UnEarthed

Unearthed expands Minecraft’s archaeology system with new ancient mobs, relics, structures, and gear, rewarding exploration and restoration of lost civilizations.

Current Features

Ancient Mobs:

The Crusher
A prehistoric guardian that hatches from special eggs found in ancient ruins. It is peaceful until provoked, but when threatened, it uses its powerful tail to become a formidable defender of desert and mesa territories. Closely related to the Sniffer, the Crusher acts as its ancient protector.

Note: the Crusher isn't finished, new models and animations are to come as of now the crusher is basically the sniffer!

The Archaeologist

A wandering trader-like character who buys mysterious items for high prices. Whether he collects them for a museum or uses them for more questionable purposes remains unknown.

Ancient Relics

Relics are found in new structures, often in a dilapidated, grimy, and unusable state.

Players can restore these items to their original power or sell them to the Archaeologist for rewards.
Once repaired, relics may grant unique abilities or enhancements.

Weapons and Armor:

Artifacts like the Macuahuitl and the Ancient Mask offer special combat effects and gameplay advantages.

*Training dummy not included*

Structures:

Two new ancient structures are currently in development, each designed to blend into the natural terrain of specific biomes like deserts and mesas.

A Message from the Developer

I’m a solo developer who began this project out of a deep love for Minecraft. When I started, I had no coding experience—just a desire to bring a unique idea to life. If you’re excited by this concept and want to offer feedback, advice, or assistance, it would mean a lot.

Special thanks to Bolt and Buddies for their development guidance and inspiration.
Your support helps Unearthed continue to grow and improve.

Any tips or feedback are greatly appreciated and go a long way in helping me improve my addons.
