Three chests worth finding

Most wrecks have up to three chests: a map chest, a supply chest and a treasure chest. Each holds different loot, so check all of them.

• Map chest: a buried treasure map that leads to a chest holding a heart of the sea.
• Supply chest: bread, carrots, potatoes, paper, wheat and sometimes a bit of tnt or coal.
• Treasure chest: iron, gold, emeralds and now and then a diamond.

Beached wrecks sit half on land, so you can reach them without diving. Sunken ones lie on the sea floor and need air. Turtle helmets, potions of water breathing or a few air pockets help a lot.

Chests may also hold enchanted books, leather armor and sometimes a map to another structure.

Coastal start, hunting for buried treasure

On a beach, sand and sugar cane are everywhere, and sea turtles lay eggs at night. Craft a boat early and row along the shore. Drowned wander out of the water at night, so keep a sword at hand.

The treasure map shows a red X. Use a boat and dig in the marked chunk to find buried treasure. It always holds a heart of the sea, which is the key ingredient for a conduit.

• Bring a shovel to dig quickly through sand and gravel.
• Pack food, because the trip can be long.
• Set a bed on shore so you can respawn near the coast.

A trident from a drowned makes a strong first ranged weapon.
