some youtubers recommend, I don't recommend it, the more noise the warden picks up the angrier he gets. Raided second city without dying once, used a lot of wool and if the Warden starts spawning fly away and wait, the warden despawns really fast if you don't anger him. I highly recommend looting ancient cities the compass alone is worth the risk, but the best you can find in a ancient is swift sneak, must have enchantment for pants, makes building faster while holding shift
Raided like 10 ancient cities on my locked hard world, its not hardcore, but I am having a blast tbh, I just travel with an elytra, rockets, and an ender chest when I'm going to take over a town (which I always do) near the ancient cities, I don't touch ancient cities that don't have a city on them though. It's usually super easy to dig down and have the city have a direct entrance to the ancient city (sometimes caves make it almost impossible but you do what you do) in your town, as I don't like setting a bed soo low, and I always get sheep and legit breed them for 2 hours and gather wool + breed during this time, usually the cities have 2+ ancient cities near them so the first one I only have enough to do about half, go back and I can breed and gather wool again and finish it and when I go back for the third time, the sheep farm is huge. There are soo many fucking sheep in some towns lol, the one city had a 45x45 area that was like 4 tiles down but still grew grass, and had soo many sheep that I couldn't even gather wool properly, they pushed me around, so I released half of them and it was legit like 400 sheep that took off, and I closed it off with a little less than half still in there, and it was still a pain to navigate.
@@thelurker1330 I'm on Java and I used chunkbase, its a no-cheats, hard-locked survival world non-hardcore, I just travelled and looked for areas with 2 things specifically: 2+ ancient cities 1+ village. The village becomes a sheep breeding area for 30 minutes while I lure/breed as many as I humanly can and harvest their precious wool, then I dig tunnels to the deep dark, some tunnels are harder to work with when theirs a giant f*cking cavern, but when you can just simply mine directly down to it, its super easy. I generally also gave up on wool and decided because I have soo many swift sneak 3 leggings, I just use ender pearls, sneak 3 leggings, and know where I am, and where I will pearl to when he spawns, I press Control + B (hitboxes) and watch his dumb butt from like 30 blocks away, I like to try to enderpearl towards the middle laneways with the grey wool on them, as they are usually 15-25 blocks away from any of the chests generally. I religiously use night vision potions, its a completely different experience. I also bring an ender chest and fill it from my base with blaze rods, golden carrots, fireworks, etc various crap. I don't use any gear ONCE I'm actually set with direct passage to the Ancient city EXCEPT swift sneak leggings, which are ridiculously better, its almost necessary to have swift sneak 3 in order to do this because its far quicker over the long run. Also take a little time to watch a video on ancient cities, and their setups/various rooms, there is a bathhouse that can have 2 or 3 chests sometimes, etc, and realize the warden is simply a nothing burger, he's meant to be ignored and avoided simply. If your in creative, he's fun, etc, but in survival, he's literally just a mob to avoid.
The first time I discovered the deep dark, I had the luck to find that it was actually the entrance of an ancient city, I've watched a lot of CZcamsrs walking through the deep dark, but doing it myself is 10x scarier.
@@masonrobbins1877 Cheating! Optifine zooming is cheating! I hate that Hermitcraft CZcamsrs throw it around like it's nothing. Same as the mod Java players use that buffs shulker shell drops. It's straight-up cheating! If the spyglass exists in the game you need to wait to use it
If you need a lot of XP and quickly you’ll have to do some grinding first to make a fully reliable/never ending/consisten source of XP. I built a guardian farm in my survival world. Farm is by ianxofour. Check it out! I got to level 80 in like 2-3 minutes
The ease of mining sculk makes it’s a really good way to find diamonds actually. You can reveal a massive amount of blocks very quickly with and efficiency V hoe.
@@wokevirushandsanitzer5300 moss mining is a great idea too - just bring a moss block and bonemeal. Go to the lowest part of the world and bonemeal the ground. Most blocks turn to moss except the ores. I’ve found plenty diamonds this way
I like the red stone room it reminds me of the jungle temples way back when with the secret room, yes you could just break into it but you could also do a short, fun puzzle and learn a little bit
Except you drink it or break it potentially alerting the sensors and shriekers that would be a risk for players who doesn't know how to raid the ancient city
I definitely think Ancient Cities have potential to hold something far more sinister than what minecraft has ever created, especially when the center of the cities have a massive structure that resembles a portal. It would be a cool concept to activate said portal with "keys" that are guarded by the "Wardens" (that would explain the meaning of their name)... idk, just a thought
this was my first experience with the new biome, and holy crap this was eerie! the whole time i was on edge because of how creepy this whole city looks. the way mojang leads the player to believe that there used to be (somewhat) human inhabitants, with the wool to protect from the skulk. i am really excited to hear about the lore that comes from this
4:34 Pretty sure the noteblocks are there as a trap, when crouching around trying not to alert any wardens, you can accidentally step on the pressure plate and have that "oh sh*t" moment as it starts to spawn from the sound emmited by the noteblock
Lore idea- Built by Pillager or similar species, they became highly advanced, built the portal and were wiped out by whatever they discovered on the other side. The skulk was a species in the other dimension that went back through the portal and eventually whatever was powering the portal ran out of power and the portal closed hence no other species taking over the overworld. Maybe in 1.20 they will add a way to power the portal again.
