Finding and Looting the Blacksmith Chest

Locating the Blacksmith Building

When exploring villages spawned by this data pack, the blacksmith building is typically one of the largest structures. Look for a distinctive cobblestone building with a furnace visible inside—this is your target. Blacksmiths are usually positioned near the center of village layouts.

Collecting Starter Gear

Once you've found the blacksmith:

1. Enter the building and locate the loot chest inside

2. Open the chest to find starter equipment and resources

3. Take what you need—common items include iron tools, armor pieces, and useful crafting materials

4. The chest respawns according to your world settings, so you can return later if needed

Tips for Early Game

Visit the blacksmith early in your playthrough when gear is scarce. The starter items found here can significantly accelerate your progression. If you're playing on a new world, prioritize reaching plains biomes where villages spawn most frequently. Consider marking the blacksmith's location so you can return to gather more resources as you expand your base.
