1. Find a Shipwreck

First, you need to find a shipwreck in Minecraft. A shipwreck looks like the ruins of a sunken ship and is found in Ocean, River and Beach biomes. Shipwrecks usually spawn underwater, however in rare cases, you may find a shipwreck on land in a Beach biome.

This is what a shipwreck looks like:

2. Look for a Map Chest

Each shipwreck can have up to 3 chests, depending on the size of the shipwreck – Map Chest, Treasure Chest and Supply Chest.

To find the Buried Treasure, you will need to look for the Map Chest in the shipwreck.

Open the Map Chest and move the Buried Treasure Map to your inventory.

The white dot shows your location and it also indicates the direction that you are facing. The red X shows the location of the Buried Treasure. Move towards the Buried Treasure. As you move closer, the map detail will fill in.
