Custom Archeology
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
This data pack offers an intuitive way for players to bury their own loot and create their own suspicious sand/gravel by simply placing sand or gravel on top of items.
3 simple steps:
- Throw your item (can be multiple of the same item) onto the ground.
- Place a sand or gravel block onto the same block that it falls on.
- Uncover what you buried by brushing the block as normal.
Few things to note:
- If you break the suspicious sand/gravel you will lose the item you put in it, just as you would normally.
- If you drop multiple of the same item but not at the same time, you will need to wait briefly for them to combine into one item stack for them all to be buried.
- Only items that a player has dropped can be buried. Items dropped from any other sources will not be affected.
