What Are Buried Treasures?
As we mentioned earlier, buried treasure chests were introduced with the Minecraft 1.13 update (dubbed “The Update Aquatic”). This was a major update that added a lot of new mobs, items, structures, and blocks into the game, and it also added buried treasures as a naturally generated structure.
Buried Treasure is a chest full of items that are buried deep underground. You will have to dig several blocks to get it. It can occur in any biome. The items you can find in this chest are:
- Heart of the Sea
- Name Tag
- TNT
- Lead
- Gold Ingot
- Book and Quill
- Bottle o’ Enchanting
- Cake
- Chainmail Helmet
- Iron Ingot
- Iron Sword
- Chainmail Leggings
- Chainmail Boots
- Potion of Regeneration
- Diamond
- Potion of Water Breathing
- Prismarine Crystals
- Music Disc (Mellohi)
- Music Disc (Wait)
- Leather Tunic
- Emerald
Note that the Heart of the Sea (used to craft a conduit) can only be found in a buried treasure chest while playing the survival mode. This item will be present in every buried chest. A Conduit is a block that can give you conduit powers, and it can attack hostile mobs underwater. Conduit power is awesome as it lets you see and breathe underwater (the breath bar will not run out), and it also increases the mining speed while submerged. It also lets you sleep in a waterlogged bed.
You also have to know that you can only get items like Cake, Chainmail Helmet, Iron Ingot, Music Disc (Mellohi), Music Disc (Wait), Potion of Regeneration, and Lead in the Bedrock edition of the game.
You can only find a buried treasure with the help of a treasure map.
Minecraft Treasure Maps
Treasure maps are most commonly found in shipwrecks and underwater ruins. You can find these structures underwater, but you will be able to spot them above ground, too, albeit rarely. This is what a shipwreck looks like:
Treasure maps are found in map chests located in these shipwrecks. Map chests look like normal chests.
Equip the treasure map. The white cross marks your spot, while the red cross marks the place where the treasure is buried. If you are far away from the treasure, your location will be marked by a white circle at the edge of the map. Move in the direction opposite the circle to get closer to the treasure chest.
