Treasure is a new element added in update 11.1. This map makes it much easier to find interesting structures in Minecraft, because... shows the location of those closest to the player. True, sometimes they can be located at a considerable distance from home.
There are two types of treasure map - the underwater fortress map shows where the nearest underwater fortress is located. If you haven’t been to the underwater fortress yet, I’ll remind you that you can dig up prismarine blocks there for construction, as well as a sea lantern and a sponge that can absorb large amounts of water.
The second type of card is a card forest mansion. This is real big house, ready to move in. There are rooms containing treasures in it, in a word, the object is extremely interesting to explore, but they are very rare.
How to use a treasure map?
At the beginning, the treasure map looks like a drawing, on which only the outlines of land and water and the dungeon icon are visible. For an underwater fortress it is blue, for a forest mansion - brown. You will see a circle on the edge of the map, it shows your location. You need to go in the opposite direction until the circle appears on the surface of the map. Then it will load and look like regular card with a small scale. Now all that remains is to find the treasury and rummage through its chests. The treasure map is a good thing. True, if you are interested in Andorra shopping, you are unlikely to find it on this map.
Where to get a treasure map in Minecraft
First you need to find a village with inhabitants and find a cartographer in it. If there is no cartographer, you can multiply the inhabitants by building additional houses for them. The cartographer sells the map for emeralds and . After the treasure is found, you can find another village or move the cartographer to another location. Then he can sell a map containing the path to another dungeon.
A resident cartographer looks like this:
In the villages there is still a librarian in the same white robe, so it is easy to confuse them.
Advice: when going for treasures, don’t forget to pack food and tools - the path can be very long.
A new structure has been added - Forest mansion, which many players try to find by simply flying around the world. But I’ll say right away that finding it this way is simply unrealistic. That is why we have prepared this one that will help you find a forest mansion in Minecraft PE.
How to find a forest mansion?
This can be done in two ways - using a command in the chat or a special treasure map.The easiest way to find a mansion is to use a chat command. First you need to enter the command /locate mansion, after which you will receive coordinates to the nearest mansion.
I don't know if this is a bug or a feature, but for some reason it doesn't display the coordinate Y(height). Therefore, I recommend entering it in the range from 80 to 120 and I recommend doing this only in creative mode!
Next, you need to enter these coordinates into the teleportation command (/tp x y z). In my case I entered: /tp -14840 100 3208.
Another way is to purchase a special treasure map from a village cartographer.
Finding a resident cartographer is not an easy task. He looks like a resident librarian, but only cartographer you can buy Forest Explorer Map V .
If you are lucky enough to find it, then do not forget to take emeralds and some other items to purchase the card.
Buy all the items (as shown in the screenshots below). This is necessary to increase the level of confidence of the resident and to achieve maximum level he will let you buy Forest Explorer Map.
Don't confuse this card with Ocean Explorer Card. They differ in color: the color of the card with the mansion is brown, and the color of the underwater fortress is blue.
If you have nerves of steel and are ready to go on a long journey, then before your journey, stock up well on food, blocks, and tools.
It is very easy to get lost with a map and only practice will help you understand the principle of the cardinal directions and search for structures.
How to use the card?
You just need to remember a few things that will help you determine the cardinal directions in Minecraft PE.The simplest thing is that the Sun and Moon always rise in the east and set in the west (as in real life), and the sunflower flower is always tilted only to the east (towards the Sun).
Treasures in Minecraft most often appear near cavities underground, that is, below level 64. In some cases, they can appear above this level, for example, in the mountains. An entrance is automatically made in the direction of the cave cavity, next to which the treasury was generated. Most often, when generating treasuries, the terrain is not taken into account, so they can often be found in the wrong form - under lava or water, without a floor, half-buried with sand or gravel, hidden under a layer of ice. All this can deprive the treasury of a valuable or spawner (a block that creates monsters). Quite often, treasures appear as parts of other natural structures - canyons, fortresses and abandoned mines.
If you find a treasury, there is no need to destroy the spawner. It can be used in the future to gain experience. It is enough to place a torch on the monster creation block so that it stops “releasing them into the wild.”
The monster spawner acts as a kind of guardian of the treasury. It endlessly creates monsters until the player turns it off or destroys it. The spawner is always located clearly in the center of the treasury, and chests with resources are located along the walls. The most common are treasuries with zombie spawners; blocks for creating spiders or skeletons are half as common.
Search methods
If you have a desert nearby, explore it. A characteristic rectangular depression in the sand measuring five by five or seven by seven blocks most often indicates that there is a treasury below. Due to its free-flowing properties, the sand simply fell down after generating a specific area of the world, covering the treasury.
A sign of the proximity of a treasury can be sounds made by several identical monsters coming from one direction. In this case, you can simply dig in this direction until you find the treasure.
A common graphical error that occurs when switching the viewing distance allows you to see lava, water and fire, including the one burning inside the spawner block. So you can quickly find the treasury by simply switching the viewing range in the graphics settings.
If you find a canyon, cave or abandoned mine, walk around its perimeter. With a high degree of probability you will find a treasury. If a huge number of aggressive monsters are constantly attacking you from some direction, most likely they appear in a treasury nearby. The easiest way is to look for the spider spawner, since there is always a huge amount of web around it.
First you need to illuminate the treasury room itself by making several holes in its walls to place torches in them. Increasing the light level will reduce the speed at which monsters are created, making your task easier.
If you are having trouble finding the treasure, try watching various Minecraft tutorial videos. Perhaps this will help you in your search. There you can also find tips and an experience farm based on the found spawner. Such farms allow you to safely obtain experience and resources dropped from monsters.