Tip: If you want smooth looting and avoid a Warden encounter, ALWAYS remove the Shierkers, as they are responsible for waking the Warden (It's helping me and my friends a lot to loot the ancient cities). Isolating them with Wool is a good thing to do, but I would recommend manually removing them anyway. And if you forget one, stay calm, it will only be activated after shouting twice more, and if the Warden spawns, leave the area with enderpearls or try not to get too close to him. And as a comment said around here, it's a great place for a base as long as you remove all the Shierkers.
Thank you for another interesting and helpful video. Went to an ancient city for the first time after watching, and was mind blown. The deep dark is possibly my favourite biome now. The Ancient City itself is terrifyingly spectacular, beautiful, has so many elements within it and is shockingly huge. There are SO many loot chests as well, all with such valuable items! Absolutely splendid 👏
pro tip to find an ancient city with 0-no effort: copy your world, turn on cheats in the copied world and use the command “/locate structure ancient_city”, and it’ll show you where the nearest one is
Love your videos dude, I find they always have bits of obscure but useful info that other minecraft youtubers don't have in their videos. Plus the prepared chests rlly come in handy 🥰 keep up the great work
I'm an old minecraft player, and haven't played regularly since around 1.8 full release.(started in 1.2.1 beta) I love your videos for teaching me the lots I have missed. Thank you
I think it's pretty clear that the "ice box" is literally that. An ice box, which to those unaware is what refrigerators used to be called, or are still called by some. It has important perishable foods in it that make sense for an ancient civilization to have to preserve food.
The note block and pressure plate is most likely a chime for someone walking into what was once a store. Theres an icebox for food, so there was more than likely stores, and just if you were to walk into a small business and a little bell gets hit by the door, same thing in minecraft
My strategy to pacify the ancient city/deep dark is just to get a swiftness potion and leg it through the ancient city breaking all the shriekers in an area, then tower up and shoot any wardens or wait for them to dig back down into the ground. You can then just raid the loot, break the sensors if you want them because there shouldn’t be anymore shriekers so it should be safe as long as you don’t run into one as soon as it spawns when you’re running through it initially.
I think the ice is there to like make sure the food doesn’t go back because people in the past would put yheir food in boxes/rooms with ice to keep it from spoiling
Fun fact: diamonds are incredibly common In ancient cities. If you mine most of the skulk, you'll find that there are alot of diamond ore. Pair this with fortune, and you can get a ridiculous amount.
Wardens are actually pretty easy to avoid once they spawn in provided you aren't stuck in an enclosed space. They don't spawn immediately when a shrieker is activated (unless you break it,) and also during it's spawn in animation it can't aggro onto you. I found that even destroying a shrieker while it's going off still gives you ample time to get out of range with his spawn animation, no elytra needed. Also because no enemies spawn in ancient cities as opposed to a regular deep dark biome, he's alot quicker to despawn since he doesn't get distracted by sound made by hostile mobs. Ironically the warden is the less dangerous because of that fact since you can spend as little time as possible with him patrolling the area.
One ancient city I was in spawned with a shrieker right next to the chest in the ice room. So when you open the trapdoor the shrieker went off. So now I just avoid the ice rooms since the loot isn’t good anyway
Just make sure you haven’t triggered a shrieker in more than 10 minutes, get down the trapdoor as fast as possible, and destroy the shrieker before it can recharge and shriek again (about 10 seconds). It really sucks when there’s two shriekers. Then you have to destroy the trapdoor on one shriek, destroy one shrieker, and then locate the second shrieker. To avoid spawning wardens, you have to do something else for 10 minutes after each shriek so you have some leeway in case you accidentally trigger two shrieks close together.
8:40 the ice is because before people had refrigerators they had to use ice to cool their food. The aincent city is set to have been built by the ancient builders before fridges existed so they used it ti cool their food
There is obviously some lore going on with these cities. I wanna say it’s a portal, activating portal will start boss fight, where you end up fighting with the warden against creature from portal. But the fact that every ancient city, like 100% of the time has this structure directly in the middle of city, it has to mean something. Only one music disc that sounds super sus, and the warden himself being trigger by sound like a self defense alarm system, and his name deprives from the meaning “guard” like it’s obvy. I’m starting to think there’s no other dimension now, it’s just a portal to spawn a boss fight. And you fight in the ancient city. With the warden.
