The specific instructions are: Isometric images of structures
An ancient city is a palatial structure found in the deep dark, harboring chests containing items that cannot be found anywhere else or that help a player avoid a warden. It always spawns at y level -52.
Structure
Environment aesthetics
An ancient city features a very large palace that stretches throughout a deep dark biome. The palace is made up of long corridors with gray wool floors to prevent vibrations as well as some smaller ruins off to the side of the main corridors, which contain between one or two loot chests. The city center features a frame resembling a warden's head, where there are reinforced deepslate blocks, which is an unobtainable material in Survival mode. Other unique blocks such as soul lanterns and candles as well as different forms of deepslate can be found here.
Redstone circuits
Underneath the frame at the city center lies a series of hidden rooms with naturally generating redstone circuitry, such as piston doors and logic gates. The secret entrance is located at the base of the structure, in front of the frame. There is a sculk sensor above it. Each variant of the city center uses a different redstone circuit to conceal the entrance. Sometimes there is nothing in front of the frame. Other times, there can be a chest or a set of walls in front of the frame.

An ancient city is the only place in the Overworld where soul sand, soul soil and polished basalt can generate naturally. It is also the only place in the game where a skeleton skull can generate naturally.
Loot
The loot in the chests includes several useful items for exploring the ancient city, such as snowballs and the Swift Sneak enchantment. In Java Edition, each ancient city chest contains items drawn from 2 pools, with the following distribution:
| Item | Stack Size [A] | Weight [B] | Chance [C] | Avg. per chest [D] |

'''Chains''' are metallic decoration [[block]]s.
== Obtaining ==
=== Breaking ===
Chains can be mined using any [[pickaxe]]. If mined without a pickaxe, it drops nothing.
{{breaking row|Chain|Pickaxe|Wood|horizontal=1}}
=== Natural generation ===
Chains generate in [[bastion remnant]]s and sometimes in [[ruined portal]]s that generate in the Nether. They always generate above [[magma cube]] spawners, also found in [[bastion]]s.
Chains can also generate in [[mineshafts]]. They generate on the sides of a wooden bridge (a mid-air corridor) when the distance between the bridge and the highest solid block below it is higher than the distance to the lowest solid block above it. Chains here generate vertically in a pillar between the bridge and the ceiling. The lowest block of the pillar, connecting the chain to the bridge, is always an [[oak fence]].

=== Crafting ===
{{Crafting

}}
== Usage ==
Chains can be used to suspend [[bell]]s, [[hanging sign]]s, or both types of [[lantern]]s (normal lanterns and soul lanterns), as the chain texture connects to the chain of the lantern seamlessly as if it were part of it, and it connects the hanging sign chains together. Chains do not require a supporting block to be placed whether it is on the top, next to it or at the bottom. It can exist completely free-standing in mid air<ref>{{bug|MC-178791}}</ref> and it can be rotated. Chains connect horizontally or vertically, but not across different orientations (so a chain with N orientation does not connect to a chain with E orientation in the adjacent block).
Horizontal chains one block above a surface may be walked over. Horizontal chains two blocks above a surface prevent players from traveling past them. Vertical chains block travel if targeted directly, but may be skirted.
Precision is required, but chains can be walked on, allowing for inconspicuous, although somewhat costly, bridges.
Chains can be pushed by [[piston]]s without being broken.

An '''egg''' is an [[item]] that can be used to craft [[food]] items, or thrown for a chance to spawn [[chick]]s on impact.
== Obtaining ==
=== Mob loot ===
{{see also|Tutorials/Egg farming}}
A [[chicken]] drops an egg item every 5–10 minutes. The theoretical average would be expected at 1 egg every 7.5 minutes, or 0.1333 eggs per minute.
A [[fox]] sometimes spawns holding an egg, which it always drops upon death. Alternatively, a player dropping a food item causes the fox to drop the egg.
=== Chest loot ===
{{LootChestItem|egg}}
== Usage ==
=== Crafting ingredient ===
{{crafting usage}}
=== Combat ===
Players are able to throw eggs and deal knockback to [[mob]]s (but not other players{{only|JE|short=1}}<ref>{{bug|MC-3179|||WAI}}</ref>{{until|JE Combat Tests}}), but no damage is dealt, similar to a [[snowball]]. Likewise, throwing eggs at [[neutral mobs]] provokes them. Eggs can also be fired from [[dispenser]]s and are affected by gravity.
=== Spawning chickens ===
When thrown by a dispenser or by pressing the {{control|use}} button, an egg has a {{fraction|1|8}} (12.5%) chance of spawning a [[chick]]. If this occurs, there is a {{fraction|1|32}} (3.125%) chance of spawning three additional chicks (on average, 1 out of every 256 eggs spawns 4 chicks). In other words, whenever an egg is thrown, there is a {{fraction|31|256}} chance of spawning 1 chick and a {{fraction|1|256}} chance of spawning four chicks.
The expected value of the number of chicks an egg produces is {{fraction|35|256}} or 13.7%. This means that on average, a chick is spawned every 7.3 eggs, a stack of 16 eggs spawns 2.188 chicks, and a full inventory including the hotbar and off-hand (<code>37 * 16 = 592</code> eggs) is expected to spawn approximately 81 chicks.
== Sounds ==

== Issues ==
{{issue list}}
== Trivia ==
* Eggs break mid-fall if hit by another projectile; the chance of spawning a chick is not affected.
* Throwing an egg at a [[nether portal]] breaks the egg when it hits the portal.
* A thrown egg faces toward the [[player]] in first-person view, while it appears rotated horizontally in third-person view. This is the case for all throwable [[item]]s ([[ender pearl]]s, eggs, [[snowball]]s, and all throwable [[potion]]s).
