Better Archeology adds new life to the archeology mechanic in Minecraft. As for now, it changes how suspicious blocks are being excavated by the brush. Instead of a plain texture change, suspicious blocks now crumble when you use a brush on them!
This pack does not require OptiFine or any of its alternatives to work.
