The trial chamber is a palatial structure that can be found in the overworld by digging down. Unlike ocean temples, they are found under land. While there’s no exact Y coordinate level where these structures will be generated, they are likely to be found around -15 to -45 Y level.


1) Trial chamber explorer map

Mojang knew how hard it would be to find a trial chamber in the Minecraft 1.21 update. For this reason, Mojang has added a new map item called the Trial Chamber Explorer Map to help players find trial chambers easily. You can purchase a Trial Chamber Explorer Map from a Journeyman-level cartographer villager in exchange for 14 emeralds and 1 compass.

Using a Trial Chamber Explorer Map is the best way to find trial chambers in Minecraft. With the help of villager trading, players will be able to find this structure easily. After obtaining the Trial Chamber Explorer Map, just head towards the location marked on the map and start digging once you are there to find the trial chamber.


2) Using Chunk Base

Chunk Base is a website that lets players enter the seed of their Minecraft world to get a detailed map of every structure around their spawn location. Finding the trial chambers using this method is extremely easy and simple.

All you need to do is go to Chunk Base, enter your Minecraft world seed, and then select the version of the game you are in. By default, it has the latest version selected. Putting your world seed would generate a map of your world and all the structures nearby.

You can filter out the other structures and just select trial chambers, get the coordinates, and then head over there to fight the breeze and get the wind charge!

Do note that you might have to dig a little deeper as these structures are generated randomly. This method is the fastest way of getting to trial chambers without using any mods or cheats. However, you need to know your world seed to create a Minecraft 1.21 seed map. Alternatively, you can also use Minecraft 1.21 seeds to find new features like trial chambers easily.


3) Exploring underground

If you do not want to use a third-party tool such as Chunk Base to find the trial chambers, then exploring your Minecraft world is the next best way. There’s a sense of adventure and excitement when trying to find structures like these without any guide.

Since the trial chambers are underground structures, you can look for them by strip mining or exploring the naturally generated large caves, and it is better to look for them in deeper Y levels.

4) Using the locate command

The final method of finding the trial chambers is using the locate command. Do note that using this command constitutes the usage of cheats, and you need to enable them from the settings to use the locate command.

Using the locate command, all you need to do is press T to bring the type box and type /locate structure minecraft:trial_chambers. You’ll be directly teleported to the structure using this method. But, since it is considered cheating by the game, all your achievements would be lost.

However, there’s a workaround; if you can manage to run the game on a different device or account, they can put the seed in to get the coordinates of your main game and then use the location command to get the coordinates of the trial chambers.

Then, you can go to the coordinate without enabling cheats in the main game, keeping their achievements on. So explore the trial chamber, defeat the breeze, and get the newly added wind charge item.
