Have you ever stumbled upon a shipwreck or an underwater ruin, and found an empty map inside of the chest? That’s called a ‘Buried Treasure Map’, and with it, you can explore like a pirate towards the big red X to find yourself some valuable items. In this article, we’ll be going over Minecraft’s Buried Treasure, how to find it, and diving deeper into a special item that can be beneficial for you.
All about Minecraft’s Buried Treasure
Minecraft’s 1.13 Aquatic Update revamped the ocean biomes in the game, creating new structures like the shipwreck, and underwater ruins. Shipwrecks contain basic loot, but the most valuable find is the “Buried Treasure Map,” which leads to a hidden chest buried underground with rare items inside.
How to find Buried Treasure in Minecraft?
Locating Minecraft Buried Treasure can be an easy task once you have the map. Once the map has been obtained, you’ll be able to see yourself on the map as the white dot. The location of the buried treasure chest is displayed by a red X on the map. When you get closer to the map’s general area, it will fill with color.
The best way to check which direction you’re heading is viewing which direction you’re facing, whether that’s North, South, West, or East. Utilizing Lunar Client’s Direction HUD Mod is perfect for this occasion as you’ll be able to view which direction you’re facing, making exploration towards the treasure chest much easier.
Once you’ve arrived at the red X from the map, there are two ways to locate the buried treasure chest. The first method is having the end of the white dot, appear 1 pixel below the center of the red X. This means that you’ll be able to dig straight down towards the chest. The other method is using Lunar Client’s Chunk Borders Mod to view where the middle of the chunk is.
Loot found in Buried Treasure
Once you’ve found the buried treasure chest, you’ll be able to obtain valuable items such as Iron, Gold, Emeralds, Diamonds, and Cooked Cod/Salmon. However, one item that stands out from the rest is the “Heart of the Sea”.
What is the “Heart of the Sea”
The “Heart of the Sea” is a special item used to craft a conduit which can be utilized as a helpful tool for players wanting to breath underwater, especially useful if you don’t have Water Breathing potions.
How to craft and activate a Conduit in Minecraft?
Crafting a conduit in Minecraft requires you to place 8 Nautilus shells around the Heart of the Sea in a crafting table. Once crafted, you’ll then need to place Prismarine blocks around the conduit underwater.
To activate the conduit in Minecraft, you’ll need to make sure the conduit is in the center of the building, with a block gap above and below it. Once that’s done, place a block on top, plus below the gap. From there, use the rest of the Prismarine blocks as follows:
