Minecraft Announces Archeology Once Again

In the 2020 Minecraft Live, the developers from Mojang had originally revealed archeology. This included bundles and structures that allowed players to find dig sites. They hinted at brushes and ancient structures that had the potential for players to discover hidden artifacts. This update was supposed to be with the Cave and Cliffs update with Deep Dark, however, it was pushed back due to the pandemic. After not coming out for both parts of the Cave and Cliffs update and the Wild Update fans had assumed that Mojang had completely got rid of the idea. 

However, Minecraft Developer Ulraf on Twitter had hinted the update was coming back by tweeting:

We’re looking for a special type of sand today. Pick a nice plot near some desert temples and start shoveling. As we continue to work on archeology, more dig site areas will be added,” stated Mojang’s announcementSome of the additions that Mojang is adding in 1.20 is the suspicious sand, brushes, and pottery shards. The pottery shards can be used to create a vase and it is completely customizable. Some of these illustrations include a skeleton face, a diamond, a bow and arrow, and a player. “Once you collect four shards, you can put them together for a pot! There are different patterns that tell unique stories and make for very decorative accents in your builds,” Mojang said. The major difference compared to the Minecraft 2020 live is the removal of the color from the pottery shards. 

The developers also hint at a new location in a game “the secret library that I found and now officially live in is filled with them.” Will there be a new additional library besides the one in the stronghold?

Currently, there is no date for when the official Minecraft 1.20 update will be released.
