Find every desert temple in your seed

Find the desert temples in your world. Enter your seed and the map marks each pyramid, along with the deserts they sit in. Click any marker for its exact chunk and a teleport command you can paste straight into chat.

Desert temples generate only in desert biomes on a 32 chunk grid. Turn the biome layer on and every marker will sit in sand.

Why go to a desert temple

The hidden chamber under the centre holds four chests with diamonds, gold, emeralds, enchanted books and horse armour. Beware the pressure plate above the TNT: break it before you drop in, or dig in from the side.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a desert temple in Minecraft?

Enter your world seed and every desert temple in range is marked on the map. Click a marker to see its chunk and copy a /tp command straight to it. Turn the biome layer on to see the terrain around it before you set off.

Where do desert temples generate?

Desert temples generate only in desert biomes on a 32 chunk grid. Turn the biome layer on and every marker will sit in sand.

What is inside a desert temple?

The hidden chamber under the centre holds four chests with diamonds, gold, emeralds, enchanted books and horse armour. Beware the pressure plate above the TNT: break it before you drop in, or dig in from the side.

How do I open a desert temple safely?

The treasure room is under the blue terracotta in the centre floor. There is a stone pressure plate wired to nine TNT. Break the plate first, or tunnel in through a side wall and avoid the middle entirely.

Does this work for Minecraft Bedrock Edition?

Yes. Use the Java / Bedrock toggle above the map. Be aware the two editions are not interchangeable: since 1.18 they share terrain and biome generation, so the landscape for a given seed looks nearly the same, but structures like villages and strongholds use edition-specific placement and end up in different places. Bedrock also uses 32-bit seeds where Java uses 64-bit.

Is my seed sent to a server?

No. The whole map is computed in your browser with JavaScript. Your seed never leaves your device, there is no account, and no download is necessary.

Can I share a link to what I am looking at?

Yes. The address bar updates as you pan and zoom, so you can copy the URL at any time, or press Copy link. Anyone opening it lands on the same seed at the same position and zoom.

What do the grid lines mean?

The fine grid is chunks (16x16 blocks), which is the unit slime chunks and mob spawning work in. The heavier grid is regions (512x512 blocks, or 32x32 chunks), which is the unit Minecraft uses when deciding where to place structures. Brighter lines through the middle mark the world origin at X=0, Z=0.
