Digging Up Ancient Fragments and Buried Valuables

In addition to standard chest looting, the data pack embeds valuable resources and ancient fragments directly into the ancient city's terrain.

Preparing for Excavation

Excavating underground ruins requires extra precautions to avoid alerting the deep dark.

  • Bring Wool: Wool blocks are essential for muffling the sound of block breaking and walking.
  • Carry Sturdy Tools: Shovels and pickaxes are needed to clear the various floor materials throughout the city's ground.
  • Clear the Area: Before breaking blocks, ensure all nearby sensors are covered or muffled.

Excavating the City Ground

Valuable items do not require searching random caves; they are specifically located under the city surface.

1. Target Structural Floors: Focus your digging on the ground within compact houses, ruined rooms, and along paved pathways rather than exterior cave walls.

2. Dig Through Ground Layers: Remove the floor blocks to expose hidden items buried beneath the foundation.

3. Collect Fragments: Sift through excavated blocks to retrieve ancient fragments, ingots, and other buried valuables that are not found inside surface chests.
