Shipwrecks are one of the most common structures players can find if they explore ocean biomes for a few hours. These are broken-down and sunken ships that generate hidden chests. Though players will mostly find useless loot in them, they can find excellent loot depending on how the ship is generated.

These structures have a 14.1% chance of generating a diamond in the treasure chest. These are not the best structures to loot due to the generation dependence, but they have a decently high spawn rate for those specifically looking for diamonds.

Bastion Remnants have a 15.8% chance of having two to six diamonds in their treasure chest. Several variants of Bastion Remnants are present in the game. Players must find a structure with a chest in the middle, surrounded by lava and magma cube spawners.

End Cities are one of the last structures players can explore and raid since they are only accessible after the Ender Dragon's defeat. Shulkers will guard these structures. They are immovable hostile mobs that attack players with levitation bullets by opening their shells.

Once players fight through the city, they will find chests with some of the best loot in the game. There is a 21.2% chance of two to seven diamonds generating in them. However, players can also obtain enchanted diamond gear, which is better than just getting diamonds.


1) Buried treasure chest

Though this area cannot be called a traditional structure since it only contains one chest, it has the highest chance of generating diamonds.

The buried treasure chest can be found by exploring a treasure map in shipwreck chests. Once players open these maps, they must travel to the red cross.

There is about a 60% chance of diamonds generating on these special chests. Shipwrecks and buried treasures are two of the best structures to boost explorers early in the game.
