What you’ll build
Become an archaeologist. You'll craft a brush, find a dig site like a desert well or old ruins, and spot the speckled suspicious sand or gravel. Brush it slowly until something pops out, then collect your finds and guess what they are.
Finish line: You brushed at least three suspicious blocks and can show what you found.
Bonus challenge: Make a decorated pot with pottery sherds you found (4 sherds or bricks in a diamond shape).
You’ll need
- Feather
- Copper ingot
- Stick

You choose

- What to do with your finds

Stuck?
- Never break suspicious blocks with a tool, or the treasure is lost. Brush only.
- Keep brushing without stopping until the item pops out.
- Creative inventory suspicious blocks are usually empty, so find real ones in ruins and wells.
