How to find Heavy Cores in Minecraft?

Heavy Cores are extremely hard to come by so here’s a step-by-step guide on how to find them:

• Heavy Cores can be found in Minecraft by opening Vaults using Trial Keys.
• Vaults are special blocks that resemble spawners and are only found within Trial Chambers.
• The first step in finding a Heavy Core is to locate a trial chamber. These chambers generate between layers -20 and -40 in the Overworld.
• Since they do not have any surface indicators, you can go to a cartographer village and buy a trial explorer map that marks the location of nearby trial chambers.
• Once you have found a trial chamber, the next objective is to find a Trial Key. You can do this by taking out Trial Spawners who have a 50% chance of dropping the key.
• Once you get the Trial Key, you can proceed to open the vault.
• However, this is where the hard part comes in as locating a vault doesn’t guarantee a Heavy Core since it only has a 2.2% drop rate.
• That being said, once a vault has been opened, you will have to find another one if you don’t end up finding a Heavy Core in there.
