## Questions

**What is a desert temple?** A sandstone pyramid in the desert, with a hidden room full of loot and a TNT trap. [Minecraft Wiki](https://minecraft.wiki/w/Desert_Pyramid)

**How do I loot it safely?** Don't drop onto the pressure plate in the middle of the hidden room: simply dig down from the side and break the pressure plate without falling on it.
