Finding treasure from a map in Minecraft
There are two places players can find a treasure map in Minecraft, and they’re both in the ocean. Ocean ruins and shipwrecks will often have chests, and those chests will usually (but not always) have treasure maps. The treasure on them can be near or far, but it will always be the closest treasure in the world.
Players can use the treasure map just like their regular map. Minecraft treasure hunters should travel in the direction of the X until they find themselves on the map. This is signified by the map beginning to receive some color. After that, players can reorient and continue towards the X.
In Minecraft, X does mark the spot, but it’s not totally precise. The X is relatively small, but it does constitute a pretty large area of land. Treasure will usually be found on small islands, but not always. Players should get as close to the X as possible and begin digging.
There’s no real secret to finding the exact block that the chest is on, but it is usually under the sand (it has been known to be underwater and under a rock before, though). Players should dig down several blocks and in a large area. Torches to break the falling sand and a shovel are very helpful.
Minecraft players will eventually find the treasure, but sometimes it takes a long time. It is worth it, though, because the following has a chance to spawn in the loot:
Heart of the Sea- 100%Iron Ingot- 99. 4%Gold ingot- 88%Cooked Cod- 75%Cooked Salmon- 75%Leather Tunic- 75%Iron Sword- 75%TNT- 62. 7%Emerald- 59. 9%Prismarine Crystals- 59. 9%Diamond- 59. 9%
In Bedrock Edition, these will also be in the loot pool:
Chainmail Helmet- 57. 2%Chainmail Chestplate 57. 2%Chainmail Leggings- 57. 2%Chainmail Boots- 57. 2%Potion of Water Breathing- 46. 9%Lead- 34. 3%Name tag- 34. 3%Potion of Regeneration- 34. 3%Book and Quill- 18. 9%Mellohi music disc- 18. 9%Wait music disc- 18. 9%Bottle O’ Enchanting- 11. 8%Cake- 4. 1%
It’s definitely worthwhile to spend a lot of time looking for treasure.
