Trial chambers are underground dungeons made of copper and tuff. They hold trial spawners, vaults and the only source of the heavy core for the mace. Works in Java and Bedrock (1.21 and newer).

Trial Chamber Survival Guide: Keys, Vaults and Safe Clearing

Quick steps

Step 1: Find a chamber below Y 0 – look for tuff bricks and copper in caves or use a trial explorer map from a cartographer.

Step 2: Bring iron armor or better, a shield, a bow, food and plenty of blocks.

Step 3: Beat each trial spawner wave. When it turns calm it drops loot and usually a trial key.

Step 4: Open vaults with trial keys. Each vault opens only once per player, so every friend gets their own loot.

Tip: Place a torch at every room you cleared. The chamber is a maze and it is easy to walk in circles.
