UNEARTHED – An Archaeology Expansion Addon for Minecraft
Developed by Los
What is Unearthed?
Unearthed is an expansion addon for Minecraft that deepens and reimagines the archaeology system. It introduces new ancient mobs, powerful relics, forgotten biomes, and gear-rich ruins waiting to be uncovered. Every feature encourages exploration, excavation, and the restoration of long-lost power.
Wander deserts and mesas to find collapsed temples, decode mysterious artifacts, and piece together the forgotten past of Minecraft’s ancient world. If you enjoy uncovering secrets and earning rare rewards, this addon is for you.
⚠️ Note: This addon is still in active development and may not yet work on Realms or multiplayer servers. Player testing and feedback are welcome.
