How To Loot A Jungle Temple in Minecraft

We all know that in Minecraft, there are various structures generated across the overworld. These structures may depend on the biome that they spawn in. As such, structures like the ocean monument and the woodland mansion are famous for being massive and challenging structures to conquer.

There are smaller and slightly lesser challenging ones that players can explore and enjoy. One of them is the Jungle Temple.

Read on to find out how to survive longer and successfully loot any Jungle Temple in Minecraft using this guide.

What Is A Jungle Temple in Minecraft?

The jungle temple or jungle pyramid is a naturally generated structure that can only be found in certain jungle biomes. Similar to the desert pyramid, the jungle temple also contains a few hostile mobs, a puzzle to solve, a booby trap, and—more importantly—hidden treasure waiting for players to loot them. Along with the Minecraft update 1.18, jungle biomes will generate more often which makes finding a jungle temple easier and more likely.

Jungle temples often blend in the jungle as it is built using mossy cobblestone blocks, therefore locating one while inside the jungle can be pretty tricky and often difficult. But if you do find one, then it’s your chance to loot all that you can find inside the jungle temple.

How To Loot A Jungle Temple in Minecraft? 1. Kill all hostile mobs in the jungle temple

Although the jungle temple does not normally spawn any hostile mobs—unlike the ocean monument with guardians and elder guardians surrounding them—it is still better to be safe than sorry. The jungle temple may be a small structure but inside of it is still dark and in darkness, hostile mobs such as creepers, skeletons, and zombies can spawn so you will need to be careful.

A good time to raid a jungle temple is during the day as daylight can slightly enter the temple through the doorway and the windows. When raiding the jungle temple, always remember to carry torches to prevent hostile mobs from respawning inside and food to heal back any missing health points. You also don’t need to be fully equipped with armor and weapons.

All you will need is a sword and a shield to protect yourself from any danger while inside the jungle temple but you can wear also wear armor though it is not necessary.

2. Watch out for any tripwires inside the jungle temple

Once you enter the jungle temple, you will face two sets of stairs: one going up and the other going down. The second floor of the temple is usually empty, therefore there is no need to go upstairs.

As soon as you descend towards the basement, you will find 3 levers on one side and on the other, a long hallway with an armed booby trap. As you make your way across the hallway, make sure your shield is up as a dispenser will fire arrows at you once you step on the tripwire.

When you reach the end of the hallway, you will find a chest with loot inside. Be careful as another dispenser above the chest will fire another arrow at you once you get near the chest. You can then loot the chest afterward.

3. Solve the lever puzzle to unlock a secret chest

When you’re done looting the first chest through the hallway, go back to the lever puzzle and solve it. Make sure that all levers should be pointing up before doing the puzzle.

You will face 3 kinds of levers: one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right.

First, pull the left lever down.

Next, pull the right lever down and pull the right lever back up again.

Then, flip the left lever back up as well.

The end result should be that all levers are facing up again. This will trigger the secret door to open on the first floor next to the stairs. It will reveal a hidden chest and you can then loot its contents.
