Jungle Shrine
Jungle Shrines are structures generated at world creation in random areas of the Underground Jungle. A shrine contains a single Ivy Chest, which contains a single rare Underground Jungle item, as well as a variety of other usual Underground and Cavern items. All Jungle Shrines in a world are composed entirely of either Iridescent Bricks, Mudstone Bricks, Rich Mahogany, Tin Bricks, or Gold Bricks, and contain a single placed Green Torch.
The material of the shrine can be used to determine the location of the Floating Island that contains a Shiny Red Balloon, Iridescent Bricks meaning it's probably on the far left side of the world, and Gold Bricks meaning it's likely on the far right side of the world. The random value of the material can also be used to determine other things about the world, like the depth of the Shimmer and Dungeon.
Some of the Jungle Shrine's rare items can be acquired from Jungle and Bramble Crates, which can be fished in the Jungle Biome.

Notes
- Ivy Chests can also be found at the base of Living Mahogany Trees.
Trivia
- Shrines may be used for housing if they are big enough and supplied with missing furniture requirements. This does not require the player to destroy existing walls or the Jungle Torch and then re-place them. Alternatively it is entirely possible to destroy the entire Shrine and then use the materials to build a house elsewhere.
- Jungle Shrines can sometimes generate in a Bee Hive; sometimes even in the Jungle Temple, which might allow easy access to the Temple before obtaining a Temple Key.
- Prior to
Mobile version 1.3.0.7, a larger exclusive version of the Jungle Shrine, called the Jungle Sanctum, could generate, but it has since been removed.
