How to Use a Treasure Map in Minecraft

A few days ago I was searching through a chest I found in a partially-sunken shipwreck in Minecraft. I spotted a yellowish piece of paper inside -- a buried treasure map! I usually ignore them because I've heard the loot is not that wonderful, but this time I decided to search for the buried treasure because I wanted a Heart of the Sea.

Why do I want a Heart of the Sea? Because they're awesome. Why are they awesome?

Because you need a Heart of the Sea to craft a conduit. And everyone should have a conduit.

This is why: because conduits are like super-amazing-awesome sources of power underwater, and even above-ground when it's raining. If you activate a conduit inside a conduit frame, it provides all kinds of cool underwater survival powers, like water breathing and protection from underwater mobs.


This chest inside a shipwreck held a buried treasure map.

Anyway, I got the buried treasure map and began searching around for the treasure. Finding the general spot is easy enough to do. Just aim for the giant red X on your map. Finding the exact spot of the buried treasure is a little harder. I had to dig around a lot before I found the chest because at first I was digging in the wrong spot.

A lot of people ask how deep you have to dig to find the buried treasure chest and the answer is, "it depends." Sometimes the chests are buried close to the surface and you only have to dig down a few blocks. Sometimes they can be really deep and you have to dig 10 blocks down or more. And sometimes the chests are buried underwater, making it very difficult and time-consuming to get them.

But I dug and dug and found the buried treasure chest! Now I have my Heart of the Sea. Just need to collect 8 Nautilus Shells and I have everything I need to build my conduit!

Some Minecraft Scenes and Images

Image
Lately I have been collecting a lot of scenes from Minecraft to use as desktop wallpapers. I also sometimes find one to use as a mobile wallpaper on my phone, but that's another story. These are some of the best Minecraft wallpapers around. The above is an aerial view of a pretty green scene. I would definitely want to live in this stone and wood medieval city. Light the torch! Dark and spooky...you might even say creepy. The sun sets on another beautiful Minecraft day. I'm sad... I don't know what this is, but it looks amazing. Stairway to the meadow. I love the focus effect on the above shot. To the chopper, boys! It's war in Minecraft! Diamond and anime.

Mostly Fishing in Minecraft - A Journal

Image
I started a new Minecraft survival game with the intention of advancing through the game mostly by fishing. Why fishing ? Isn’t it really boring? Yes, it is a little boring, but it is also peaceful and zen-like. And it’s a really good way to level up your XP and to get some excellent enchanted items. Fishing is easy to do. The first thing you need is a fishing rod, which you can craft with 3 sticks and 2 pieces of string on a crafting table. Once you have your first fishing rod, you can start fishing in any nearby body of water, even if it’s just a 1x1 square! Here’s my journal of my epic Minecraft fishing adventure. Starting Out I decided that if I was going to be a fisherman it would be best to go all the way. So I got myself a Fisherman skin on NameMC . I want to look the part! Day 1 I spawned in a good place to be a fisherman! I was right next to the ocean and there are plenty of oak and acacia trees nearby for wood. I started to collect the basics, including enough wood to make a

Let's Get Enchanting

Image
I need to upgrade my crappy regular iron armor in Minecraft and the best way to do it is by enchanting. Enchanting is one of the most complicated mechanics in Minecraft and I'm still wrapping my head around it. Btw, this isn't my setup in the picture above. Image credit goes to Ratliff . But he messed up and put the enchanting table too close to the bookshelves. Even I know that. These are the different Armor enchants you can perform: Protection Fire Protection Feather Falling Blast Protection Projectile Protection Respiration Aqua Affinity Thorns Depth Strider Frost Walker Curse of Binding I might start with basic Protection because it absorbs all damage. At the highest level, IV, it absorbs 16% of damage. It doesn't sound like much, but it adds up, especially in a gnarly fight! The other enchant I might use first is Respiration, which adds to your underwater breathing time. I already have a Turtle Shell helmet that I assembled when I built my own tur
