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

 

Items & Blocks

The structure section of this modpage details where each relic is found

Archaeology Maps : Found in the Cartographer's house chest, or traded by Cartographers and Wandering Traders. They'll point to either one of the mod's structure (outside of Ruined Mineshafts) or a Trail Ruin

Tuff Podiums : Blocks used to display your items, made from Tuff blocks and any Wool

Silex Tools : Mostly a decorative relic, like Chainmail for Armors
Fossilised Egg : Mostly a decorative relic, can be thrown to inflict Nauseau
Golden Cube : While in the Hotbar, will repair equiped armors and held tools at the cost of its durability. Won't repair shields while blocking.
Spider Amulet : Used to summon temporary minions, taking the shape of Golden Spiders
Broken Clock : Delay your death when killed, giving you extra time to save your items from lava, or to deal a last blow to a monster.
Climbing Axe : Allows you to move easier vertically, and overall enhance your movements
Expired Miner Brew : Luck potion, granting either buff, debuffs, or simply funny random events. ! Can sometime destroy surrounding blocks !
Ancient Berries : Grant the Poisonous effect, making you immune to Poison and inflicting it to your targets
Weather Idols : Mostly a decorative relic, allows you to change the weather.

 

Structures

Ruined Minesahfts are a smaller, buried counterparts to Mineshafts, obstructed by gravel. This structure is way smaller than vanilla mineshafts, generally consisting of 3 to 5 corridors. This structure doesn't impact the vanilla Mineshafts in any way. Maps to it can be found in vanilla Mineshafts

Generic items found in Ruined Mineshafts mostly consist of mining items and ores. You may also occasionnaly found items from the Mineshaft minecart's loot table.


Spruce Huts :
