Ancient Cities is a new structure added to Minecraft 1.19 inside the Deep Dark biome. These are huge structures that will generate at the bottom of the overworld, between Y level -11 and -41.

Types of loot present in Ancient Cities in Minecraft 1.19

1) Swift Sneak

One of the most interesting loot players can find in Ancient Citites is the new enchantment book in Minecraft 1.19 snapshot called Swift Sneak. This new enchantment can be applied to boots so that players can walk quickly while they are in sneak mode. There are three levels to this enchantment, with the highest level allowing players to sneak as fast as they can walk.

Unfortunately, this enchantment can only be found in these structures as chest loot. However, the exact availability of the enchantment may change in the final version of the update.

Snowballs are another item that can be found in the structure. Though they are not the most valuable items, they are still highly useful when dealing with the Warden. Players can throw them to make a sound, distracting the powerful blind mob.
