Have you ever been stuck trying to find a specific Minecraft biome? Maybe you just wanted to find your first elytra and explored for over two hours in real life without success? Well, then you need to learn about a great Minecraft tool called Chunk Base. It shows your entire world and all the features it contains. This guide will help you learn how to use Chunk Base, so let’s dive right in!
How to Find the Source Code for Your Minecraft World
Before using Chunk Base, you you must first find the starting code for your Minecraft world map. You can do this in just a few steps in both versions of Minecraft and our linked guide will show you how. After finding the code, copy it and visit the Chunk base website.
How to find Minecraft locations in Chunk Base
Chunk Base lets you view your Minecraft world, its biomes and structures in three dimensions, the underground, terrain features, and more. While in Chunk Base, you can locate specific features by clicking the Apps button at the top, but we recommend sticking with the Map Seed option, which shows all features at once. You can access it in the Recent Tab on the right.
When you access the Seed Map app, you will see that there is a section to allow you insert a world seed code and a Minecraft version and choose the current dimension you are looking at. So, take the source code you copied and paste it here. Don’t forget to set the game version, which can be Java or Bedrock, as well as any specific updates.
Below you can see the icons that represent structures or land features, for example (Woodland) Mansion. You can expand this section to see all the icons and their names. Enable and disable icons depending on your needs. Below the icons, there is a window that shows the map of your world. You can zoom in or out and also move around to view the entire map.
If a mansion icon is enabled, you will see all mansion structures on the map represented by the same icon. You can click on any icon to view and copy its coordinates. When you simply hover over the map, you will see the name of the biome below the window on the right and the exact coordinates of the location on the left. Around the map window, you will see the X and Z arrows, as well as other coordinates.
Under this window you can highlight a specific biomes, insert coordinates of a custom location, select surface, underground and subsurface levels, and enable terrain and grid lines.
To summarize, the Minecraft Chunk Base tool allows you to:
- Visualize the size, layout, and coordinates of surface and subsurface biomes;
- Find the coordinates of any structure you want.
- Search for coordinates of specific terrain features such as amethyst geodes, mud chunks, giant ore veins, lava pools and more.
- Enter your current coordinates and easily find a way to your base.
- Check if the ground is flat, short, uneven or high.
Chunk Base is a very useful website that can save you a lot of time and can also help you get back to your base if you get lost. This was just a cursory look at the tool, so keep using it to learn all of its features. Some players consider using Chunk Base to be cheating, although in single-player worlds it doesn’t really matter.
That said, we have reached the end of this guide and we hope you found it useful. You can also find random seed maps using Chunk Base, in order to find your own perfect seed. However, you can also simply check out our linked guide on the best Minecraft 1.21 seeds for some amazing options.
