The pattern of orange terracotta on the towers of desert pyramids resembles an {{w|Ankh}}, the ancient Egyptian symbol for life and the {{w|Nile (river)|Nile}} key. There is one main entrance in the front, two more entrances in the back on both the left and right sides near the top of the pyramid, and a one-block wide window at the top. Even if the rest of the pyramid generates mostly buried by sand, the top of the pyramid is almost always above ground. A mostly buried pyramid can still be accessed by the window in the top if necessary, though fall [[Minecraft:damage]] is likely. In the center of the pyramid's 21×21 ground floor is a checkerboard pattern of terracotta and sandstone in a wind rose symbol, with a block of blue terracotta in the center.

Underneath this terracotta is a secret fosse containing four chests, which are rigged by a [[Minecraft:stone pressure plate]] directly under the blue terracotta block. The pressure plate is connected to a 3×3 grid of [[Minecraft:TNT]], which means that if a [[Minecraft:player]] or [[Minecraft:mob]] unintentionally steps on the plate, it sets off the nine TNT blocks, which destroy the chests and their loot and can kill the player. As there is no light in the chest room, mobs sometimes spawn inside it and trigger the TNT trap, destroying the chests and loot before any player can reach it.

Template:Distinguish Template:Infobox structure Template:Relevant tutorial A desert pyramid or desert temple is an uncommon above ground Minecraft:structure found in Minecraft:desert biomes built mostly of Minecraft:sandstone and Minecraft:terracotta. The desert pyramid contains four loot Minecraft:chests hidden under the floor in the center, which are protected by a Minecraft:TNT trap, and a secret buried room to the side where Minecraft:archaeology can be performed by brushing the generated Minecraft:suspicious sand with a Minecraft:brush.

Generation

Desert pyramids generate in Minecraft:desert biomes. Desert pyramids have a lower generation frequency Template:In than Template:In.

Desert pyramids can be located with desert pyramid Minecraft:explorer maps, which are found in secret chests in Minecraft:abandoned camps. Template:Calculator

Structure

Template:Main Desert pyramids are constructed with normal, smooth, chiseled, and cut sandstone, as well as orange and blue Minecraft:terracotta, sandstone Minecraft:slabs, and sandstone Minecraft:stairs.

File:Desert Temple Interior.png
The inside view of a desert pyramid’s central room

The pattern of orange terracotta on the towers of desert pyramids resembles an Template:W, the ancient Egyptian symbol for life and the Template:W key. There is one main entrance in the front, two more entrances in the back on both the left and right sides near the top of the pyramid, and a one-block wide window at the top. Even if the rest of the pyramid generates mostly buried by sand, the top of the pyramid is almost always above ground. A mostly buried pyramid can still be accessed by the window in the top if necessary, though fall Minecraft:damage is likely. In the center of the pyramid's 21×21 ground floor is a checkerboard pattern of terracotta and sandstone in a wind rose symbol, with a block of blue terracotta in the center.

File:The four chests with the TNT trap.png
A preview of the four hidden chests with the TNT trap under the desert pyramid

Underneath this terracotta is a secret fosse containing four chests, which are rigged by a Minecraft:stone pressure plate directly under the blue terracotta block. The pressure plate is connected to a 3×3 grid of Minecraft:TNT, which means that if a Minecraft:player or Minecraft:mob unintentionally steps on the plate, it sets off the nine TNT blocks, which destroy the chests and their loot and can kill the player. As there is no light in the chest room, mobs sometimes spawn inside it and trigger the TNT trap, destroying the chests and loot before any player can reach it.

File:Desert Pyramid collapsed stairs.png

Desert pyramids also generate with a lower room situated in the back (either on the left or right), and buried in sand. Six to eight of these sand blocks generate as Minecraft:suspicious sand. This room is 5×5 blocks, has another instance of the sandstone wind rose pattern on the ground, and is connected to the main floor with collapsed stairs.

When a desert pyramid generates above a Minecraft:ravine, the foundation extends downward until it reaches the bottom.

Generated loot

Template:Seealso Template:LootChest The loot chances above are per chest. As each chest has a 2.4% chance to contain an enchanted golden apple for example, with four chests, each pyramid has about a 9% chance overall of having at least one.
