Buried Treasure Overview

The Buried Treasure.

Buried Treasure is one of the generated structures in Minecraft. It is a Chest buried on the Beach and sometimes on the Ocean floor, that contains loots. Because Buried Treasure is only a Chest, it makes Buried Treasure the smallest generated structure in Minecraft right now.

Due to its size, Buried Treasure is hard to find. The player needs to use the Buried Treasure Map to find it. Buried Treasure Map can be found either on Ocean Ruin(s) or Shipwreck’s Chest.

What makes Buried Treasure unique is that its loot always contains 1 Heart of The Sea. And Heart of The Sea can only be obtained through Buried Treasure.

Ocean Ruins | Shipwreck

Like I mentioned earlier, the player can get a Buried Treasure Map from either Ocean Ruin(s) or Shipwreck’s Chest. You can use Ocean Ruin(s) or Shipwreck seeds on this site to help you find the Buried Treasure Map.

You can go to the Beach or Ocean to find the Ocean Ruin(s) or Shipwreck. 

After you have reached the Ocean Ruin(s) or Shipwreck, try to find the Chest. Here are some things you need to know: 

1. Most of the Ocean Ruin(s) Chests are buried, so you need to dig them out.
2. Some Ocean Ruin may not have a chest at all.
3. The maximum number of Chest in a Shipwreck is depending on how wrecked the Shipwreck is. You can get up to 3 Chests.
4. Usually, you can find multiple Buried Treasure Maps from Ocean ruin(s) or Shipwreck’s Chest, and it leads to the same place.

How to Find a Buried Treasure Using its Map

After you have got the Buried Treasure Map, now it is time to open it. Now you can see the red X. Yes, that is where the Buried Treasure is located.