I think the portal is to the skulk dimension, and whoever lived there beforehand opened the portal and let the warden in. A warden is a guard, perhaps for the portal, so when it was opened it defended its dimension
@@nerd2594 just watched it. Yea that was pretty good theory. I will say, as a player I would be kinda bummed if that’s it though. Like it’s a cool addition to the game and fills it some lore if that theory of that video is correct. But as a player it’s kinda a bummer. Open up a new “city” with same loot as the end, and a new “boss” fight that doesn’t drop anything significant.
@@pinkzki6473 maybe, but it's still a new biom(however you spell it,) and a new big ass structure, witch can give items that can completely change Redstone.
I think that the ancient builders are the ones that made the ancient cities and the ice room is made to store snow balls to distract the warden if they summoned him by accident I think that the ancient builders tried to benifit from the warden by building the city near the warden so he try to kill any thing that makes a noise
All have too say about the ice rooms is, what do we call boxes/rooms filled with ice and or supper cold? And what do we use them for? (And before electricity people use ice boxes cooled with ice as refrigerator/freezers.)
My theory as to why the Pillagers stored so much wool is probably because they made some sort of ritual to summon to warden to protect their loot, but they knew the warden was a dangerous individual even if you summoned it, it probably is hostile to everything it can perceive and the pillagers knew that but they also knew about wool being sound proof, so they gathered a ton of wool to manage to walk around their city without alerting their warden guardian and the enemies that didn't know about sound proof would perish by alerting the warden
I did some experimenting and escaping the warden is very easy. Here's how, since the warden is blind all you need is some snowballs to throw somewhere else when it is chasing you the snowballs will distract it and will give you the opportunity to sneak away! Hope this helps!
I'm 19, I've been playing Minecraft since I was 9, I used to know everything before 1.13, and now I got out of touch and I have no idea what I'm doing in caves, the nether, the ocean, and even villages feel extremely alien, or as if I'm missing hundreds of accessible features that I could easily figure out. But you said it exactly "Something that Minecraft lacks a little bit of is showing players how to play the game without just having to look up everything." So, I got to say your tutorials have literally saved the game for me and I am incredibly thankful for all the time, thought, and energy you put into making such well-made tutorials. Because I would not have had the patience to explore all these new updates and see just how much cool stuff has been added, I was one step away from going back to 1.12 and now I'm eagerly awaiting Sniffers.
its a bit late and i dont know if you ever found out, but traditionally icebox rooms were used to store foods, before refrigerators were invented, and they were essentially just a room deep in the earth that had ice in it, so i expect thats why it has ice blocks in it
Big tips: U may want to build a warden switch (it basically just disable the sculk shrieker), ilmango has already made one, so u can easily running around ancient city without worrying abt warden show up (Well, this may ruin the fun, so it's up to u)
I remember when they added Jungle temples to the 360 edition. My friends told me about it or I knew through some changelog or some thing, so I came home and loaded up a world trying to find one. This reminds me of that feeling, except I had absolutely no idea this was in the game, and I'm already established in a friend's multiplayer server. If only I found one in game before seeing this video. and no, I didn't look at any tweets or changelogs, I went in blind.
Maybe the icebox structure is where they store their food? Kinda like a fridge. Also perhaps the pillagers were stockpiling wool to cover the end city floors so as to not disturb the warden?
Correction: The warden spawns after triggering the shriekers 4 times not three (think of it as "3 strikes and the next one out" instead of "3 strikes and you're out).
One suggestion If you don't have any farm which associate mobs like iron farm , then simply go to settings and make your world to peaceful while looting the ancient city, as warden doesn't give that much good loot after being killed so killing him doesn't make any sense, just focus on looting the city and collecting new things.
If you go in with several stacks of wool and a water fall to retreat up, you can loot a city with nothing but the wool and some food easily. I've raided two and summoned the warden several times without dying once

It's actually the best tip! One don't need elytras or pearls, when you can just run away (especially along wool carpets) and hide for a minute

@@AstroNovelist54 you’ll see light like lava
Pro Tip: bring a bed, Ender Pearls of course and also a set of secondary armor, even iron armor will do, as long as the boots have feather falling. Place the bed, tap on the bed so you respawn there after you die. Place a chest next to the bed and put all your valuable items in there, like primary armor, elytra and everything you really do not want to lose. You don't need armor in an ancient city, because there are seldomly mobs to be found there and those should be easy to take out with a lesser set of armor and any cheap sword.
This way, if you get killed by the warden and should not be able to make it back in time, you will not cry like a baby over your stuff. Also the bed will help to respawn you in the area again, so you can continue ransacking the city.
Use silk touch enchantment, if you want to keep the sensors and shriekers to build a base alarm later or something. No worries, shriekers placed down arbitrarily by players do not summon the warden anymore.
