Archaeology

Archaeology is an upcoming mechanic that allows the player to find history. This mechanic was originally intended to be part of the Caves & Cliffs update, but it has been delayed to 1.20. This feature is currently available in snapshots for Java Edition 1.19.4, and betas/previews for Bedrock Edition 1.19.70.

Discovering artifacts

By using a Brush on Suspicious Sand at desert pyramids and wells, players can obtain artifacts and other loot, such as Gunpowder, Emeralds, and Ceramic Shards. If the player makes the suspicious sand drop, they permanently break these artifacts. Ceramic Shards can be used to add decoration to Decorated Pots.

Additions

Blocks

Decorated Pot

• Can be crafted with any 4 pottery shards or brick items, shaped rhombic.
  • The type of crafting material decides which picture would occur on the certain side of the crafted decorated pot.
    • The possibile pictures are decided by the type of pottery shard which is used to craft.
    • The brick item will not have a picture.
• Very fragile, and very easy to break it:
  • Will broke apart into its crafting materials when breaking it using any block-breaking tool.
  • Will drop itself when breaking it using empty hand.

Suspicious Sand

• Generates in desert temples and desert wells.
• Brushing the suspicious sand with a brush will extract objects.

Items

File:Brush JE1 BE1.png.png {{Text anchor|[[Brush[[}}

Unlike other items, they are immune to fire and [[lava]] damage. They are primarily used to upgrade [[diamond]] gear and craft [[lodestone]]s. == Obtaining == Netherite ingots are obtained by crafting four [[netherite scrap]]s and four [[gold ingot]]s. It is a shapeless recipe, therefore the placement of the netherite scraps and gold ingots does not matter when crafting it. === Crafting === {{Crafting |head=1 |showname=0 |Netherite Scrap |Netherite Scrap |Netherite Scrap |Netherite Scrap |Gold Ingot |Gold Ingot |Gold Ingot |Gold Ingot |Output=Netherite Ingot |type=Material }} {{Crafting |Block of Netherite |Output=Netherite Ingot,9 |type=Material |foot=1 }} === Chest loot === {{LootChestItem|netherite-ingot}} == Usage == Netherite ingots are crafting materials used to make netherite tools, weapons, and armor. === Crafting ingredient === {{crafting usage}} === Smithing ingredient === Netherite ingots can be used on a [[smithing table]] to upgrade diamond items to netherite items, as well as trim any armor piece.

The player must select one of the available powers, and then insert an ingot in the item slot.

This trade is always offered in Bedrock Edition. ===Chest loot=== {{LootChestItem|shears}} ==Usage== ===Shearing=== Shears lose 1 [[durability]] when used to shear something. Shears can be {{Control|use|text=used}} on a [[sheep]] to remove its coat and drop 1–3 [[wool]] of the corresponding color. The same sheep can be sheared again after it eats from a [[grass block]] to regenerate its coat. Shearing a [[mooshroom]] drops 5 [[mushroom]]s of the corresponding color and irreversibly turns it into a normal [[cow]]. Shearing a [[snow golem]] irreversibly removes its pumpkin, dropping it and revealing its face. Shearing either a [[beehive]] or [[bee nest]] that is full of honey makes it drop 3 [[honeycomb]]s and resets it to honey level 0. The same beehive or bee nest can be sheared again if it is able to reach full honey again. If sheared by hand without a [[campfire]] below the hive or nest all bees within will exit and all nearby bees will attack the offending player. [[Dispenser]]s can use shears in any of the above listed ways, interacting with any valid block or entity in front of the dispenser's face. This decreases the shears' [[durability]]. A dispenser shearing a beehive or bee nest will not anger bees or cause them to leave even if there is not a campfire below it. Shearing a [[pumpkin]] turns it into a [[carved pumpkin]], dropping 4 [[pumpkin seeds]] {{in|java}} or 1-3 pumpkin seeds {{in|bedrock}}. {{IN|java}}, shearing the tip of [[cave vines]], [[kelp]], [[weeping vines]], or [[twisting vines]] sets its age value to 25 and stops further growth. ===Breaking blocks=== Shears use 1 [[durability]] when is used to break any block, even if it [[instant mining|breaks instantly]] by hand. Shears can be used to harvest [[cobweb|cobwebs]], [[leaves]], [[grass|grass, tall grass]], [[seagrass|seagrass, tall seagrass]], [[fern|ferns, large fern]]s, [[dead bush]]es, [[nether sprouts]], [[vines]], [[glow lichen]] or [[hanging roots]] and obtain them in item form. They can also be used to break [[tripwire]] connected to a [[tripwire hook]] without activating it. When shears are used to break [[Weeping Vines|weeping vines]] or [[Twisting Vines|twisting vines]] they are guaranteed to drop in item form instead of the usual 33% chance. This only applies to vines directly broken by shears and not vines that are broken due to the destruction of their supporting vines. The following table shows information about blocks that can be broken with shears. Colors indicate what gets dropped when the block is broken: *White: The original block. *Blue: The block's normal drop (i.e. string, sticks, seeds, saplings, apples). *Red: Nothing. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center" data-description="Blocks broken with shears" ! !No shears breaking time !Shears breaking time |- ! style="text-align:left" |{{BlockLink|Cobweb}} | {{tc|no|20 s}}<ref group="note">Breaking cobwebs with a sword is as fast as breaking with shears, and yields string.

