The Minecraft archeology system was an exciting new mechanic first announced as part of the massive, but controversial, Caves and Cliffs update. A number of announcements made at the same time were eventually shelved, including bundles and archeology, while The Warden and its Deep Dark biome were delayed as part of the update being split in two. This was no bad thing, as it was due to so much more content being added than originally planned, and now, the archeology system is officially back in business.
Thanks to the delays, changes, and disappointments of previous updates, Minecraft 1.20 is evolving a little differently, with no features being revealed until they are definite, and no official name. Both the community and development are shaping the update organically ahead of its full rollout. The latest reveal confirms that archeology is now officially one of the features coming with the Minecraft 1.20 release date, as confirmed by Mojang Studios. To refresh your memory on the mechanic, here’s everything we know about the Minecraft archeology update.
