Jungle Temples

If you look carefully in the Bamboo Jungle biome, you will sometimes find a rare Jungle temple like the one below:

The Jungle temple is made out of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone. Inside the temple is a series of traps to avoid and 2 chests to find.

You can find the first chest by solving a puzzle. Go to the lower level of the temple and find the 3 levers. Flip the levers in the right order and a small room with a chest will be revealed.

TIP: Watch the video above to learn how to solve the lever puzzle and find the hidden room. If you can't figure out the lever order, use a pickaxe to mine behind the second lever and you will find a chest.

Here is a sneak peek at the room (directly behind the three levers are two sticky pistons, a redstone repeater and a chest).

Inside this chest, there is a good chance it contains Wild Armor Trim, which you can use to visually customize your armor using a Smithing Table.

The second chest is also on the lower level down the hallway after you have encountered all of the traps.
