River Treasure will add new Treasure into Minecraft, which can be found inside Gravel, Dirt, Sand, and Clay. They’ll only spawn underwater, and give an extra opportunity to collect precious items.

About River Treasures
As previously stated, the mod adds 4 new Blocks to Minecraft. These are new variations of Sand, Gravel, Dirt, and Clay. However, they’ll now have Gold specks in them, indicating treasure.

They’re really hard to find, as they rarely spawn. No crafting recipe is available either, so they can only be found naturally. For the best chance of finding River Treasure, try searching a River Biome.

When breaking a River Treasure Block, you’ll receive Iron and Gold Nuggets mostly. However, you can also receive Emerald and Diamond Nuggets, which are newly included items, as shown on the image above. Combining 9 of these Nuggets will turn them into a regular Diamond or Emerald.