Yeah good tips especially when i play on a hardcore world :D
Instead of crying over losing my stuff I will cry over losing my hardcore world
Not only that remember Breakjng shriekers will send a signal to sensors and other shriekers the only way you can raid an ancient city safely is sometimes giving up chest ,but I’m not like that when the warden spawns it will eventually find you your best bet is to use a pearl to teleport to another side of the city

I have been raiding ancient cities for over 3 weeks now. The key is to take out the shulk sensors (cuz shreakers take a bit longer to mine and also in key points are three or more) even while the warden is still spawning, so the site is neutralized for the next visit. Then use an ender pearl to throw in a direction that you have put your mind on beforehand, wait for the bastard to despawn and then just enderpearl back. That way back is recommended, because when you land properly, you don't even set off any sensors, if there are still some. I successfully looted a dozen of ancient cities by now and only fell victim to the Warden once in the beginning.
Wait so is there more than 1 ancient cities ?
@@entombedemotions yup
@@entombedemotions think of them like strongholds; there rare but there's still a handful of them
I'm really desperate of finding one. I have been to several caves now but didn't find it. Are there and advises for that?
@@KillertoastGaming did you watch where he explained where they generate?
I found that breaking the chest is much better than opening it as opening the chest has the potential to alert the shriekers twice (once opening and then when it closes) and breaking only does it once.
That's a good idea!
my only problem with that is your inv will be filled with junk if you don’t got Shulker boxes and it doesn’t matter how much vibrations you made in the chest as a chest opening will Activate a shrieker nonetheless breaking it won’t change that
Does the warden give up if you just freeze in place and make no more vibrations?
@@nimamaster6128 no it will smell you and track you from 120 blocks
@@nimamaster6128 It can smell you.
When looting an Ancient City for the first time, also bring along an anvil (or enough iron to make one) so the Swift Sneak enchantment can be applied to leggings ASAP.
Thanks
I have a shulker box just for miscellaneous useful stuff like that. I always have it on me
here's my take: there were 4 races in the world; humans, villagers, illagers, and piglins. they each ruled some huge cities. some horrible calamity occured with a massive outbreak of zombies. it devastated the humans, piglins, and villagers. i think the illagers from living underground (hence why their skin is grey) found a way to avoid infection and built the wardens for self defense. they kept the city clear of the dead and any other hostiles. something went horribly wrong and created the sculk. it spread and corrupted the wardens so the illagers fled to the surface to live in outposts and mansions.
thats a good theory
I don't really agree. I mean, the player is basically the God of a Minecraft world, you can do and kill whatever you want, while other creatures can't. Villagers are kind of the humans of Minecraft. Illagers are either their distant cousins by race or just straight up corrupted villagers who turned evil, for whatever reason. Piglins might be just the original inhabitants of hell (Nether), or maybe that's just what evil creatures turn into when they die and end up in the Nether...
I like the illager theory, as lack of sunlight can cause paler skin
And the corruption is nice
Minecraft lore
I think the piglins were native to the nether dimension. That's where all their ruined structures are. I think some official minecraft sources say netherite was all mined out and now there's only debris left - so I think the piglins ruined their dimension and tried to enter the overworld which caused them to have a massive zombie outbreak
8:20
I think the reason why there´s ice in the ice box structure is to store food and keep it from expiring and going bad by freezing it. I think it´s probably used as a fridge or freezer considering that there´s food in the chest with ice surrounding it.
I mean kingbdogs literaly calls it ancient fridge
I can’t find the ice box lol
@@thomasmorris2868each ancient city has random generation, but always has the large portal. In about 2/3 of all ancient cities, the icebox is found. Maybe try finding another one- good luck (;
My best funny bet was since its at bedrock lvl thet probably tried using ice to melt and destroy lava or get obsidian 😂
Though for practical purposes since ice is fast they probably were going to use it to sled from one side of the city to the next
that's exactly what i thought, cause all the loot is food and ice
I’m assuming the ice in the ice room was how the ancient city essentially kept a refrigerator in order to store all their perishables. Weird how you don’t have to worry about perishable items ever in Minecraft but hey it looks cool 😎
That makes sense
I think its to store snowballs to distract the warden
That's what I thought too!
And yesh haha, it looks really cool XD
Mojang did a reaally ice job on that
I thought the "ice box" room was self explanatory
Assuming the city itself isn’t a freezer already, ya know from being a mile underground
I’ve been spelunking a few times 3 different (non-tourist) caves and the way the air is constantly being rushed in normally from an underground river or similar every single time, cold as balls. I bet you realistically as long as you can breathe in the cave, that ice wasn’t placed there and it’s built up over time. Then again it’s Minecraft it doesn’t always follow logic
The note blocks on the top of the ice box is meant as a trap, since even if the player is sneaking, if they step on the pressure plate and trigger the note blocks, I think (I never tested this) that it sets off any nearby sensors/shriekers.
what if this was made by the ancient builders, they use it as a sort of alarm to recognize that the warden is near by also since they have so many carpet to prevent it from hearing them
@@Mr.Saucy_Lobster question is... Does it set off the warden?
i can tell you from experience those note blocks do alarm the warden
Not only that, but I am fairly certain it's there to teach you about sculk veins. Every single Ancient City I was in that had a fridge, had one note block exposed (which makes a sound when the pressure plate is triggered) and one that is covered by a sculk vein (whixh doesn't make a sound). I think it's there, besides a trap for the ones not careful enough, so it can teach us that sculk veins disable redstone currents/redstone powered blocks.
