Archaeology and trims: the 1.20 treasure loop

This version is all about finding things. Brushes dust suspicious sand and gravel to reveal pottery sherds, tools and sometimes a sniffer egg. You find those spots in desert wells, desert pyramids, warm ocean ruins and the new trail ruins.

Armour trims add a second hunt. Smithing templates sit in structure chests, and you copy them with diamonds and the right block. Trim an armour piece with a template and a material such as gold, copper or amethyst for a custom look.

• Craft a brush from a feather, copper ingot and stick.
• Mark trail ruins on the map, since they hold the rarest sherds.
• Carry spare brushes, because they wear out.

Look at the seed map for deserts, ocean ruins and trail ruins near spawn. A world with several of these inside a short walk keeps your first week busy with real discoveries.

Savanna camels and a dry-land start

Savannas spawn flat terrain with acacia trees, horses and llamas, and they host the villages where camels live. A camel carries two players and can dash across flat ground, which is great for long overland trips.

Use your first hour well:

• Chop acacia for planks and sticks, and look for oak or birch if you want other woods.
• Find a village and tame a camel with a saddle. Cactus is its favourite food.
• Look for cherry groves or bamboo jungles nearby, as the update added new wood types.

Savannas also tend to have flat building sites with good visibility, so a base is easy to place. The risk is that the ground can run dry of ponds, so bring a bucket and collect water as soon as you find any.

Check the full list for the world that mixes these elements with your favourite structure types.
