A Complete Guide To Minecraft 1.20 Archeology! 

should they add a new structure solely for an archeology site??

It’s cool to see some of the oldest structures in minecraft get an update

I think suspicious sand should also generate around bury treasure, around ruins and shipwrecks, and around sand bury fossils.

They should add a new structure in the badlands where archeology is included.

I really hope that ruins will appear to complement the archeology. It would make biomes much more interesting. 🤔

imagine if we could craft sus sand and put what ever item we want into it, we could make treasure hunts and make our own dig sites that other people can discover

The suspicious sand creates so many opportunities, one of the best additions for 1.20

I feel lime they should have you craft the wet clay pot with 4 clay blocks, then you place the shards on any side and burn the pot to harden it like in the 1.17 reveal. Also i feel like you should find excavation sites at abandoned villages and at jungle temples and up to 11 shards to collect

The archeology right now feels kinda underwhelming, I think it has way more potential. I really hope they add some changes

They should let you use dyes to color each individual shard face and use glow sacs on them so we can personalise them even more

I think the Jungle temple deserve some love on this archeological front, but apart from that a place that i think would be interesting, if not useful, to have acheology sites would be a stronghold. Think about it, its a freaking whole stronghold hidden in the underground, it would make sense for there to have some remnants of the past in there. edit: Maybe it would be a bit weird because sand wouldn't always make sense in there so maybe sus gravel or dirt? Or some other block, who knows.

After all these years, there is finally is a secret room in the desert temples.

The underwater ruins seems a good place for more archeology.

I really hope they add sus and to ocean monuments. I feel like it would be a lot of fun to try and find the armor template that way

It would probably be really hard to check (as items only spawn in naturally generated sus sand), but I wonder if having a sus sand that contains TNT drop and break would result in the TNT exploding? Might make excavating a site more interesting if it did.

I think the old archaeological system shown in Minecraft Live 2020 was much better than what we have now. - You could brush off gravel and sand blocks, removing layer by layer. - The feature was not limited by one biome. - To craft the pot, you had to assemble the shards with clay and then cook the pot over a fire or in a furnace.

Thanks for making these vids, there really entertaining and help catch me up on what’s going on with the newest updates and snapshots. Hope you get to 2 mil subs soon!

The most sus sand of all sand 6:01

I like how yall giving your two cents bout archeology being added and where else suspicious sand should be but completely rolling over the fact Wattles said sharting at 1:40

I hope we will get a new hostile mob "Mummy" exclusive to Pyramid. Imagine A Mummy suddenly Pop up like a warden on the ground while you're excavating. Atleast 1 Exclusive Mob for pyramid structure 😭 Just like -Shulker on End City -Guardian/Elder Guardian on Ocean Monument. -Pillagers on Mansion and Outposts -Silverfish on Stronghold.

They should add archeology sites

Love your videos, it helps me out building up the DulmCraft server world! :)

It would be cool if Mojang also added suspicious dirt and added dig sites around jungle temples and strongholds, or maybe even in ancient cities.

Love it when wattles posts

Would love to see them add "Suspicious Gravel" and use it for the Jungle temple. Maybe add some new lower level rooms that ya gotta mine the cobblestone to reveal patches of gravel and "suspicious gravel" beneath.

~record scratch~ I could have been repairing my bows in the crafting table?! Really excited to play this update!

Maybe archeology sites very sparsely in the mesa biome? It’ll add to the desserted/old timey vibes the mesa gives. Especially in conjunction with the mineshafts.

Call me crazy, but archeology sites really should be included around ancient cities.

Definitely want more to dig up. Even a new "dig site" in roofed forest or something. A big ol spot to dig

Fun fact ! You can CTRL + Middle Mouse Click on naturally generated suspicious sand to get the sand with the NBT data. If you place it it will have the block.

I wish there were trimmed armor pieces in the loot pool for the suspicious sand. Like maybe iron or leather ones, so not good, but you could find a combination you'd never have made yourself maybe, esp on dyed leather armor

Jungle temples for sure. It would fit perfectly in with the ancient theme.

15:27 definitely Jungle Temples. The block you brush away could be coarse dirt or gravel.

i think different types of sus sand (like gravel, dirt, stone, etc) would be cool and maybe help add archaeology to other structures, like gravel/stone for the jungle temple. also tmr better be a survival episode or i swear-

It would be nice to have dig sites in the end, like sus endstone, we could make a story about how end citys were built, and who built them

I was really looking forward to using the brushing mechanic to change dirt and gravel blocks layer by layer around my base. It would have been an awesome way to customize the terrain and to spawn proof areas without light. Oh well, I'm still excited about archaeology!

I can’t help but laugh each time I hear “sharding” 😂

It's great video wattles it's so su good bro

The ruined villages would be so cool with suspicious sand

it’d be cool to see a red suspicous sand block in the badlands biome. i feel like archeology would have been such a good fit for the badlands

4:59 there are ways to get it as a item in survival. if it drops on water or a pot you can collect it

Gotta love those "decorativw pots"

5:25 - Oh please, PLEASE Mojang, don't make another unpaired feature between Java and Bedrock.

Your the best wattles and don't you think there should be digsigts everywere

feel like Quicksand would've been a good addition with this as a sort of desert update

High-valued archeology loot in the ocean would definitely give us a reason to explore the seabed more.

there needs to be a luck enchant book that you can only get by digging and adds better items to the loot table as well as a chance to get a higher level enchant book. it would add more reasons to explore these dig sites as they would get more valuable over time.