{{exclusive|java}} {{Item | title = Tag | image = Tag.png | renewable = Yes | stackable = Yes (64) }} Tags and Bits are items exclusive to the [[Java Edition 23w13a or b|23w13a_or_b]] [[Easter eggs#April Fools|April Fools' joke]] snapshot from 2023. They are used to craft in-game representations of [[NBT format|NBT tags]]. ==Obtaining== A [[stonecutter]] can be used to cut a [[Name Tag|name tag]] into either 16 "Name" or 16 "Tag" items. These can be cut into 16 Bit items each. {{Stonecutting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |Name Tag |Name, 16; Tag, 16 |description=The resulting "Name" items must be named in an [[anvil]]. }} {{Stonecutting |showdescription= |Name; Tag |Bit, 16 |foot=1 }} To be able to proceed from here the <code>nbt_crafting</code> vote must be approved. Bits can be used in a crafting table to craft Left Curly, Right Curly, Left Square, and Right Square. In appears like these are the only tag items that can be crafted from Bits. A [[Crafting Table|crafting table]] can be used to convert a "Tag" item into a "Byte Tag." The amount of [[stick]]s added to the crafting recipe specifies the value of the Byte, as a [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|signed 8-bit value]]. For example, a "Tag" and a full stack of sticks make a Byte with the value <code>64b</code>, while 255 sticks result in <code>-1b</code>. Only one of the sticks is consumed. Two Bytes can be crafted into a "Short Tag" (equivalent to 16 bit), two Shorts into an "Int Tag" (equivalent to 32 bit), and two Ints into a "Long Tag" (equivalent to 64 bit). Many other combinations that form either 16, 32, or 64 bit are possible. For example, two Shorts and an Int make a Long. When combining values, their digits are stuck together in the given order, e.g. <code>1b</code> and <code>0b</code> make <code>256s</code> (equivalent to 0100<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). Undoing any of these crafting actions in e.g. a stonecutter is not possible. "Float" and "Double Tags" can be crafted by adding one or two [[boat]]s to any numeric tag. A "String Tag" is crafted with a "Tag" and a piece of [[string]]. {{Crafting |head=1 |showdescription=1 |A1= Bit;  ; Bit; Bit |B1=  ; Bit; Bit; Bit |A2=  ; Bit; Bit; |B2= Bit;  ;  ; Bit |A3= Bit;  ; Bit; Bit |B3=  ; Bit; Bit; Bit |Output= Right Curly; Left Curly; Left Square; Right Square |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Tag |String |Output= String Tag |description=String tags must be named in an [[anvil]] to set their value. |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Tag; Tag; Tag |; Stick; Stick, 64 |;  ; Stick, 63 |Output= Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |description=Only 1 stick is consumed. 128 and more sticks make [[wikipedia:Signed number representations#Two's complement|two's complements]]: 128 sticks = <code>-128b</code><br> 129 sticks = <code>-127b</code><br> ⋮<br> 254 sticks = <code>-2b</code><br> 255 sticks = <code>-1b</code> |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |Byte Tag; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ; Byte Tag; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |  ;  ; Byte Tag |Output= Short Tag; Int Tag; Long Tag |description=Shorts and Ints can be combined the same way, even mixed. Digits are appended, e.g. two <code>1b</code> tags make <code>257b</code> (0101<sub>16</sub> in [[wikipedia:Hexadecimal|hexadecimal]]). |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Byte Tag; Short Tag; Int Tag; Long Tag |Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat |Output= Float Tag; Float Tag; Float Tag; Float Tag |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Byte Tag; Short Tag; Int Tag; Long Tag |Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat |Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat; Any Boat |Output= Double Tag; Double Tag; Double Tag; Double Tag |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Left Curly; Left Curly |Name; Name |Byte Tag; Byte Tag |Right Curly; Name |; Byte Tag | |; Name |; Byte Tag |; Right Curly |Output= Compound Tag; Compound Tag |description=Instead of Bytes any other tag can be used, including other compound tags. |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Left Square; Left Square |Byte Tag; Byte Tag |Right