Triggering Dig Site Generation in Your World

Because this addition runs as a data pack, excavation camps only generate in chunks created while the pack is active in that specific world save. If you added the pack to an already started survival world, previously visited areas will not retroactively gain new structures.

Verifying the Pack Is Active

1. Load into your world and open the chat window.

2. Run the /datapack list command if cheats are enabled, or check the Data Packs menu from the world edit screen before loading.

3. Confirm the archeology pack appears in the enabled list rather than the available list. If it sits in the available list, run /datapack enable using the tab-completed pack name, then run /reload.

Generating Fresh Excavation Chunks

1. Check your coordinates or map to remember how far you have already traveled in every direction.

2. Cross beyond your explored borders into completely unvisited terrain so the game generates fresh chunks with the camp structures included.

3. Steer your expedition toward Deserts, Dark Forests, or Taigas, since these are the three biomes where dig sites spawn.

4. Raise your render distance slightly in Video Settings while scouting so large camp footprints become visible from farther away.
