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.
