Everything To Know About Archaeology In Minecraft 

This also marks the first change to the desert temple (or pyramid as it actually is) structure in about 9 years, as a new room has been added with sand in it

I hope they add copper back to the brush recipe. More uses for copper are always appreciated for me!

i feel like archeology is definitely going to change more by the time the next update comes out in full and i'm excited for it

The way pots are crafted is actually kinda revolutionary for modders / datapack creators as it allows crafting to create items with arbitrary NBT data, replacing the knowledge book system.

I wish you were able to make your own sussy sand by holding right click on sand with an item, burying it for someone else to find, or not find.

i love the addition of archaeology but i have the feeling that it will be extremely limited, i hope they do something like shields or banners to be able to print some nice designs on those pots, not just the standard ones.

I was hoping you could at least store maybe multiple counts of the same potion in a pot or just be able to us them to bulk make a potion and then with a bottle get individual potions out instead of making individual potions.

As a long-time desert well fan, I’m glad to see they haven’t forgotten about them!

'you can brush sand for a long time, nothing is gonna happen' truly the new bedrock mining

I so want the pots to be able to be dyed. Or just dye the patterns. Edit: even better, glazed terracotta pots.

They should add a rare chance when breaking the pot with a sword, it should drop some emeralds!

as an anthropology major, this update is Very pleasing

Can’t wait to see what else they’ll do for archeologically because so far it’s pretty cool.

"Finally they have a use" I always found the infinite water source pretty useful.

I hope they add more features to archeology. The pots are nice but kinda boring for the result of a whole new feature. Would love to be able to find fossils and maybe a new gemstone type such as pyrite.

It’s pretty clear they were overly ambitious with archeology from the start. Hopefully they keep adding more archeology items in a future update. Ancient Sniffer eggs would be a cool item to add before launch, along with a few more shards and one unique new item you have a very rare chance of unearthing, such as a new enchantment book that could maybe be used on the brush? Also can fortune be used on the brush?

I know i’m not the only one who used to mine underneath those sand wells in hopes of finding something cool when I was younger😂 now there’s something cool!

can you get the "sussy sand" with breaking it normally? or with silk touch? or can it just not drop. Also is ths NBT data random, or would you get the same item if you just put in the same seed?

I want to be able to use that brush on pet Wolves. That is my one desire for this.

Wow, this feature has SO much potential! I really hope when they add the copper golems, that they could only be found oxidized in suspicious sand. This would add a lot of lore!

I hope we get some colorful pictures on the pottery fragments like they showed in the 1.17 video!

I wonder if this will give rise to new archaeology or palaeontology mods using this official game mechanic

This is going to be great for me to help me not get lost in the caves. I can add these as direction markers!

the new room in the desert temple is cool! it doesnt really serve much of a purpose and is likely that it wont be a used feature, but i think its a nice touch

YES! archaeology is what ive been wanting since it was first announced

The suspicious sand for map makers adding items into it is cool, but I'm really pumped to see the resource pack side of this. Could the sand be a new block used for custom blocks via optifine?

Can you enchant the brush? Like giving it unbreaking to improve dura or fortune to get more drops?

so are the jar thingys for storage, or for decoration?

This is looking to be the best update since 1.18!

FINALLY ARCHAEOLOGY YESSSS

What are the possible drops and chances from this?

I hope they go back to the concept shown back the where you burn a pot made of clay after putting the shards into it

This vid was very helpful! Thanks!

Now I can have more decoration in my base :D

Jordan didn't even realize that the bow on the pottery is actually a Wob

Another video?? Amazing. 🎉 Edit: And there’s a 3rd one coming!!! Let’s gooo

i hope we get more types of shards those can be used for traps and puzzles

This was better than I expected

Oooooh they should add it so we can clean mossy blocks with the brush 😂

I hope they add the ability to swipe away the block like they did in 1.17. It just seems cooler.

Please notice how the archer shard displays a WOB instead of a bow. A very clear reference I would say...

This aged like fine wine

I wish I could put an item inside the pottery and set the pottery to be destroyed (not drop itself). Then I could smash pots for rubys like in Zelda.

I was a little sad when Mojang announced that archaeology would be delayed to a later update, but the wait is going to be so worth it

Mr sparkles forgot to mention you acne find a new room in desert temples, just to let you guys know :p

Jardoon may have ~11 million subscribers but is still underrated.Also Mogus?

