Minecraft: How To Find Buried Treasure

Buried Treasure is a type of loot chest in Minecraft that features a variety of valuable items and crafting materials. While the loot spawn will differ depending on if the version is Java or Bedrock, Buried Treasure will always produce at least one Heart Of The Sea, a rare crafting resource required to construct a Conduit, the structure capable of enabling players to conduct underwater activities with ease. This loot chest also has a good chance of generating several Iron Ingots, Gold Ingots, and even Diamonds. Continue reading to learn how to find a Buried Treasure chest in Minecraft. 

Finding Buried Treasure In Minecraft

To find Buried Treasure in Minecraft, players will need an Explorer Map specifically called the Buried Treasure Map. While Cartographer Villagers can sell Explorer Maps for Emeralds, the best-guaranteed method of obtaining a Buried Treasure Map is discovering and looting a Shipwreck in Minecraft.

According to Minecraft Wiki, Shipwrecks can naturally generate within all Ocean Biome variants, Beaches, and Snowy Beaches. Typically, they will appear underwater, but it is possible for these structures to spawn above the water or beached on the shore. Additionally, Shipwrecks can be found inside Ocean Monuments, Icebergs, Underwater Ruins, and aquatic Ravines. Since the spawn is randomized, players must rely on the RNG of their world generation to find Shipwrecks. On the other hand, Minecraft fans can use a world Seed with a guaranteed generation of Shipwrecks near the player spawn point. Since Shipwrecks have a 100% chance of Buried Treasure Maps, this is undoubtedly the easiest method of encountering these structures.

After finding a Shipwreck in Minecraft, players can loot the Buried Treasure Map from its chest and begin their search for the Buried Treasure chest. Buried Treasure can spawn on Beaches and Snowy Beaches in both Java and Bedrock Editions. The chest can also occasionally appear underwater. Nevertheless, digging is typically required to find the Treasure, as it does not spawn exposed to sunlight. Using the Buried Treasure Map, players can track down the red X marking where the chest is located. After arriving at the X’s spot, begin digging within the vicinity to find the Buried Treasure in Minecraft. The chest will spawn by itself, so players do not need to be wary of any hidden traps or obstacles that might harm them. 

Minecraft is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox One X|S, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS.
