Where Abandoned Camps Generate
Abandoned camps are small surface structures found in several Overworld biomes, including the Dappled Forest. In an older world, explore newly generated terrain to find them.
How to Find Abandoned Camps
Finding abandoned camps begins with searching newly generated Overworld terrain and watching for the compact outline of a campsite.
What to Look For
- Update Minecraft to a version that includes abandoned camps
- Search broad stretches of the supported surface biomes rather than old chunks
- Look for the camp's compact man-made outline; some camp chests can also contain explorer maps leading to other camps or destinations
