Minecraft‘s upcoming update to 1.20 is adding a new activity to spice up the desert biome, along with a new brush tool to aid in any archeological endeavors. Developer Mojang has been using its Bedrock Betas to introduce brand new content for some time now, with this latest update bringing a gorgeous cherry blossom biome, a new mob, and the ability to dig and discover with archeology.
Dig up and brush pottery shards to turn them into new pots
Revealed in a blog post detailing upcoming changes to Minecraft, players can now venture out to the desert biomes and look for a new block — suspicious sand. Upon locating these blocks, archeologists will need to use the brush tool to uncover pottery shards, which can then be combined to rebuild ancient pots by ensuring the patterns match.
Other random objects are also available to uncover when brushing Suspicious Sand, but the star attractions are certainly the new puzzle-piece decorative pots, perfect for history or ancient temple builds.
Originally announced at Minecraft Live on October 15, 2022, it’s still unclear when 1.20 will be releasing fully, we’re speculating summer 2023 for it to hopefully drop. In other news, Nintendo teases a Tears of the Kingdom Switch OLED.
