The Minecraft 1.21 update added Trial Chambers to the sandbox game, and these impressive locations are purpose-built to provide combat challenges that you can overcome for rewards. Finding Trial Chambers can be quite tricky, though.

These structures are very formidable and quite rare, so if you want to tackle one, you'll need to be prepared. If you decide to take on the challenge, read on to find Trial Chambers in Minecraft.

To find a Trial Chamber in Minecraft, you’ll need to find a cartographer villager and purchase a trial explorer map. This process can be quite tricky, so here are the exact steps you need to follow.

Not every cartographer has the same inventory, so unfortunately there’s always a chance that you’ll level up a villager to journeyman, only to find out that they don’t have the trial explorer map you’re looking for. This means you’ll have to find another cartographer somewhere else. I recommend going to a completely new village, as I couldn’t get a trial explorer map from three different cartographers in the same village, but I could easily get one if I found one in a different town.
