Where to Find a Pyramid
In Minecraft, a pyramid is a structure that spawns naturally in the game. It looks like a temple made out of sandstone and is only found in the Desert and Desert Hills biomes.

Here is a picture of what a pyramid looks like:
The pyramid is made up of sandstone, smooth sandstone, chiseled sandstone, orange terracotta, and blue terracotta.
Inside the Pyramid
Inside the pyramid, you will find a pattern of colored terracotta on the floor. Break the block of blue terracotta in the center of the design.
Beneath the blue terracotta, you will find a long tunnel that takes you to a secret area of the pyramid.
Go down this tunnel to the bottom, but dodge the stone pressure plate in the center. This pressure plate will set off 9 blocks of TNT.
At the bottom, you will find 4 chests filled with loot. Look inside each chest. You might find iron ingot, gold ingot, diamonds, emeralds, golden apples, bones, rotten flesh, and spider eyes. You can even find the new Dune Armor Trim, which can be used to visually customize your armor using a Smithing Table.
