Trial Chambers are an exciting feature inMinecraft’s 1.21 update, bringing a new sense of danger, survival, and exploration to the game. This mystery dungeon is an underground structure that players can seek out to defeat new enemy mobs, escape deadly traps, and obtain valuable loot, such as theMace inMinecraft, making it a worthwhile venture.
With so many new possibilities, including farming endeavors and the collection of new blocks for building projects, findingMinecraft’s elusive Trial Chambers can be a challenge. Without any guidance on where to begin to look, players may miss out or waste precious hours searching only to return to their base in disappointment. By using the correct tools and services available, locating a Trial Chamber won’t be so tedious.

Players must first activate and complete the Ominous Trial Chamber to get the Ominous Trial Key in Minecraft, granting access to the Ominous Vault.
How to Find a Trial Chamber in Minecraft
Use The Trial Chamber Explorer Map
The most efficient way to find a Trial Chamber in Minecraft is to use the Trial Chamber Explorer Map, which can be purchased from a Level 3 Journeyman Cartographer, one of thebest Villagers inMinecraft. While leveling up the Cartographer may be time-consuming, it will save you time and energy in the long run.
Spending Emeralds and trading will most likely be faster and far more productive than setting out on your own to aimlessly explore the underground in hopes of getting lucky and coming across a Trial Chamber naturally.
The Trial Chamber Explorer Map can be purchased for 14 Emeralds and a Compass but discounted with the Hero of the Village status effect, granted by saving a villager from a Pillager Raid. Players can also receive discounts bycuring a Zombie Villager inMinecraft, bringing the trade price as low as 11 Emeralds.
For those who don’t have access to a Cartographer in any nearby villages, you can craft a Cartography Table with x2 Paper and x4 Planks and place it in front of an unassigned villager. Begin trading with them to level them up until they reach the Journeyman rank.
YouTuberWattlespoints out that if you have a Level 3 Journeyman Cartographer who is selling a Woodland Explorer map instead, you will have to start over again, as they cannot sell both kinds of maps in their inventory.
Upon buying and viewing the map, it is straightforward to follow. A clear icon showcases where you are and where the Trial Chamber is. Simply travel towards the iconuntil you are hovering above it, and dig straight down.
The starting room of a Trial Chamber generatesbetween Y = -40 and -20;however, most of the structure’s rooms can generate between Y = -20 and 0. Players will not miss it upon digging directly down from above, and you will immediately notice the unique blocks of the outer structure as you get closer.
Explore Underground Cave Systems
For those who haven’t yet got access to a Cartographer or map or who prefer a sense of adventure, you may always organically mine below the surface and explore the enormouscaves inMinecraft. Without guidance, these underground structures can be a mystery, but searching for them can be a fun experience as you never know what you may come across along the way.
As mentioned, your best chances are to find them within the Deepslate layers, anywhere between Y levels 0 to -40. These structures are fairly obvious to spot, so you shouldn’t miss them even while exploring without a map.
While it adds a spontaneous element to finding the Trial Chamber, you never know how long it will take to locate one, so it generally isn’t recommended compared to the other methods. You may end up spending a long time looking for one, or you may end up lucky immediately, but there’s never a guarantee.

While those playing in survival mode may want to avoid this, there is nothing wrong with using commands as a last resort if they can positively add to your gameplay experience. Sometimes, spending hours looking for a particular structure can take the appeal out ofMinecraftwhen you could otherwise focus on the important things that makeMinecraftexciting.
The locate command allows you to type in the structure of your choice and provides you with the coordinates. This allows you to instantly teleport to the structure, saving you lots of time and energy.
