Ancient Debris statistics

  1. While I know some wikis have Ancient Debris being more common at Y=15, I thought I'd study it myself a bit on a Vanilla SP world.
    By replacing non-Ancient Debris blocks with air and looking at what Y value they were found at, I have some results.

    So far, I've looked through 160 chunks, from Y=7 to Y=23, a total of 186 Ancient Debris blocks found. 27.5% chunks had no Ancient Debris blocks. The median number of Ancient Debris blocks per chunk was 1, with an average of 1.16 blocks.

    Y value = #AD
    23 = 1
    22 = 5
    21 = 6
    20 = 12
    19 = 8
    18 = 9
    17 = 13
    16 = 14
    15 = 24
    14 = 30
    13 = 24
    12 = 19
    11 = 6
    10 = 2
    9 = 6
    8 = 6
    7 = 1

    The "sweet spot" would seem to be Y=12 to Y=17. These Y values accounted for 124 out of the 186 Ancient Debris blocks, or 66%. I did not examined the occurrence based on Nether Biomes.
    I assume these occurrence rates would be the same on EMC.
  2. Thank you for this!! this is awesome!

  3. I hope this was a Mojang easter egg. :p
  4. It was actually something like 1.1562 or so, I just rounded up.
    I'm going see about tracking the biome type before I look at too many more chunks.
