How to find buried treasure in Minecraft [5 Steps]

A shipwreck is a part of a ship that is sunken and destroyed. This shipwreck has three chests among them you will be able to get a treasure map which will give you direction and instructions. The chances of finding a map from a shipwreck are 100%.

● Step Three: Dig
Once you have reached the location of the red X mark, you should start digging. As it lies underground in the sand, you need a high-quality shovel to do this task more quickly.
