Minecraft Shipwreck Finder

Find the nearest shipwrecks in your Minecraft world from its seed. Each result is pinned on the biome map with exact coordinates — click one to jump there, copy the coordinates, or grab a ready-made /tp command. The map shows the surrounding ocean, so you can see at a glance which wrecks sit in shallow, easy-to-dive water.

Wrecks are the fastest way into the treasure-hunting loop: the map chest leads to buried treasure and its guaranteed heart of the sea. Chain a few wrecks and you'll have a conduit before your first diamond pickaxe.

How to use the shipwreck 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 shipwrecks 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 a shipwreck from my seed?
Enter your world seed and the finder lists the nearest shipwrecks with exact coordinates, sorted by distance. Click a result to center the map on it, then click the marker to copy the coordinates or a /tp command.
What loot do shipwrecks have?
Up to three chests, depending on which parts of the ship survived: a supply chest (food, paper, TNT), a treasure chest (iron, gold, emeralds, sometimes diamonds and bottles o' enchanting) and a map chest with a buried treasure map, compass and clock.
How do I use the buried treasure map?
Open the map from the wreck's map chest and sail toward the X. When the white player dot reaches the X, dig down — the treasure chest always holds a heart of the sea, the item you need to build a conduit. Our buried treasure finder can skip the map and show every chest directly.
Why can't I find all three chests?
Many wrecks generate broken — bow-only or stern-only — and each surviving section carries its own chest, so a half ship may have one or two. Wrecks also generate on their side or upside down, and a few end up beached or wedged in an iceberg, so check the whole hull carefully.
Where and in which versions do shipwrecks generate?
Shipwrecks were added in Java 1.13 (Update Aquatic) and generate in every ocean biome, occasionally beached on the shore. They're one of the most common structures in the game — most seeds have one within a few hundred blocks of a coastline.
Does the shipwreck finder work for Bedrock Edition?
Yes — flip the Java / Bedrock toggle above the map. Bedrock generates worlds with a different RNG than Java, so shipwrecks sit in different places for the same seed; pick Bedrock and the finder returns the Bedrock coordinates.
