Exploration +: A Survival Expansion

Archaeology:

Using mud, terracotta, and three pottery sherds will make a Clay Relic (as shown above). There are 5 obtainable clay relics, each using the Explorer, Arms Up, Danger, Miner, and Angler pottery sherds. You can also now use two leather and four terracotta to craft an Archaeology Table, which works as a workbench for a new villager profession- the Archaeologist. Villagers who use the Archaeology table as a workbench have archaeology-based trades, trading armor trims, pottery sherds, and minerals for emeralds.

Goats:

Goats now have a chance of dropping their pelt when killed. Pelt can be used to reinforce a shield and give it extra durability. It can also be used to craft Goatskin Boots. Goatskin Boots are very durable, and also offer +2 armor points of protection. Players that have Goatskin Boots equipped will also receive the Jump Boost effect.

Amethyst and Copper:

Eight amethyst shards, when placed in a crafting table, now craft an Amethyst Gem. These gems can be used to make the Amethyst Sword, a new weapon. The Amethyst Sword deals 12 damage, but shatters instantly after used. Players can also use copper blocks, tinted glass, and an amethyst gem to craft amethyst lenses, which can then be used to craft the Tinted Copper Goggles. Tinted Copper Goggles, when worn, grant the player with Night Vision, but will also tint the screen in an amethyst color.  Copper, when combined with Rabbits Hide and String, can also be used to craft an Ore Pouch. Ore Pouches can hold up to nine stacks of ores, and make mining expeditions much more convenient. 

Sculk:

Echo Shards can now be used in a Smithing Table to turn Iron Armor into Sculk Armor. Sculk Armor is similar to Netherite Armor, but will turn invisible at night. Sculk armor also offers additional protection during nighttime, however, it cannot be enchanted.

Nautilus:

Players can now find the Chambered Nautilus in warm ocean and coral reef biomes. Chambered Nautili drop a Nautilus Shell when killed. Using a nautilus shell in a crafting table along with blackstone, gold blocks, and an emerald can make the Gilded Nautilus Shell. Gilded Nautilus Shells shatter when used, producing a sound that stuns nearby piglins and piglin brutes, allowing players to make a quick escape from a tough situation.

Foodstuffs:

•  Squids now have a chance of dropping Raw Calamari when killed.
•  Raw Calamari can be cooked in a furnace to produce Fried Calamari.
•  Green Apples can now be found in villager chests. Trading one and 8 gold blocks with an archaeologist villager will give you an enchanted apple.
•  Cocoa beans, sugar, and milk can be used to craft chocolate. Chocolate gives players a short yet powerful speed boost.

World Generation:

The Applewood Grove is a new biome that can now generate in the Overworld. The trees in this biome are made of Applewood, a new wood type. When crafted into planks, Applewood resembles Oak Wood, but has a paler, more aged look to it. Players can now also find Sundials in meadow and plains biomes. Sundial chests have Weapon Blueprints, a new item that can be used in a Smithing Table along with wood, cobblestone, iron, gold, diamond, or netherite to craft an axe or sword of that type.

Other Items:

1. Surrounding a feather with gold ingots in a crafting table can now craft a Golden Feather. When a player is falling, they can right-click a Golden Feather to freeze themselves midair, effectively resetting their fall damage, before continuing to fall.
2.  The Bamboo Flute can now be crafted using two pieces of bamboo and an iron ingot. When the Bamboo Flute is in the main hand of a player, they can use the Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, and K keys to play notes.

Enchantments:

• Stun. Can be used on axes. When an entity is attacked by a weapon with the Stun enchantment, they will be paralyzed for 2-5 seconds (level based)
• Water Aspect. Can be used on weapons. Water aspect deals extra damage to blazes, endermen, ender dragons, snow golems, and magma cubes.
• Leech. Can be used on weapons. When an entity is attacked by a weapon with the Leech enchantment, there is a small chance (level based) that the attacking player will regenerate their HP.

Tweaks:

• Jack o'Lanterns are now crafted using candles instead of torches.
• Right-clicking stripped logs with bonemeal will "unstrip" the wood, converting them to regular logs.
• Using a wither rose on an awkward potion in the brewing stand will craft a potion of decay - this gives players a wither effect. (Bedrock Edition parity fix)
