Find a desert temple, disarm its TNT trap and take every chest's loot.

Under the temple floor sit four chests… and a pile of TNT. One wrong step and the treasure is gone forever.

  • New skill Disarming a desert temple trap

  • Ages 13+

What you’ll build

Find a desert temple and its hidden treasure chamber. Instead of dropping in, dig a careful staircase down beside the floor pattern, then disarm the trap before you touch a thing. Loot all four chests, log what you find and carry it safely back to HQ.

Finish line: The temple trap is disarmed, all four chests are empty and your loot table is complete.

Bonus challenge: Brush the temple's suspicious sand for its own sherds. Then build a fake trap at your HQ that plays a note block alarm… with no TNT at all.

You’ll need

  • A pickaxe
  • Torches
  • Food
  • Spare blocks
  • An experienced player nearby

You choose

  • My heist crew name
  • Way in: staircase down the side, or a tunnel from outside
  • My bet for the best loot

Stuck?

  • Never stand on the stone pressure plate in the chamber. Break it from beside it to disarm the TNT.
  • Dig down beside the pattern, not through the middle. Falling straight in can land you on the trap.
  • Keep flint and steel, fire and lava away. Lighting any of the TNT below the floor sets off the rest.
