Sweety's Archaeology is a small mod, adding new archeology structures and special QoL relics found in them

General Tweaks

Brushing archaeology blocks will now grant Experience points (can be customised)

Most of the structures from the mod will not drop one item at the time like vanilla structure do. Some ressources may drop in larger quantities, especially common ones.

Mineshafts will now sometime provide maps to a nearby Ruined Mineshaft