Which I have a sneaking suspicion is why the sculk sensors in the central structure are water logged - As I've never seen a water-logged vein, and this could be Mojangs way of making sure those sensors are guaranteed to perform their due redstone duties.
Edit: To make it clear, at circa 4:30 you can see that the fridge in the video is no exception to my experience.
@@Pecinskey I believe that note blocks simply don't make sound when any block is directly above it. I don't think the veins have any special redstone properties.
The achievement for dropping from world height to the bottom makes so much more sense now. They planned it all along, with a deep point in the world generating over a high point; genius.
Mt structures when?
The Warden takes 6.7 seconds to crawl out of the ground, several more sounds or close by sniffs to get angry, and several seconds more to Sonically-charged shriek you. Honestly I wonder if a smash and grab approach might be viable. As long as you're pretty careful about not getting stuck when it gets dark.
Thats the meta
Smash / grab and disarm sensors and shriekers then run away.
Efficiency 5 diamond hoe instantly mines sensors and shriekers.
Get silk touch you can pick em up
At max reach distance you can mine more faster somehow.
This tutorial is great, but I personally like to rush this area as fast as possible, as the loot gained early on can be a huge boost, as long as you have wool blocks spare.
you don't need any wool in advance cuz it can be mined at the city...
Tip: Place a wool carpet on top of the sculk shriekers to stop warden from spawning.
wait just one carpet? thats OP!
@@Elytra_Space it really is! 😌
This no longer works.
@@riznothumbsin which update?
Sadly patched
I raided 2 ancient cities, my first city I died many times, used the egg tactic some youtubers recommend, I don't recommend it, the more noise the warden picks up the angrier he gets. Raided second city without dying once, used a lot of wool and if the Warden starts spawning fly away and wait, the warden despawns really fast if you don't anger him. I highly recommend looting ancient cities the compass alone is worth the risk, but the best you can find in a ancient is swift sneak, must have enchantment for pants, makes building faster while holding shift
does the warden spawn in peaceful
Raided like 10 ancient cities on my locked hard world, its not hardcore, but I am having a blast tbh, I just travel with an elytra, rockets, and an ender chest when I'm going to take over a town (which I always do) near the ancient cities, I don't touch ancient cities that don't have a city on them though.
It's usually super easy to dig down and have the city have a direct entrance to the ancient city (sometimes caves make it almost impossible but you do what you do) in your town, as I don't like setting a bed soo low, and I always get sheep and legit breed them for 2 hours and gather wool + breed during this time, usually the cities have 2+ ancient cities near them so the first one I only have enough to do about half, go back and I can breed and gather wool again and finish it and when I go back for the third time, the sheep farm is huge.
There are soo many fucking sheep in some towns lol, the one city had a 45x45 area that was like 4 tiles down but still grew grass, and had soo many sheep that I couldn't even gather wool properly, they pushed me around, so I released half of them and it was legit like 400 sheep that took off, and I closed it off with a little less than half still in there, and it was still a pain to navigate.
@@alexdenommee3219 how do you even find that many cities?
@@thelurker1330 I'm on Java and I used chunkbase, its a no-cheats, hard-locked survival world non-hardcore, I just travelled and looked for areas with 2 things specifically:
2+ ancient cities
1+ village.
The village becomes a sheep breeding area for 30 minutes while I lure/breed as many as I humanly can and harvest their precious wool, then I dig tunnels to the deep dark, some tunnels are harder to work with when theirs a giant f*cking cavern, but when you can just simply mine directly down to it, its super easy.
I generally also gave up on wool and decided because I have soo many swift sneak 3 leggings, I just use ender pearls, sneak 3 leggings, and know where I am, and where I will pearl to when he spawns, I press Control + B (hitboxes) and watch his dumb butt from like 30 blocks away, I like to try to enderpearl towards the middle laneways with the grey wool on them, as they are usually 15-25 blocks away from any of the chests generally.
I religiously use night vision potions, its a completely different experience. I also bring an ender chest and fill it from my base with blaze rods, golden carrots, fireworks, etc various crap.
I don't use any gear ONCE I'm actually set with direct passage to the Ancient city EXCEPT swift sneak leggings, which are ridiculously better, its almost necessary to have swift sneak 3 in order to do this because its far quicker over the long run.