It'd be cool if suspicious sand (and hopefully in the future other sus blocks) generated every so often around the environment, without any structures.. like a tiny lil thing to do on your way to wherever you're going, where you otherwise mightve just been pressing W and Spacebar. im picturing something almost like burried metal chests in BOTW Plus carrying around a tool taking up a precious inventory slot would be less of a hit, cuz finding structures isn't a guarentee

FYI, in archaeology, a piece of broken pottery is called "sherd"

I think a really cool place to put sus sand/gravel would be the abandoned villages! In case you didn’t know, there’s a rare chance for a village to spawn as an abandoned village: filled with zombie villagers and cobwebs. Maybe the old gravel paths of the village could have artifacts stored within them. They could have a high chance of emeralds and more village oriented shards (villager faces, emeralds, depictions of the danger of pillagers, ect). Seeing a deserted village is already uncanny enough with it being filled with cobwebs and zombies, but being able to dig up their ancient history from the very gravel paths the used to tread on would be that extra bit of heartbreaking. But there’s one contradiction: villages don’t have gravel as paths anymore, they have dirt paths. So I am suggesting that the deserted villages get changed so that they take the shape of the old villages pre village and pillage. This would be an awesome nostalgic callback and would imply that the new villages were created after or because the old ones were overrun.

Rip string pickaxe, you won't be missed.

Honestly I see archeology being added all over, from badlands mineshafts to jungle temples, they would have to make sus dirt or other blocks but it would make exploration a lot better IMO

I hope they will add the option to put items in the pots that you can only get out of the pots by breaking them.

2 questions: 1 have you tried a looting offhand while brushing? 2 if you put an item in the center of the 4 shards will that item be inside the pot and pop out when you break it?

In the parts of the video where you show the potential loot for each excavation area, how did you lay the items on the table like you did? The items are all laying on the table without item frames, which seems impossible. I'd love to learn this trick to use for decoration!

They should add exposed fossils with like a bunch of sus sand that would be so cool to find

Add archeology to the jungle temple. Rare drop is 1 of 3 pieces to craft an obsidian pickaxe or obsidian axe. Same durability as diamond but cant enchant. Add same for desert temple except for copper pick or axe. These items can only be crafted from these archeology shards.

i think putting sus soul sand around portals, sus mud around witch huts, and sus dirt around jungle temples would make archeology much cooler and add more opportunities for it to be found/utilized

Jungle Temple... The place has been forgotten for a while. Also, what about atlantian loot in the guardian temples? That would fit with the current feel of the temples... Loot would have to include Trident-pattern pots, prismarine and a rare heart of the sea?

It would be cool to be able to put stuff in the pots. Like emeralds, would be cool for doing zelda stuff

I think they should add a whip, like Indiana Jones theme, to traverse chasms, mountains. And snakes. Maybe some traps too.

I think we should get some excavation sites in the Nether. Having some archeology added to this dimension can add more to the Minecraft lore

HI!!!!!!! Can you make a video of BETTER SNIFFER IDEAS?? And new archaeology sites

2:44 Lol the animation feels like you just tickle the block XD

I think they should make it where you can drop items on it and it sucks it up like a hopper but you have to break it to get the items

YAY WATTLES

Can you use silk touch to mine the sus sand later?

I hope your happy knowing you made me think there was more to tear room😂

They should do more with the side towers of the desert pyramid like an excavated lower level or something 🤔

The new feather copper sword looking good

mojang missed a big opportunity to make the silhouettes on the pot shards old items like the rose

will i need to do anything to get this to generate in an existing world or do i need to start over?

i believe the desert wells will spawn somewhere in the area of desert villages

I like the new brush and room in temple but for everything else i much prefer the original from 2020

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jungle Temples, Ocean Ruins, Mineshafts and maybe new secret rooms for woodland mansions or even the ancient cities

They should make suspicious soil for around the jungle temples.

But how abt using silktouch on brush and what happens if you mine the pots with silk

They should make the secret room the entrance to a maze

I could see this coming to an abandoned dessert village variant.

You should be able to hide stuff in sand changing it into sand

This is really cool im an archaeologist and love minecraft

Day 5 of commenting: I think I thought up a good name for the update. So while I was thinking in the shower I thought up a new name: Fable and Flora. Fables are like stories which is literally said by Kingbdogs to be the theme for the update and a lot of things have a story aspect to them like: Archaeology, the sniffer, new bookshelf’s, signs and kinda armour trims(make your own story of how you got them) and flora is like plants and stuff so cherry blossom, sniffer plants, bamboo stuff kinda. Anyway I hope you see this.(you could also make it the other way round Flora and Fable idk which sounds better).

The jungle temple could use some TLC.

The fact that games are now using the term, "suspicious," right after among us was created. Suspicious stew, powder snow is technically suspicious snow, and now suspicious sand.

I feel like the old concept we saw of archeology is better than the new one

I was excited for this update but I can’t find any digsites lol

Mine shafts need it too. Really, I think all the structures that no villagers live at should have it. That includes the ancient city. Oh which reminds me, another drop from the sand could be a map to an ancient city, or a clue to where it might be.

Wattles uploads and I watch be like me

they should add suspicious sand to the underground ribcage structure so it looks like we are unearthing a dinosaur skeleton

It' would be awesome if they added a new dimension

I think suspicious sand needs to spawn randomly throughout deserts, I think archeology should also be in jungle temples and def ancient cities

hmm... what if. if an end update, throw some archelogy there. as a way to hint at why the end is so barren?

Ocean ruins and jungle temples need archeology

We should be able to use the brush on cats and dogs for special emotes from our pets

i really hope they update the textures on the pots soon. the old designs were so much better!!! even if they dont do the colors i think the overall shape of the old design was better. this looks like a shotty mod made in 5 minutes

The ancient cities would be so cool with archeology loot! They're literally begging to be included

Saturation or satiety? Little confused here. Which one is a possible side effect of the sus stew?

is it possible to do it in creative and mobile minecraft?

Hello wattles

can you stack blank pots?
