Ancient Cities are massive underground palatial structures located in Deep Dark biomes at Y=-52. They contain Warden spawners, Silence Armor Trims, and secret redstone labs.
Ancient Cities generate exclusively beneath mountain ranges in Deep Dark biomes around Y=-52. Avoid triggering Sculk Shriekers to keep the Warden dormant.
Chest corridors contain the ultra-rare Silence Armor Trim template (1.2% chance), Ward Armor Trim, Swift Sneak III leggings, and Enchanted Golden Apples.
Underneath the central frame structure lies a secret redstone laboratory displaying target block triggers, redstone comparators, and lectern mechanisms.

How do I avoid spawning the Warden in an Ancient City?
Crouch-walk with Wool boots, use Wool carpets to dampen vibrations, and destroy Sculk Sensors and Sculk Shriekers before they trigger 4 times.
