RudyOP3 months agoHeya, making this thread since I believe abandoned camps can be extremely beneficial in draftout matches post-update, especially with the chance that it might become a seed-type (speculative), but if not, the loot-pools of abandoned camps, and stuff that can spawn in it seem extremely useful.
The secret chests can sometimes be extremely obvious, but other times are completely buried, but all these locations seem to be in a set list and not just. randomly put somewhere.
The secret chest also can have different locations based on the biome of the abandonned camp there seems to be 18 (?) different biomes of type, but some secret chest locations might be the same between them
Ofcourse all this info is not useful at the time of this post, and we have no idea when draftout will update and that could be ages away (I kinda expect it to happen when we leave open beta, but it could be before then)

nsla3 months ago
ive only gone through a few of them but it looks like gravel = copper chest underneath (flower forest, dappled)
nsla3 months ago
waaiiit no thats wrong they dont generate the same camp in biomes
nsla3 months ago
both bamboo jungle
nsla3 months ago
BRILLIANT
RudyOP3 months ago
mhm there are like an insane amount of variations
RudyOP3 months ago
afaik
RudyOP3 months ago(edited)
and sometimes the chest can be in the tent part and sometimes in the campsite part? possibly you could get 2 secret chests? i am not too sure at all
nsla3 months ago
ok i just peeped the loot table this is really cool and coincidentally is pretty applicable to draftout
RudyOP3 months ago
yes
RudyOP3 months ago(edited)
its insane 
RudyOP3 months ago
thanks mojang!
nsla3 months ago(edited)
I actually fw this alot though there isnt many early game structures that just Give you stuff for free (i also mean this in a casual setting)
RudyOP3 months ago
yeah its very different to the current early game structures which are either lint and a penny, or like 30 iron and 2 diamonds
RudyOP3 months ago
feels very beginner-chest option thing but incorporated into the world better
nsla3 months ago
yea
jes3 months ago
hang onthere's an oli highkeyhateme tweet about this
jes3 months ago
i don't have image perms uhhhh
jes3 months ago
this is the picture
RudyOP3 months ago
oh yeah there should be image perms in strat-dev prolly

@nsla

fixed i hope
RudyOP3 months ago
seems to be

the new minecraft abandoned camp has 384 different pieces, each camp consisting of 2 pieces together!
10 variants of tent per biome(18 biomes worth), 3 outside sections per biome and 45 default outside sections, making each campsite generating out of 480 different possibilities!
RudyOP3 months ago
is there a way to force the secret chest to spawn on these? probably idk my /place or structure blocks that well
jes3 months ago
errrr the copper secret chest or
RudyOP3 months ago
yeah
jes3 months ago
can i post twitter links

Scared
RudyOP3 months ago
yeah surely

the rare copper chest in the abandoned camp will only spawn in SPECIFIC variants:
︀︀
︀︀1- under the barrel in the default campsite section (making all camps have 1/48 chance)
︀︀2- in this birch forest campsite
︀︀3- under the leaves in this sparse jungle
︀︀4- in this cherry grove tent

