Shipwreck

Wooden sailing ships lying at odd angles and in different states of damage, underwater or stranded on beaches. Their chests hold useful early resources, buried treasure maps, Coast armor trims, and nautilus armor.

From the Minecraft Wiki, summarised

How it generates

Ocean shipwrecks generally rest on the seabed, while beached shipwrecks use coastal terrain and can stand above sea level. Terrain and overlapping features can leave ships buried, embedded in icebergs, or partly exposed.

Biomes

  • Ocean
  • Deep Ocean
  • Cold Ocean
  • Deep Cold Ocean
  • Frozen Ocean
  • Deep Frozen Ocean
  • Lukewarm Ocean
  • Deep Lukewarm Ocean
  • Warm Ocean
  • Beach
  • Snowy Beach

Placement values are for Java 26.3. Ocean and beached wrecks share one placement grid. A wreck has up to three chests, but missing sections or overlaps during generation can remove some. Java builds wrecks from ordinary logs; Bedrock uses stripped logs and can add extra acacia parts. If a treasure map has no valid destination, Java 26.3 leaves it out of the chest.

Variants

  • Ocean · Uses minecraft:shipwreck and generally settles on the seabed.
  • Beached · Uses minecraft:shipwreck_beached in Beach and Snowy Beach biomes.
  • Upright · May retain a full hull or only the bow or stern.
  • Sideways · Capsized hull, with complete and damaged forms.
  • Upside-down · Inverted hull, with surviving sections determining available chests.

Notable loot

  • Buried Treasure Map
  • Coast Armor Trim Smithing Template
  • Iron ingots
  • Gold ingots
  • Diamonds
  • Emeralds
  • Moss blocks
  • Copper, iron, golden, and diamond nautilus armor