Also take a little time to watch a video on ancient cities, and their setups/various rooms, there is a bathhouse that can have 2 or 3 chests sometimes, etc, and realize the warden is simply a nothing burger, he's meant to be ignored and avoided simply.
If your in creative, he's fun, etc, but in survival, he's literally just a mob to avoid.
@@alexdenommee3219 you are a dirty cheater
The first time I discovered the deep dark, I had the luck to find that it was actually the entrance of an ancient city, I've watched a lot of CZcamsrs walking through the deep dark, but doing it myself is 10x scarier.
Ender pearls have saved my life countless times raiding the city. Definitely the MVP item in my hot bar during the raid.
Arrows and projectiles saved mine lol it makes sure you don't get stuck near a warden

If you need a lot of XP and quickly you’ll have to do some grinding first to make a fully reliable/never ending/consisten source of XP. I built a guardian farm in my survival world. Farm is by ianxofour. Check it out! I got to level 80 in like 2-3 minutes
The ease of mining sculk makes it’s a really good way to find diamonds actually. You can reveal a massive amount of blocks very quickly with and efficiency V hoe.
@@wokevirushandsanitzer5300 moss mining is a great idea too - just bring a moss block and bonemeal. Go to the lowest part of the world and bonemeal the ground. Most blocks turn to moss except the ores. I’ve found plenty diamonds this way
I like the red stone room it reminds me of the jungle temples way back when with the secret room, yes you could just break into it but you could also do a short, fun puzzle and learn a little bit
Echo shards should be used to make potions (hopefully,) like a silence potion maybe
This is an amazing idea.
Except you drink it or break it potentially alerting the sensors and shriekers that would be a risk for players who doesn't know how to raid the ancient city
Corrupted version with fermented spider eyes what would it make?
The other day i tried raiding an ancient city it's quite an experience
I definitely think Ancient Cities have potential to hold something far more sinister than what minecraft has ever created, especially when the center of the cities have a massive structure that resembles a portal.
It would be a cool concept to activate said portal with "keys" that are guarded by the "Wardens" (that would explain the meaning of their name)... idk, just a thought
You're channel is growing! And your content is worth a watch!
Thank you I appreciate that!
@@Eyecraftmc 🙌🙌
this was my first experience with the new biome, and holy crap this was eerie! the whole time i was on edge because of how creepy this whole city looks. the way mojang leads the player to believe that there used to be (somewhat) human inhabitants, with the wool to protect from the skulk. i am really excited to hear about the lore that comes from this
Theres also special music that plays when you go down in the deep dark, kinda increases the immersion and makes it pretty cool.
4:34 Pretty sure the noteblocks are there as a trap, when crouching around trying not to alert any wardens, you can accidentally step on the pressure plate and have that "oh sh*t" moment as it starts to spawn from the sound emmited by the noteblock
Whereas that one friend stompin and dancing on them as you explain this
The ice rooms might have functioned as cold storage rooms - to keep food fresh, seeing as the chests contained food items.
I can't wait for "Sculk catalyst xp farm" video
That Ender Chest strategy would have saved me a lot of pain. I'll start using it on dangerous missions from now on. Thanks for the tip.
also a great place to store your emeralds if you keep one in each village.
The note block entering the ice room is most likely something that makes noise which causes the warden to come towards you.
also a piss off when you don't notice it because it usually activates a shrieker if ones in the area.
Lore idea- Built by Pillager or similar species, they became highly advanced, built the portal and were wiped out by whatever they discovered on the other side. The skulk was a species in the other dimension that went back through the portal and eventually whatever was powering the portal ran out of power and the portal closed hence no other species taking over the overworld. Maybe in 1.20 they will add a way to power the portal again.
Tip: If you want smooth looting and avoid a Warden encounter, ALWAYS remove the Shierkers, as they are responsible for waking the Warden (It's helping me and my friends a lot to loot the ancient cities).
Isolating them with Wool is a good thing to do, but I would recommend manually removing them anyway.
And if you forget one, stay calm, it will only be activated after shouting twice more, and if the Warden spawns, leave the area with enderpearls or try not to get too close to him.
And as a comment said around here, it's a great place for a base as long as you remove all the Shierkers.
Uh what? They made it so you have to trigger four shrieked to summon the warden
Hey I was waiting for this video I'm sure gonna use these tips in my new 1.19 survival world!❤️
Thank you for another interesting and helpful video.
Went to an ancient city for the first time after watching, and was mind blown. The deep dark is possibly my favourite biome now. The Ancient City itself is terrifyingly spectacular, beautiful, has so many elements within it and is shockingly huge. There are SO many loot chests as well, all with such valuable items!
