Finding Loot Crates in Structures

Where Boxes Spawn Naturally

Ancient Loot Crates spawn randomly inside chests found in:

  • Dungeons
  • Villages
  • Nether fortresses
  • Other generated structures

These boxes are already ready to open—no crafting needed.

Collecting Structure Loot

1. Explore dungeons, villages, and Nether fortresses as you normally would

2. Open chests and look for Ancient Loot Crates inside

3. Take the boxes into your inventory

4. Right-click the box to open it immediately or save it for later

5. Collect the random rewards

Strategy

Structure loot boxes are a bonus on top of regular chest contents, making exploration more rewarding. Early-game players can find boxes before mining Resource Ore, giving you supplies without crafting. Nether fortresses are particularly valuable since they may contain Nether Boxes with dimension-specific materials.
