Ultimate Minecraft 1.20 Archeology Guide - Trail Ruins, Brush, Pottery Shards, Armor Trims & More!

[@fernandochapa1433]

This is like a dream come true. I do wish the loot was slightly more interesting maybe more pottery items, art sculpture pieces or maybe paleontology stuff that we could put in a museum would be neat. You gotta understand when you run a survival world we all get to a point where there is nothing else that the world offers you, this is usually when big construction projects happen. But going for archeology side quests will be a good change of pace.

[@timohara7717]

I mean there's 20 sherds

[@emilymiller3362]

It also makes it easier to show how much work goes into the logistics of digs.

[@timohara7717]

We all sharing our collective future knowlege

[@kolkagaming1234]

There’s also a couple of Armour Trims, Emeralds, Diamonds, Iron & Gold Nuggets, Dyes, Candles, Wheat, Glass Panes & Wooden Hoes.

[@Thatevilspacechicken]

Ive made a museum for all sorts of things (armour trims, sherds, and music discs) and getting constant junk from suspicious blocks was really annoying. It would be great if they added more rare stuff thats exclusive to brushing

[@SunGodNikaJoyBoy]

As someone currently in university for Anthropology this is such a dream addition to Minecraft, archaeology is so much more fun than people think it is

[@casualgoats]

Yeah now if only they would actually make it interesting in game.

[@Myreactionwhen_80085]

Luffy is that you?? Are you simping for Nico Robin the Archeologist?

[@xxminecrafthype443]

I love anthropology and was thinking about going to university for that. Probably not the place to ask but do you enjoy it? And are there a lot of anthropology positions even available?

[@littlebighead15]

⁠@@xxminecrafthype443An undergrad degree in such fields typically will not lead to a specialized job, though it can still inform potential employers that you have a certain level of education and the stamina to complete a 4 year program, as nearly all college degrees do. A graduate degree, Masters or even Doctorate, is typically necessary in such fields to get a specific/specialized position. One common path I see students take is find a non field related job after completing their undergrad that offers tuition reimbursement. Then they get their graduate degree(s) virtually for free, while simultaneously earning a salary. Once they complete their graduate program(s), then they will seek a specialized job in their field.

aw the brush animation is really cute lol i find the new pyramid interesting! it's also great that the ocean ruins got suspicious blocks, cool ruins too! i do wonder what they might have looked like in old times great video as always, excited for the next

[@Luke_SkywaIker]

unrelated, but I was able to successfully raid my first Ancient City thanks to your previous guide! On my new survival seed, the ancient city actually generated right beside a Pillager Outpost which was even more interesting (due to the lore). I actually managed to get the Warden to despawn a few times using snowballs to distract it and elytra to fly away when it got too close. Your channel is extremely helpful for those of us who are just getting back into the game, major props to you!

[@matiestrella510]

You said suspicious a total of 178 times on this video

[@moeshrooms385]

How suspicious of him

[@noone8958]

I swear this old village civilization buried underground look much more advance then regular village you find

[@lunamoth0365]

The lore of the game makes it pretty apparent that the old civilizations were far more advanced than modern day. Like ancient cities, jungle temples with redstone, shipwrecks (meaning we used to be able to travel by ship rather than by boat) etc.

[@user-tq6rp2pf8q]

Just seeing the creeper face in the trail made me think it may be possible that the ancient civilizations used to worship creeper because out of all the original hostile mobs ig only creeper is the one which doesn't attack villagers 🤣🤣🤣

[@akshaykannan98]

Sometimes, the suspicious gravel is hanging adjacent to other blocks. If its adjacent to another suspicious gravel, brushing that would cause the blocks to fall, breaking all of them in that row.

[@True_NOON]

I am so glad little robbie never goes hungry, he is a bit mechanical in his approaches but really warm inside :D

[@ChariFlari]

I would like for them to add to this later on, the system is already great but certainly by maybe adding bronze and bronze chests, that might spawn in these Trail Ruins would be really cool

[@EyeMCreative]

Or even if they don't add bronze, I like the idea of iron chests, and maybe gold and copper. They could be explosion and fireproof chests, have trapped chest variants, and maybe have some other advantages

[@spritemon98]

Would be nice to add the copper to expand the chests but that would only exacerbate the storage problem

[@jursamaj]

@@spritemon98 Pretty much anybody who plays MC for very long goes for modded, and storage isn't a problem.

[@ichintendo]

Would be nice to see naturally generated pots with loot in them, like in Terraria.

[@EyeMCreative]

Yeah it could be rare because they're breakable but you could maybe find them under desert temples or a stronghold or maybe underwater ruins/temples. Anywhere that'd be sealed off/protected and realistically have a low chance of someone coming along and breaking the pot. It'd also give some nice Zelda vibes, haha

Warm Ocean Ruins clearly the best Archeology structure in the game because of the Sniffer Eggs.

To clarify, @1:40, he says, "Looting and Mending," but actually is using the Looting and Fortune III enchanted books. Mending can be applied, as he then correctly says.

I was trying to figure that out since he literally just put mending on it. This guy needs to think more before he speaks.

[@BrickstarStudios]

On Bedrock Edition, I found some cold ocean ruins that did actually generate with suspicious sand. Might be a Bedrock exclusive, and they did generate on the surface, so they definitely weren't your normal ruins, but I did want to point that out.

I had a cold one but no sand wierd Whats not weird is what you saw i mena it makes sense just like orws

Also. These trail ruins have blocks that I would love to pick up as a collector myself in Minecraft! I love terracotta so I’m snatching that. Also I saw mud bricks too and I’d also snatch that if the game is gonna just give me that lol!

[@AsryaKino]

If you use the seed "Diskworld" there's one of those trail ruins right at the edge of the spruce forest you can get to from the spawn... I didn't know what it was and had started trying to dig it out because I was so confused by the random terracotta in the middle of the water, it's super neat and REALLY big too two fave seeds are Diskworld and cat especially in the new snapshot

[@kipoe1]

Wondering the same thing

[@kjj26k]

/fill (x y z x y z) (block) replace (block) So in this case the coordinates would be opposite corners of the rectangle he dug out, and it would be "air replace dirt" and then again with "air replace stone" and so on. Look it up if I have failed to adequately explain, that's how I learned this command, from Google.

[@quashaunlawson3614]

I've actually played th3 1.20 experiments, and it was excellent 👌 😊

[@Ember3221]

I’ve been to 3 different dig sites. I can see the top of structure, but when I dig down, it just hits normal stone or diorite. I get maybe 4-6 suspicious sand and gravel for brushing. I’m playing MCPE 1.20 bedrock edition seed.

[@barelyjulie]

[@mathus3311]

the archeology info is great, but also how did you unearth those structures like that? i saw you put down command blocks but i'd love to know how you did that

Basically replacing the dirt and stone variants with air blocks in a certain radius around the player. Can't say what the commands are, though.

Currently, boats on ice act like sleds, but there are almost no environments that generate in such a way as to allow one to use boats to fulfill that "sledding down a hill" fantasy. So I am 100% behind adding sleds that function on snow. Maybe even have this be a use for turtle shells.

I was so confused when I broke a stone block and I saw bricks and like random things. We also totally didnt notice the blocks like 20 blocks away on the surface next to our spawn (where it started and you where supposed to dig down from) we where just to buisy getting wood, tools and stone😂😂 good to know how these worked.
