Very nice, care to share how it works? :smile.gif:

Check out the original thread linked in the OP.

Looks like 500+ blocks away from 0,0,0 and not the spawn point.

I used the tool to find the coordinates for my seed.

Any tips on how to find it from there if it is not directly down? I have tried a transparent texture pack, but I am still not able to pick it out of all the other clutter. Maybe someone could recommend another texture pack or give some other tips.

I reset the demo and started it over. The chest is there. There is a total of 22 gun powder in the chest.

Sorry about the wild goose chase. I did not consider it being a demo addition of some sort. But it looks like it is there are load and not a sort of explosion glitch.

I just entered the seed and loaded the map again. It seems the same as when I first started, but the chest is not there. There are also a few other things missing. When I first started there was a sign next to a double chest that had some items to start with. I imagine that PC Mag added that. So there are a number of things different.

Maybe something happened when I switched from the demo to the full version.

I did not mean to cause anyone any trouble. Just trying to figure it out.


CreeperNH - I do live that close to work 1.4 mi according to Google Maps.

Here is output:

Your level.dat was successfully analyzed.

Chest location is 168, 62, -58

How do I find the seed info?

Is this your very first world?
Chunk errors can take data from deleted or old worlds and stick it into a new one.

Yes. It is my first world.

I am the only player in the household and have not tried anything multi player yet.

I downloaded the PCGamer demo last week, and purchased the game after my 90 minutes were up.

I posted this because I wanted to know if there were other hidden chests I could be looking for.


PS. Just mined around the chest and there is nothing else there. Only dirt and stone.

Also, this is only on my home computer. I cannot access this map if I sign in online from my work computer.

No mods. I have only been playing a week and have not yet researched how to get them to work.

I realize that having this as my first post is strange, but it was the only thing to date that I have not been able to find an answer to on the forum.

Now that I know it is not common I wish I would have better recorded the format the gun powder was in. But as I recall it was 3-4 item slots in the chest. Varying from 3-18+ in each slot. The total being in the high 20's. Again, I wish I had more detail, but at the time I was excited to find it since I have had little luck gathering it myself (I have not tried any traps yet). In fact, I started digging in that specific area after a Creeper blew a crater on the shore and water was flowing down into it.

I decided to square off the hole and cover it back up as a side storage area when I came across the chest.

No spawner nearby that I have seen, although I have not opened up the area behind the chest. There are no moss blocks revealed.

I tried a search on the forum but did not find anything mentioning this.

Yesterday I found a chest, buried in the sand near my spawn point, that had 30+ pieces of gunpowder in it.

Anyone else found one of these? I have not found a mention of it anywhere in the wiki. If it is there can someone direct me?
