Jungle pyramids‌^{[Java Edition only]} or jungle temples‌^{[Bedrock Edition only]} are structures found in jungles.

Generation[edit]

Jungle pyramids often generate in jungles, bamboo jungles and their hills, there is a ¹⁄₄ chance for a jungle to generate without a pyramid.

Pyramids do not generate in modified jungle, jungle edge or modified jungle edge. In Bedrock Edition, pyramids also do not generate in bamboo jungle and bamboo jungle hills.

Structure[edit]

Jungle pyramids consist of cobblestone, mossy cobblestone and vines. There are 3 floors.

It is possible to find blocks that normally generate outside pyramids (like leaves) appearing inside, possibly blocking the chests or dispensers, or interrupting the redstone.

Puzzle[edit]

On the bottom floor, there is a puzzle consisting of 3 levers on 3 chiseled stone bricks connected to a hidden piston trapdoor mechanism. If the combination is entered correctly, a block on the main floor is pulled away, revealing a chest.

Trap[edit]

Down the hall from the puzzle, there is another chest. There are two tripwire lines connected to dispensers with 2–14 arrows, hidden behind vines. The first tripwire is in the middle of the hallway and the second tripwire is around the corner in front of the chest. Walking over the tripwire triggers the dispenser attached to it. Breaking the tripwire with anything other than shears also triggers it.

Loot[edit]

In Java Edition, each jungle pyramid chest contains 2–6 item stacks, with the following distribution:
