What you’ll build

Sail the coast until you find a shipwreck or ocean ruin, then raid its chests for a treasure map. Match the map to the land around you and navigate by coordinates to the X. Dig until you hit the buried chest and log where you found it.

Finish line: You've dug up the buried treasure chest and logged the wreck and treasure coordinates.

Bonus challenge: Find a second treasure map. Before you set sail, predict the direction and distance, then see how close you were.

You’ll need

  • A boat
  • A shovel
  • Food
  • Torches

You choose

  • My pirate name
  • Where I'll search the coast
  • What I'll spend the treasure on

Stuck?

  • The chest is often a block or two off the X, so dig a small square rather than one hole.
  • Watch your air when diving into wrecks and ruins, and look out for drowned.
  • Remember: east makes X bigger and south makes Z bigger.
