Message in a Bottle

The Message In A Bottle is part of the Don't Starve Shipwrecked DLC Content.

It can be found laying on beaches, and appears as a normal bottle, but with a piece of paper inside. It takes up a separate inventory slot. Once the message has been read, it will become a regular Bottle.

Upon reading the message, the players map will open, and a red X will be placed somewhere on it. This X will then appear anytime the player opens their map. If the player travels to the location, they will find two bones layed out in the formation of an X, where they can then dig with a shovel to uncover a treasure chest. Several Snakes will also appear when the chest is dug up. The chest usually contains valuables, such as Dubloons and Gems.