this just isnt true i think?
nsla3 months ago
yes
RudyOP3 months ago
im confused ive had it in other spots let me test more
jes3 months ago
hmm ok
RudyOP3 months ago
maybe it changed latest snapshot
jes3 months ago
it is from june
jes3 months ago
right after the like
jes3 months ago
live drop
RudyOP3 months ago
cause it can also 100% spawn under the new cushions
jes3 months ago
ok then yeah it's probbaly chnaged
jes3 months ago
this is like 3 weeks agio
jes3 months ago
i can't believe they added chairs to the game
jes3 months ago
that is kinda crazy
jes3 months ago
as someone who has been building for like 10 years that is kinda crazy
jes3 months ago
sorry ur message reminded me of that
RudyOP3 months ago
just some other exaples of where it can spawn
jes3 months ago
oh interesting
RudyOP3 months ago
i feel like it could spawn in those pools for a WHILE so i really dont know about that tweet LOL
RudyOP3 months ago
i think highkeyhateme also spread misinfo on twitter before so lolw
jes3 months ago
also twitter isn't a good source
jes3 months ago
i just saw it above the camp variants post
jes3 months ago
which is probably also outdated with the addition of cushions
nsla3 months ago
how do you use the structure block for this
nsla3 months ago
or do you also use jigsaw blocks (i have almost never used these blocks before)
jes3 months ago
uhh there's also a command
jes3 months ago
Structures (also known as a "generated structure" or "structure feature") are naturally-generated formations that can be located using /locate structure and will not spawn in the world when the "Generate Structures" option is disabled during world creation.[JE only] Players can generate structures using /place. Certain features, such as mons...
jes3 months ago
idk if /place does variants which i know is kinda unhelpful
jes3 months ago
i am just more familiar with /place because it felt easier than structure blocks like 2 years ago when i was studying villages
jes3 months ago
A structure block is used to generate structures manually. They can also be used to save and load structures, alongside structure void blocks.
jes3 months ago
i don't think you need jigsaws
nsla3 months ago
jigsaws appear in the structure but its chill
nsla3 months ago
im going to compile a list of campsites with copper chest
nsla3 months ago
nsla3 months ago
oh my god the last 5 of these default barrels have copper chests
nsla3 months ago
im just gonna make a video instead im not manually writing and pasting this
jes3 months ago
LOL
RudyOP3 months ago
nsla3 months ago
ok im done pasting them in... so easy to get distracted doing this
nsla3 months ago
oh and theres 10 tent variants for each biome no really just make it even more painful
nsla3 months ago
world showing where the chests are with gold blocks above the structure
nsla3 months ago
uploading video but its really for people who are lazy to open the world
nsla3 months ago
i will consider making a more fleshed out and Proper video if draftout is confirmed to update soon and these dont change (i dont think they will)
RudyOP3 months ago
Hell yeah
nsla3 months ago
thaaat is an rsp vod i think ok well idrc to upload another video
nsla3 months ago
World is good enough
nsla3 months ago
a common pattern is that cobwebs = copperchest

this website may help a lot https://structure-viewer.ewanhowell.com/
RudyOP3 months ago(edited)
ooh quite nice, not so helpful for the like fully buried chests cause i dont see a way of going layer-by-layer view/deleting some blocks
sam3 months ago
So you can pie chart for cushions which is sick, but they don’t always have cushions. And you can’t pie chart for the color of cushion unfortunately

New camp variants in newest snapshot
awesomeSallad2 months ago
The giant spruce forest ones have copper chest variants
RudyOP2 months ago
RudyOP2 months ago
Explorer Maps can be found in camps
RudyOP2 months ago
by the looks of things can either be maps to other biome camps, or other structures?
RudyOP2 months ago
Fireworks removed from camps, replaced with gunpowder, probably better for draftout
RudyOP2 months ago
other loottable changes apparently
Experience2 months ago
regular chests have maps to other camps, secret chests have maps to other structures
jes2 months ago
other camps
jes2 months ago
oh
jes2 months ago
i canr ead
jes2 months ago
my gf said earlier they were to other camps

so i thought that was it

Looking a bit at how to see if a campsite has a special chest or not (the ones with ancient city, woodland mansion, and trial chamber maps)
These are all of the campsites that can spawn in any biome, with the copper chests circled if there is one.
Each biome also has four biome specific campsites, 1-2 of which have a copper chest.
The default ones are more common and easier to learn, so I've started by looking at these.
There are three kinds of default campsites, barrel, chest, and special. (15 of each, so three rows in the image).
If it is a barrel type, it has a copper chest when there are 3 cushions, and no chest if there are 1 or 2.
If it is a chest type, it has a copper chest when there are 2 cushions, and no chest if there are 1 or 3.
I don't see a good rule for the special ones, but first it is important to distinguish special types from the other two types.
The other two types have ground only made of path blocks and gravel, and their only special features are the chest/barrel, cushions, and campfire. So, cobwebs/stone, a pond, a farm, or haybales means it is a special type. The only exception is campsite_default_special_8, which only has path blocks and a barrel. This can be recognized as not one of the barrel types by the black cushions.
I have marked the copper chests so you can see which special ones have it, but here are some ideas to help remember:
stone but no cobwebs has a chest (also copper lantern, but this is also found in another which has no chest)
haybales has a chest
long pond has a chest
The one that looks like a barrel type has a chest
Mineshaft with two cushions has a chest
pumpkin farm has a chest
Each special chest is guaranteed to have an explorer map, and each type is a 1/7. Similarly, each regular chest is guaranteed to have a map to another abandoned camp, with a 1/8 to the specific biome. Regular chests can also be found in the tents, so they are in most camps.

One thing I forgot to include here, in the default camps (this isn’t true of biome specific ones) the chest is always either visible or under gravel
