The Buried Trial Chambers Map is a specialized map that helps players locate a Trial Chamber, an underground structure. It is primarily used to guide players to these chambers, which contain combat challenges, traps, and loot.
A Buried Trial Chambers Map can be obtained by trading with cartographer villagers at journeyman level in exchange for emeralds and a compass. It cannot be crafted; besides villager trading, one can turn up in the hidden chest of an abandoned camp in Java Edition.
When held and viewed, the Buried Trial Chambers Map shows a top-down view of the surrounding terrain, with a player marker and a Trial Chamber icon. The player marker moves when traveling, helping guide them toward the structure. The map is oriented with north at the top, assisting in navigation.
Unlike a normal map, a Buried Trial Chambers Map has a fixed destination.
A Buried Trial Chambers Map can be placed in item frames for display or used as a navigation tool. Like other maps, it can be copied.
The structure a map leads to depends on the trading villager's biome. Each of the two or three possible maps is a separate trade, so one villager can offer several maps.
