Jungle Temples
If you look carefully in the Jungle biome, you will sometimes find a rare Jungle temple like the one below:
The Jungle temple is made out of cobblestone and mossy cobblestone. Inside the temple is a series of traps to avoid and 2 chests to find.
You can find the first chest by solving a puzzle. Go to the lower level of the temple and find the 3 levers. Flip the levers in the right order and a small room with a chest will be revealed.
Here is a sneak peek at the room (directly behind the three levers are two sticky pistons, a redstone repeater and a chest).
Inside this chest, there is a good chance it contains Wild Armor Trim, which you can use to visually customize your armor using a Smithing Table.
The second chest is also on the lower level down the hallway after you have encountered all of the traps.
