About the Buried Treasure Finder
Buried treasure chests hide under the sand on beaches. Each one holds a heart of the sea, which you need for a conduit, plus iron, gold, emeralds, and sometimes diamonds. Normally you find them with a treasure map from a shipwreck or ocean ruin. A buried treasure finder reads your seed and shows where the chests are, so you can dig straight down.
What you get on this page:
- Closest buried treasure first: the 12 nearest chests to spawn or any X and Z
- Block coordinates: the chest sits at the center of its chunk
- Copy and go: a ready /tp command for each chest
- Beach view: zoom in on the seed map to see the beaches
How to Use the Buried Treasure Finder
Step 1: Enter Your Seed
Type /seed in chat and paste the number.
Step 2: Pick a 1.13+ Version
Buried treasure was added in 1.13 (Update Aquatic).
Step 3: Find Buried Treasure
Leave Search from blank to search around spawn, or type any X and Z, then press Find buried treasure.
Step 4: Dig
Stand on the X and Z and dig down. In Java the chest sits at the center of the chunk, usually a few blocks under the sand.

What’s Inside a Buried Treasure Chest
- Heart of the sea, always
- Iron, gold, and emeralds
- Diamonds, sometimes
- Prismarine crystals, cooked fish, TNT, and leather armor
What Is a Heart of the Sea For?
Craft a conduit with a heart of the sea and nautilus shells. A conduit gives Conduit Power underwater: breathing, night vision, and faster mining.
Buried Treasure Map Finder
Treasure maps come from shipwreck map chests and ocean ruin chests. The map shows a red X on a beach. The finder skips the map and gives you the coordinates from the seed.
