Description

Another little datapack that remakes most archeology loot tables. I recently went through 2 trail ruins and realised how little and basic the loot was. Alot of the loot gotten from these ruins was either useless garbage like a wooden hoe or randomly colored piece of glass, or the same music disc for the 3rd time. I noticed almost all "good loot" from these places were all cosmetic, which I don't got a problem with but it can feel kinda like a waste of time. So I made a little datapack to change some loot tables.

That's about it, use it if ya want. If i ever learn or have the time too, I'd like to add my own little ruins based around archaeology. But I don't know how to make structures for now, so im just throwing cool ruin/structure ideas below. but thats about it have fun!

cool archaeology related structure ideas (just ideas)
  • Like a desert underground ruin system
  • Little ruins in plains biomes
  • Ritual-like ruins in deepdarks with good loot if your careful about the sensors and shriekers
  • maybe a badlands temple focused on pots and archeology if you can avoid the traps
  • Collapsed rooms underground
  • jungle bunkers with cave spiders
  • dark and pale forest abandoned outposts
  • Netherprisons with cool loot but dangerous wither skeletons and silverfish
  • Soulsand valley ruined statues and chambers with enchanted books.
  • abanonded fox inns or huts in taigas with neat emeralds.
  • Maybe underground gravesites or mausoleams in dark oak biomes. With like a skeleton trial spawner maybe and stuff.
  • Ruins trapped in ice in icespike and glacier biomes. Like huts or little boats in ice.
  • Ruins covered in snow that kinda look like those burial things from skyrim with a chamber and a spooky skeleton inside but nice loot.
  • Monoliths in cherry groves that extend deeper and have suspicious gravel deeper underground.?, maybe im stretching a bit.
  • structures inspired by minecraft legends, prismarine towers with a kinda guide for how to make a conduit and maybe some loot. Also some pots for more hints incase the player doesn't know what a conduit is.
  • Maybe, maybe, new rooms for already existing structures with new archaeolgy oppurtunitys and pots like in ancient cities and mineshafts. But i know like the dungeons and taverns remakes already kinda do this so i probably wont do this.
  • But don't get your hopes up since im a lazy bum.
