About this project

What does Even Better Archeology add?

Even Better Archeology

This mod is still in alpha stage, expect frequent updates and potential problems
If you notice something wrong just open a github issue and make sure you have the latest version.

The Archeology features introduced in 1.20 are a bit lacking.
This adds a lot more features that the regular Archeology in minecraft.
The following things are added:

  • More ruins
  • lost enchantments
  • better brushes
  • fossils of prehistoric mobs

This is a fork https://github.com/Pandarix/BetterArcheology updated with better integration in other mods and some QOL updates.

FAQ

Q: Is this a drop in replacement for BetterArcheology

A: No! You will have to get the stuff again. This is done on purpose to allow deeper changes and updates in the future. If possible I want to create an updater for the final release but it does not exist atm.

Q: What are the advantages of using this over BetterArcheology

A: The following things differ from BetterArcheology atm:

  • allow changing the configs at runtime using modmenu
  • compatibility with the trinkets API (needed to use the soaring winds enchantment in an elytra slot)
  • compatibility with numismatic overhaul
  • compatibility with artifacts
  • more (balanced) villager trades
  • generating structures in mod biomes

Q: Will this mod get a forge port?

A: No! I don't have time for that and am not interested in learning another API. In addition to that the dependencies I rely on don't have a forge version either. Adding forge compatibility would need a whole new rewrite of the code.

Q: Can I use this in my modpack?

A: Do whatever you want with the mod. Its license allows basically anything as long as you don't remove the License notice.
