Pyramid

The Pyramid was a structure added in the 1.2 update.

Pyramids are made of Sandstone Blocks and are rarely created during world generation in Desert Biomes. They can contain treasure rooms with a chance of unique loot like the Flying Carpet, a Sandstorm in a Bottle, the Pharaoh's Mask and the Pharaoh's Robe.

They sometimes spawn partially exposed to the surface, although mining or the use of a Spelunker potion is often better to reveal them. In addition to unique treasures, they offer unique decorative banners and a variety of coins stuffed in bags lying on the floor. The coin hoard can be considerable, especially if bags of gold coins are found.