I feel like this feature is okay but it needs more. It feels no more complete than when it was first shown off a couple years ago, as they could be doing so much more with it. Maybe you could dig up artefacts that are used for special crafting, maybe some fragmented weapons and armour that could be repaired? (maybe around iron tier but with special attributes) Hey, this could even serve as a method to find chainmail armour. Additionally, they could introduce new ruins to the desert where this sand can be found, as the temple and the well being the only places where it is found is a bit boring. These ruins could tell stories through the artefacts found there. More incentive to explore the desert, and way more incentive to use this mechanic apart from four simplistic pottery designs.

so does that mean nbt tags are finally coming to bedrock other than can break or can place

sussy sand is gonna be amazing for pitfall traps since the entity despawns instead of making a block

That is honesty such a disappoint update from what it could’ve been

We need to have items in pots for some legend of zelda gameplay.

This looks cool!

(POV: you found suspicious stew in suspicious sand) that sand was Sus, very Sus

ok hear me out...what if- they use f e a t h e r s for the brush instead of string which already has tons of crafting recipes?

even though its already 2023, seeing among us takes me back to the peak of 2020 with Among Us, ratting Kara out, playing tricky towers, getting into MC Championships, unmatched.

That pot will be a great building block

Your voice is so calming ❤

1:45 Brush = string pickaxe.

I cannot wait till the 1.20 random crafting and random loot drop.

Mojang is making this update too sussy 😬

I hope they add the ability to put items into the pots

The pottery gonna make minigames like bingo a lot more interesting.

What-- What happened to the tiny cute pixel art you could paint on the sides of the pots? Mojang always disappointing us...

Finally after 3 updates we have archeology

i’m studying archaeology at uni and i’m not gonna lie it kinda annoys me that it’s called pottery ‘shard’ when the actual term is ‘sherd’ but eh it’s still cool

Phoenix says the archer shard has a wob on it 😂🤣

this and the armour trims gonna make random crafting reeeaaal hard

Thats it? I thought there'd be like, buried cities and stuff. Lol.

You can already find Amoguses in Minecraft deserts. There's fossils in the shape of Amoguses. This is not a joke.

That sand is kinda sus 🤨

I respect how much it must have taken for you to say all those sussy quotes 🤣

when you started inpersonating us as if we didnt get something (0:45) i got so worried we werent actually getting archeology lol

folks I Just came up with an idea: bees that have been pollinated with torchflower can produce a special kind of honey after entering the hive, and players can get a special potion effect after drinking it...

It would be smart if the brush was made with feathers

Suspicious Stew in the sussy sand... brings to mind bog cheese or bog butter. Fermented foods and Beers seem like are also an archeology thing just due to how fermented foods/drinks were spread across multiple cultures and lands and time frames.

That sand is truly sussy, makes me want to hold a vote to yeet it from an airlock.

They said the pottery shards tell a story. If it goes: Arms up> Archery> Skull> Prize Does that mean the story is someone killing a dude for their loot?

Ok but when’s the release?

Finally the collab weve been waiting for. Minecraft and Mogus

That's not a brush, that's a string pickaxe!

a string pickaxe, that's easy to remember

Great video, with that being said they better do more with this than random pots you can craft for decorations. I was looking forward to this archaeology update and so far it’s a huge disappointment

Thanks Jordan XD the vid was very helpful🎧

There’s way more than 4 pottery shards. There’s over 20 pottery shards

when he crafted the brush and hovered over it I thought it was named "Bruh" and i was like HUHH?!?!?!

Aw.. I miss the Among us live streams and videos.

I really hope they put more than 4 shards, though know mojang they wont

3:22 - "Watch a man die internally live on video"

I like archeology, but i wish they used the pot designs from the teaser back in 1.17, and the fact that they didn't add that cool animation of the sand going away layer by layer is gonna sad

Cool. Another feature I'll probably use once and never again.

brush would have been better if made with sticks and feathers. makes more sense to me lol

minecraft development: the community isn't liking the direction we're headed, how do we make it more interesting? sussy sand

the sussy sand 😭😭

AU jokes even though he doesnt play anymore XD With NBT coding specific items... another location to hide buttons for map makers XD

The shifty sand is among us

I love this

I think they should have shaped the pot like an ancient Greek anfora

the way i ignored everyone else’s videos so i could watch jordan’s about the archeology

Name a more sussy duo: Sussy stew and sussy sand

Oh my god the wells have use. It is a joyous day