Absolutely splendid 👏
pro tip to find an ancient city with 0-no effort: copy your world, turn on cheats in the copied world and use the command “/locate structure ancient_city”, and it’ll show you where the nearest one is
Love your videos dude, I find they always have bits of obscure but useful info that other minecraft youtubers don't have in their videos. Plus the prepared chests rlly come in handy 🥰 keep up the great work
I’ve learned the hard way multiple times to not even wear good armor. Great tip with the ender chest and shulkers will help a ton.
Never thought I would see a generated structure in Minecraft that is a walk-in refrigerator, icebox room is pretty cool.
At least you realize it was a refrigerator I was really beginning to think everyone else in the comments didn't care or was really stupid .
I'm an old minecraft player, and haven't played regularly since around 1.8 full release.(started in 1.2.1 beta) I love your videos for teaching me the lots I have missed. Thank you
Great tips, thank you 😊
I think it's pretty clear that the "ice box" is literally that. An ice box, which to those unaware is what refrigerators used to be called, or are still called by some. It has important perishable foods in it that make sense for an ancient civilization to have to preserve food.
Yeah I don't get why any youtubers I watched going over this didn't realized that 😅
@@JesusDied4ForYou I’d imagine because it’s kind of archaic now.
Hey. Thank you for all you man. Your vids have been my helping hand lol. Just getting back into Minecraft. Love the channel 😎😎
The note block and pressure plate is most likely a chime for someone walking into what was once a store. Theres an icebox for food, so there was more than likely stores, and just if you were to walk into a small business and a little bell gets hit by the door, same thing in minecraft
My strategy to pacify the ancient city/deep dark is just to get a swiftness potion and leg it through the ancient city breaking all the shriekers in an area, then tower up and shoot any wardens or wait for them to dig back down into the ground. You can then just raid the loot, break the sensors if you want them because there shouldn’t be anymore shriekers so it should be safe as long as you don’t run into one as soon as it spawns when you’re running through it initially.
I think the ice is there to like make sure the food doesn’t go back because people in the past would put yheir food in boxes/rooms with ice to keep it from spoiling
Very informative and useful guide! Thank you :)
Fun fact: diamonds are incredibly common In ancient cities. If you mine most of the skulk, you'll find that there are alot of diamond ore. Pair this with fortune, and you can get a ridiculous amount.
Your videos are very helpful, if it weren't for them I would probably not even know what the warden is 😳
Glad to help :)
Wardens are actually pretty easy to avoid once they spawn in provided you aren't stuck in an enclosed space. They don't spawn immediately when a shrieker is activated (unless you break it,) and also during it's spawn in animation it can't aggro onto you. I found that even destroying a shrieker while it's going off still gives you ample time to get out of range with his spawn animation, no elytra needed.
Also because no enemies spawn in ancient cities as opposed to a regular deep dark biome, he's alot quicker to despawn since he doesn't get distracted by sound made by hostile mobs. Ironically the warden is the less dangerous because of that fact since you can spend as little time as possible with him patrolling the area.
your videos are so great and helpfful thank you for making these!
Thanks man this helps a lot!!! Having troubles finding the city though
The ice room is meant to be a fridge or food cellar. They said on Twitter that it's meant to keep the food in the chest cool.
One ancient city I was in spawned with a shrieker right next to the chest in the ice room. So when you open the trapdoor the shrieker went off. So now I just avoid the ice rooms since the loot isn’t good anyway
Just make sure you haven’t triggered a shrieker in more than 10 minutes, get down the trapdoor as fast as possible, and destroy the shrieker before it can recharge and shriek again (about 10 seconds).
It really sucks when there’s two shriekers. Then you have to destroy the trapdoor on one shriek, destroy one shrieker, and then locate the second shrieker. To avoid spawning wardens, you have to do something else for 10 minutes after each shriek so you have some leeway in case you accidentally trigger two shrieks close together.
Your vids are so good, love your work and i thank you for learning me things like that
I love the sound of genuine fear and anxiety in your voice while exploring the city 😭😭
8:40 the ice is because before people had refrigerators they had to use ice to cool their food. The aincent city is set to have been built by the ancient builders before fridges existed so they used it ti cool their food
Nice video 👍👍👍 keep it up 👍

Cool! I was just wondering why you were using 1.19 Pre-release 2 instead of 1.19.
This was pre-recorded but nothing has changed since then
Just subbed, thank you!
this is so helpful!! thank youu
There is obviously some lore going on with these cities. I wanna say it’s a portal, activating portal will start boss fight, where you end up fighting with the warden against creature from portal. But the fact that every ancient city, like 100% of the time has this structure directly in the middle of city, it has to mean something. Only one music disc that sounds super sus, and the warden himself being trigger by sound like a self defense alarm system, and his name deprives from the meaning “guard” like it’s obvy. I’m starting to think there’s no other dimension now, it’s just a portal to spawn a boss fight. And you fight in the ancient city. With the warden.
