### World generation

Ancient City

* Now generate with valuable loot that includes the "otherside" music disc, Potions of Regeneration II, enchanted books, enchanted iron and diamond leggings, enchanted diamond hoes, and enchanted golden apples.
	+ If the frame of reinforced deepslate generates with a chest in front, it will always contain one golden apple (a hint about how to open the secret door below).
	+ Has different levels and open spaces, with several types of ruins and wall structures.
	+ Some of these structures contain dark oak logs, planks, and fences; cyan, light blue, and blue wool and carpets; ladders; ice and its variants; note blocks; stone pressure plates; and iron trapdoors opened with levers.
* Hidden underneath the frame of reinforced deepslate are several rooms containing redstone mechanisms that serve to introduce new players to their function.
