Uncover who woke the Incursions and how to end them. Explore, fuse and restore relics — seize their power to command the Incursions."

HOW TO START?

FINDING RELICS

Relics sleep beneath the earth. Find them two ways:

• Seek Archaeologist Houses across the world.

• Or dig veins of Ash, Mud and Bronze Deposits:

Sweep a deposit with the fine brush to gather Sediment.
Craft the brush — 3 String, a Brush.

THE SIEVE AND RESTORE!

Pour your Sediment into the Sieve and shake it through.

It yields Splinters:
shards of lost
relics.

NOW IS TIME TO RESTORE!

First craft a chisel... A BRONZE CHISEL!

Next craft te restorer

And start!

You'll need a broken piece and the necessary splinter to make it work! And obviously the chisel!

You can find broken pieces in archeologyHouses!

You can find the recipes in the mod book that minecraft will give you when you create a world!

Each item has its own special and powerful function, discover it!
