# Even Better Archeology<\/p>\n
*This mod is still in alpha stage, expect frequent updates and potential problems*
\n*If you notice something wrong just open a github issue and make sure you have the latest version.*<\/p>\n
The Archeology features introduced in 1.20 are a bit lacking.
\nThis adds a lot more features that the regular Archeology in minecraft.
\nThe following things are added:<\/p>\n
* More ruins
\n* lost enchantments
\n* better brushes
\n* fossils of prehistoric mobs<\/p>\n
This is a fork https:\/\/github.com\/Pandarix\/BetterArcheology updated with better integration in other mods and some QOL updates.<\/p>\n
## FAQ<\/p>\n
Q: Is this a drop in replacement for BetterArcheology<\/p>\n
A: No! You will have to get the stuff again. This is done on purpose to allow deeper changes and updates in the future. If possible I want to create an updater for the final release but it does not exist atm.<\/p>\n
Q: What are the advantages of using this over BetterArcheology<\/p>\n
A: The following things differ from BetterArcheology atm:<\/p>\n
* allow changing the configs at runtime using modmenu
\n* compatibility with the trinkets API (needed to use the soaring winds enchantment in an elytra slot)
\n* compatibility with numismatic overhaul
\n* compatibility with artifacts
\n* more (balanced) villager trades
\n* generating structures in mod biomes<\/p>\n
Q: Will this mod get a forge port?<\/p>\n
A: No! I don’t have time for that and am not interested in learning another API. In addition to that the dependencies I rely on don’t have a forge version either. Adding forge compatibility would need a whole new rewrite of the code.<\/p>\n
Q: Can I use this in my modpack?<\/p>\n
A: Do whatever you want with the mod. Its license allows basically anything as long as you don’t remove the License notice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
