Description

Improved Archeology aims to improve the 1.20 archeology system, while staying true to the feel and style of vanilla minecraft.

Features

More Pottery Shards

Many more patterns can now be discovered whilst digging through desert structures.

Bricks can be used to craft a blank shard, which includes the golden trim from the other patterns

Coloured Decorated Pots

Personalize your pots even further with a new dyable function.

Desert Ruins

A new structure that gives players more opportunities to put their archeological expertise to good use.

(Not Yet Added) Ancient Artifacts

New types of artifacts can be found in suspicious sand, such as small statues or masks

VERY IMPORTANT FOR 1.19.4

When enabling the update 1.20 data pack, make sure that the Fabric Mods data pack is above it, or new pottery shards will not spawn.
