So livid right now

[Mews]

I spent literal hours searching for the treasure hunter in my world, traveling thousands of blocks to find this guy to start the main story. Hearing about paying other traders for it's location in 1.21, i was so fucking happy. Only to find out THE TREASURE HUNTER NEVER SPAWNED IN MY WORLD! I HAD TO SPAWN HIM IN! WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Was this on an existing world?

Yes, made in 1.20

Then that explains it. It still works but some things might break.

were you able to ? When I tried to spawn him it says treasure hunter asset missing

I just updated from 1.20 also. I tried to follow the instructions for spawning in the treasure hunter. I found a trader who sold me a map for 4 gears. I used the map it it said, "no location found on this map". Eventually I tried the spawning in again - and then I got an X on my map. I went to the X, and there's nothing there. I'm not sure exactly what I'm trying to find, but I haven't gotten any kind of error message, but also I haven't found a treasure hunter or any new kind of structure. I don't know if there's still a problem with what I did or what. At least so far (knock on wood) it hasn't broken my old world. Ok - it finally worked. Either I forgot to do the last command, or the second time was the charm. It was /wgen_deir_10  I'm not sure the underlines are really there or not. It didn't work when I typed it without them. I finally just clicked on the command and it worked. This did NOT work right. I got a treasure hunter in a fancy little building, but he was just asked for a tin-bronze pick and gave me the map to the Resonance Chamber.

Welcome to the forums! If it was a treasure map that you bought, you will need to dig down until you find an old treasure chest. It will contain a handful of random items of decent or better value, although you may need to do quite a bit of digging in order to find the chest.

If you're referring to the map for the treasure hunter's special quest though(the one you trade a tin bronze pickaxe for), that's a bit different. In that case, the X marks the approximate position of the entrance to the first major story location, but not the exact position. You'll need to search the nearby area in order to find the entrance.

1.21 just got out of the proverbial oven, so there is bound to be some burned edges on that cake. Just report the issues (for now), and give the devs time to fix them in the upcoming 1.21.1. Yes I understand that the issues described (missing treasure hunter at location x) are aggrevating. But since you are updating from 1.20.12 to 1.21.0, there will unfortunately be cases where a import is less than satisfactory.

I got hit with that message as well. Now I simultaneously want and don't want to create a new world. 

This is early access after all. I'll probably let the dust settle on 1.21.x for a while.

Thats what I am doing. And since I am currently busy with a megabuild, it will keep me locked to 1.20.x for a while, unless I make a more dedicated map with just enough plugins dedicated for the megabuild, and a normal map that uses a more updated VS