I think the portal is to the skulk dimension, and whoever lived there beforehand opened the portal and let the warden in. A warden is a guard, perhaps for the portal, so when it was opened it defended its dimension
Go search up flim theory to see mattpatts theory
@@nerd2594 just watched it. Yea that was pretty good theory. I will say, as a player I would be kinda bummed if that’s it though. Like it’s a cool addition to the game and fills it some lore if that theory of that video is correct. But as a player it’s kinda a bummer. Open up a new “city” with same loot as the end, and a new “boss” fight that doesn’t drop anything significant.
@@pinkzki6473 maybe, but it's still a new biom(however you spell it,) and a new big ass structure, witch can give items that can completely change Redstone.
I think it’s a security system, to isolate the city from dangerous mobs.
I think that the ancient builders are the ones that made the ancient cities and the ice room is made to store snow balls to distract the warden if they summoned him by accident
I think that the ancient builders tried to benifit from the warden by building the city near the warden so he try to kill any thing that makes a noise
All have too say about the ice rooms is, what do we call boxes/rooms filled with ice and or supper cold? And what do we use them for?
(And before electricity people use ice boxes cooled with ice as refrigerator/freezers.)
Excellent content bro, thx!
Thank you it really helped
My theory as to why the Pillagers stored so much wool is probably because they made some sort of ritual to summon to warden to protect their loot, but they knew the warden was a dangerous individual even if you summoned it, it probably is hostile to everything it can perceive and the pillagers knew that but they also knew about wool being sound proof, so they gathered a ton of wool to manage to walk around their city without alerting their warden guardian and the enemies that didn't know about sound proof would perish by alerting the warden
Wool saved us from this nightmare
You are the best! Love all of your videos. No filler, just great content. You should be “CZcamsr of the Year” if they had such a thing.
Very helpful keep up the good work. :D
I did some experimenting and escaping the warden is very easy. Here's how, since the warden is blind all you need is some snowballs to throw somewhere else when it is chasing you the snowballs will distract it and will give you the opportunity to sneak away! Hope this helps!
Just a warning, there is a bug where all your items instantly despawn upon being killed by the warden.
I'm 19, I've been playing Minecraft since I was 9, I used to know everything before 1.13, and now I got out of touch and I have no idea what I'm doing in caves, the nether, the ocean, and even villages feel extremely alien, or as if I'm missing hundreds of accessible features that I could easily figure out. But you said it exactly "Something that Minecraft lacks a little bit of is showing players how to play the game without just having to look up everything." So, I got to say your tutorials have literally saved the game for me and I am incredibly thankful for all the time, thought, and energy you put into making such well-made tutorials. Because I would not have had the patience to explore all these new updates and see just how much cool stuff has been added, I was one step away from going back to 1.12 and now I'm eagerly awaiting Sniffers.
its a bit late and i dont know if you ever found out, but traditionally icebox rooms were used to store foods, before refrigerators were invented, and they were essentially just a room deep in the earth that had ice in it, so i expect thats why it has ice blocks in it
On Bedrock Edition I've been getting hostile mob spawns, do you know if this is intentional or a bug?
If you have not already found out, it is a bug
Me too the hostile mobs keep spawning and trigger the shrieker which is really annoying
Same, mine might be because of an exposed mineshaft right above part of the ancient city.
Big tips: U may want to build a warden switch (it basically just disable the sculk shrieker), ilmango has already made one, so u can easily running around ancient city without worrying abt warden show up (Well, this may ruin the fun, so it's up to u)
How?

Your welcome
it wasn't built by pillagers, rather the pillagers came and explored it long after it was abandoned, but also before you get there
I remember when they added Jungle temples to the 360 edition. My friends told me about it or I knew through some changelog or some thing, so I came home and loaded up a world trying to find one.
This reminds me of that feeling, except I had absolutely no idea this was in the game, and I'm already established in a friend's multiplayer server. If only I found one in game before seeing this video. and no, I didn't look at any tweets or changelogs, I went in blind.
Going in blind to a new update can always be a lot of fun :)
Super in depth and helpful
Maybe the icebox structure is where they store their food? Kinda like a fridge. Also perhaps the pillagers were stockpiling wool to cover the end city floors so as to not disturb the warden?
Correction: The warden spawns after triggering the shriekers 4 times not three (think of it as "3 strikes and the next one out" instead of "3 strikes and you're out).
Ty this helped me a lot
Thank you I love your channel

Important tip: if the warden appears, don't try to fight it, you will die so just try to get away
One suggestion If you don't have any farm which associate mobs like iron farm , then simply go to settings and make your world to peaceful while looting the ancient city, as warden doesn't give that much good loot after being killed so killing him doesn't make any sense, just focus on looting the city and collecting new things.
If you go in with several stacks of wool and a water fall to retreat up, you can loot a city with nothing but the wool and some food easily. I've raided two and summoned the warden several times without dying once
