Frequently asked questions

What biomes do the archeology dig sites spawn in?
The excavation camps generate in three specific biomes: deserts, taigas, and dark forests. Each of these biomes has its own distinct camp layout designed to fit the surrounding terrain.
Why are no dig sites spawning in my existing world?
Structures only generate in brand-new chunks, so you need to travel to unexplored desert, taiga, or dark forest areas that you have never loaded before. You can also run /datapack list in chat to make sure the pack is actually enabled for that specific world save.
How to spot desert dig sites easily?
Desert excavation areas are built to blend right into the surrounding sand, making them easy to walk past during the day. Searching at night makes them much easier to find because the lit campfires stand out clearly beside the fences and tents.
Best way to find dark forest archeology camps
Dark forest camps spawn deep inside the biome where thick tree canopies block your view from above. Instead of scouting from high ground or flying over the treetops, walk underneath the canopy and watch for campfire light and tent structures.
