Minecraft Buried Treasure Finder

Find every buried treasure chest in your Minecraft world from its seed — with the exact block to dig on, no shipwreck map required. Click a result to jump there, copy the coordinates, or grab a ready-made /tp command.

Buried treasure is how you get a conduit: every chest guarantees a heart of the sea, and nothing else in the game generates one. Chain the nearest few chests and the rest of the loot — iron, gold, emeralds, the odd diamond — makes a respectable early-game haul on its own.

How to use the buried treasure finder

  1. Enter your seed — type or paste it into the seed box and press Go. Text seeds work too; they convert to numbers exactly like the in-game seed field.
  2. Match your version — pick the version your world was generated in. Structure positions change between versions, so this matters.
  3. Read the results — the nearest buried treasures appear in the panel, sorted by distance from the search point, each with exact coordinates.
  4. Jump to a result — click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy its coordinates or a ready-made teleport command. Panned somewhere new? Press Search this area to look around the current view.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find buried treasure from my seed?
Enter your world seed and the finder lists the nearest buried treasure chests with exact coordinates, sorted by distance — no shipwreck map needed. Click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy the coordinates or a /tp command.
Where exactly do I dig?
Stand on the exact X/Z coordinates and dig straight down (carefully). The chest is usually a few blocks under the beach surface, though some sit under stone or below the waterline — keep digging until you hit it.
What's in a buried treasure chest?
Every buried treasure chest contains a heart of the sea — buried treasure is the only place hearts of the sea generate, and you need one (plus eight nautilus shells) to craft a conduit. The rest of the loot can include iron and gold ingots, emeralds, diamonds, TNT and prismarine crystals.
How does this compare to treasure maps?
Buried treasure maps from shipwreck and ocean-ruin chests lead you to the same chests the finder lists — the map's X marks one chest. The finder just skips the boat trip and shows every chest around you at once.
Where and in which versions does buried treasure generate?
In beach and snowy beach terrain, added in Java 1.13 (Update Aquatic). Coastlines are everywhere, so there's almost always a chest within a few hundred blocks of spawn.
Does the buried treasure finder work for Bedrock Edition?
Yes — flip the Java / Bedrock toggle above the map. Bedrock generates worlds with a different RNG than Java, so buried treasure sits in different places for the same seed; pick Bedrock and the finder returns the Bedrock coordinates.
