How do i find stuff around ? Like ruins, castles and such - how do i find all the nice materials and templates i read about on the wiki? I know what to look for, just wanted to get some pointers on how to explore more.

Playing pure vanilla, having a server on which kid and me are building.

    You can make a stair-like pattern and dig down a bit for rarer resources.

    Other than that you can check where certain things spawn in the Minecraft Wiki. Some things only spawn or are more common in certain biomes.

    I also run in a straight line when I first start a new world until I find some resources that I want. I don’t have any gear at that point so it’s pretty low stakes.

    If you really want to get into it you can enter your seed into various services and it will tell you where things like villages are.

      Hey thanks! We started the world, then put the seed into online map service, then made a half a continet trek to a place between two villages, pillager outpost and plenty of ruins. Was fun to travel, dig a hole underground to make beds overnight and use trapdoor to hide, then first thing early unbuild everything and continue.
