1.20 Archaeology

1.20 villages often sit next to archaeology sites. Bring a brush and gently sweep suspicious gravel/sand (don't click rapidly) to get pottery shards for decorative pots, or ancient seeds. Seed #2 1904662572's desert temple + suspicious gravel is the best starter for archaeology.

Warning: Use a brush (feather + copper + stick) for archaeology — bare hands only shatter suspicious blocks into nothing.

Cherry Grove Build Ideas

Cherry groves are 1.20's most photogenic biome. Pair cherry wood + white concrete + glass for a Japanese-style cottage, with a cherry-wood boardwalk along the petals. Campfire warm light makes pink silhouettes at night. BSL shaders push it further.

Warning: Cherry saplings only grow from bone meal inside cherry groves — stock up saplings at spawn before building elsewhere.
