How to Locate the Secret Chest in a Small Horse Stable

Why It Matters

The stable's hidden chest holds extra loot beyond the starter supplies, so skipping it means leaving resources behind. It is intentionally placed out of plain sight, and its exact spot can vary between stables, so treat this as a search method rather than a fixed coordinate.

A Systematic Search Method

Work through the stable in this order:

• Floor: look for a block that sits slightly differently, or dig a shallow perimeter under the stalls.
• Walls: scan for a block with a mismatched texture, rotated log, or a gap that suggests a cavity.
• Ceiling and roof: check the space above the stalls and inside any loft area.
• Behind furniture: move or break hay bales, fences, and any decorative props.
• Under the pen: the ground beneath the horses is a common hiding spot.

After You Find It

Open the chest and take everything before you leave. If you plan to revisit, note the coordinates so you can return for the horses or any blocks you want to harvest. Do not destroy the stable's structure if you might want to use it as a base — the pen and shelter make a ready-made horse enclosure. Once both chests are empty, the stable has served its purpose and you can move on with your new mount.
