When players enter the world of Minecraft, they will explore all kinds of biomes and structures. Each structure generates in specific locations and biomes with specific layouts, mob spawns, and chest loot. These builds, along with biomes, are one of the main reasons players venture far and wide into the game's world.

However, not all structures generate the best loot. Some of these are simple features made up of common blocks. Since looting precious items is the name of the game in Minecraft, players must check out locations that have several chests or special mobs that drop rare and valuable items.

Villages are one of the best structures to loot. Players can find these settlements in several biomes, each with different configurations, block combinations, huts, and even villagers. It is so helpful that speedrunners often try to find a village while trying to set a world record for completing the game.

Though players will not find rare and precious loot from villages, they are excellent during the early stages of the game since they offer basic resources like wood, stone, and even iron.

Mojang added a new Deep Dark cave biome and the Ancient City structure to the game in the 1.19 update. This is one of the most dangerous places to explore since any noise the player makes will trigger sculk blocks, which will wake up the fearsome Warden mob.

However, players can quietly obtain some of the best loot from these structures if their approach is cautious enough. Several chests are scattered around the place with rare items like enchanted books, enchanted golden apples, music disc fragments, etc.

From enchanted diamond gear to Elytra, these structures offer quite a lot. To add to that, users can even gather shulker shells that can greatly help them store more items in their inventory.
