Structures in this biome
The following structures can generate in beach:
- Buried Treasure — Buried treasure always contains a heart of the sea, and always generates nine blocks in from the chunk corner.
- Shipwreck — Shipwrecks hold up to three chests: supplies, treasure, and a map chest containing a buried treasure map.
Finding a beach in your world
Biome placement depends on the world seed and the Minecraft version. Open your seed on the seed map, then pan around: biome shading shows where each biome sits, and structure layers show what generates inside it.
Note that biome rendering requires the WebAssembly generation engine described in the seed map documentation. Structure candidate positions, chunk geometry and slime chunks are computed exactly without it.
