An Ancient City is a generated structure found in the Deep Dark, harbouring loot chests containing items that cannot be found anywhere else.
Structure
The city features a massive palace-like structure that stretches throughout the biome. Unique blocks as well as Deepslate can be found here. The loot features new abilities, including a new enchantment.
Trivia
The pillars that the redstone lamps are a part of contain Sculk Sensors and water.[1]
It is the only place where you could find soul sand, soul soil and basalt in the overworld.
