Q&A for How to Find a Desert Temple in Minecraft

Not a jungle pyramid, but a jungle temple. These have treasures just like desert temples. They are made of mossy cobblestone and have traps in them, too.

There is no specific best direction because the world is generated randomly.

The plate ignites the TNT and blows you up. It's especially bad if you are carrying highly valuable items.

No. Jungle temples have redstone rooms and very dangerous booby traps.

Find a seed with a desert biome online, or you just keep making worlds until you find one with a desert biome.

The app might still work. You'd have to input the seed as you would on PC, but the seeds may be generated differently.

Yes, but you should remove the pressure plate and then dig underneath the sandstone floor.

No.There is no glitch. You will have to find it by yourself and it may be difficult.

Try reloading the world/server, and if that doesn't work, try to make a new world/server using the same seed. If that doesn't work, be sure to contact Microsoft's Minecraft team for help.

Probably because it has very desirable items in it. Whoever programmed the seeds probably wanted to make it hard to remember.

In Bedrock Edition of Minecraft, the word "temple" (in the context of the /locate command) not only includes desert temples, but also witch huts, igloos, and jungle temples. The game probably located a jungle temple and gave you the coordinates, which could explain why you got sent to the middle of the jungle. If you use ChunkBase and this happens, check that you are using the temple finder for your edition and version number of Minecraft. Also, be sure you typed in the correct seed.

No, desert temples are made of blocks and blocks never despawn. Mobs are the only thing in the game that can despawn.

Perhaps someone already found it but thought it would be funny if they were to put it back but with the treasure gone

Yes, you will drop them, unless you manage to go back there to the exact same place and collect the items you have dropped.

You would need to spawn in a jungle biome then quickly try to look for one or you won't make it in time.

Yes! But if you make the world flat, then there won't be any, since it's all flat

You can find a desert temple in a desert biome, but if you are lucky, you might spawn in one.

Nope, but you can find a underwater shipwreck which might have a map that will lead to treasure. But there might be guardians who guard it. Search on google for more information about it

Yes, you can find desert temples on the Wii U just like you would on other versions of Minecraft.

Yes, desert temples have a chance to be partially or completely buried under hills of sand and sandstone, as the floor will always be at Y-level 64 when they generate.

There are 9 TNT under the sandstone and pressure plate. They could kill you in one blow, so be careful.

It was not necessarily a glitch. When desert temples generate, the floor will always be at Y-level 64, this means that sometimes they can be partially or completely buried in sand.

They are rare because Mojang coded them to be so, most likely because they contain good loot and it would be too overpowered for them to be common.

Mesa biomes, also known as badlands, are very rare in Minecraft. You can find them by exploring your world until you come across one, or by using the /locatebiome minecraft:badlands command in chat. Badlands have lots of red sand in them, and many hills made of terracotta of various colors.

No, there are not any village temples in Minecraft, however, desert temples can spawn near villages.

Yes. If you're in Java edition, then all you have to do is /locate desert temple. Then it will show you the cords. Then, hover your mouse over it and click it.

Desert temples can be rare. If you keep looking, you will eventually find one.

The only naturally generated structure in snowy biomes besides villages are igloos. They can contain a hidden room beneath their carpet, so they could be considered a "temple." However, their loot is nowhere near as good as a desert or jungle temple.

It is not shown as dots, just as a large pyramid. The dots are probably just areas you have not yet explored.

Often near Desert villages there is a Desert temple. And a Desert Village is fairly common so you will see them a lot on your journey's through the Desert. *There is not always a Desert temple near each Desert Village.