Square; Byte Tag |; Byte Tag |; Byte Tag |; Byte Tag |; Byte Tag |; Byte Tag |; Right Square |Output= List Tag; List Tag |description=Instead of Bytes any other tag can be used, including other list tags. |ignoreusage=1 }} {{Crafting |Compound Tag; List Tag |Compound Tag; List Tag |Output= Compound Tag; List Tag |description=Up to 9 can be combined. When compound tags contain identical names, only the latest of the corresponding values is used. |ignoreusage=1 |foot=1 }} "Name" and "String Tags" must be named in an [[anvil]] before they can be used. Unnamed Names and Strings always produce a "Sssyntax Error". None of the other tag items can be named. All these items can be combined in a crafting table to form a short sequence of JSON code, as long as the resulting syntax is valid. For example: *A pair of Curlies that enclose a named "Name" item and some value, e.g. a Byte, create a "Compound Tag" with the content <code>{Example:0b}</code>. **Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 3 name-value pairs can be put between Curlies at a time. Compound Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more Compound Tags. **An empty pair of Curlies produces an empty Compound Tag with the content <code>{}</code>. *A pair of Square brackets that enclose any number of values, e.g. 7 Bytes, create a "List Tag" with the content <code>[0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b,0b]</code>. **Because of the limited size of the crafting table only 7 values can be put between Square brackets at a time. List Tags of any length can be created by concatenating two or more List Tags. **An empty pair of Square brackets produces an empty List with the content <code>[]</code>. **"Name" items cannot be used in a List. The resulting Compound and List Tags can be used as values in other Compound and List Tags, as deeply nested as you want. ==Usage== Tags appear to have no further functionality. They cannot be eaten or placed in the world, except in an item frame, as each other item can. However, Compound Tags with values like <code>{Enchantments:[{id:"minecraft:sharpness",lvl:127b}]}</code> will show the [[Enchanting|enchantment]] glint and actually act accordingly when used.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/129xdyl/i_figure_out_how_the_nbtcrafting_in_the_vote/</ref> This appears to work with many weapon and tool [[Enchanting#Summary of enchantments by item|enchantments]]. In theory, an extremely lucky <code>replace_recipe_output</code> vote can change the crafting recipe for compound tags to output something else. When cheats are enabled you can test this with a command like <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output approve {key:"minecraft:compound_tag",value:"minecraft:netherite_sword"}</code>. However, as long as this vote is approved no other compound tag can be crafted. Use <code>/vote rule minecraft:replace_recipe_output repeal *</code> to undo all recipe replacements. In combination with the <code>midas_touch</code> vote tag items can be converted into [[Gold Ingot|gold ingots]]. These retain their NBT data. When the world is loaded in another version of the game tag items disappear, but gold ingots persist. ==Trivia== *This implies that a [[Name Tag|name tag]] is 128 bit. *Compound and list tags are special in so far that the value they show in their [[tooltip]] is not merely a property of the item, but their ''actual'' [[NBT format|NBT data]]. This is also the reason why naming them is disabled as that would mess up the NBT data. *The snapshot also contains an [[History of textures/Unused textures|unused texture]] for an {{ItemLink|End Tag}}. ==History== {{History|java}} {{History||23w13a_or_b|[[File:Tag.png|32px]] Added tags.}} {{History|foot}} ==Gallery== <gallery> Tag.png|Tag Bit.png|Bit Byte Tag.png|Byte Tag Double Tag.png|Double Tag End Tag.png|End Tag Float Tag.png|Float Tag Int Tag.png|Int Tag Left Curly.png|Left Curly Left Square.png|Left Sqaure List Tag.png|List Tag Long Tag.png|Long Tag Name (23w13a or b).png|Name Right Curly.png|Right Curly Right Square.png|Right Square Short Tag.png|Short Tag Sssyntax Error.png|Sssyntax Error String Tag.png|String Tag </gallery> == References == {{reflist}} {{items}} {{jokes}} [[pt:Tag (item)]] [[Category:Joke items]]</li></ul>					Archaeology has been added.
