ArchaeologyChaos
by FimeFire
ArchaeologyChaos turns vanilla archaeology into a brushing minigame with custom screens, dynamic themes and rewards for each block found.
What it does
Brushing a dig site is replaced by an interactive routine: the brush is used with the left mouse button on soft sand or gravel, and the pickaxe with the right mouse button breaks hard sandstone or cobblestone. Finds are rewarded per single block, and several finds can be made in one dig. Fabric API is required on Fabric. The mod runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it, and it is published for Fabric and NeoForge for 1.21.1, with the latest 26.2 builds listed beside it.
Key features
Interactive brushing
The brush uncovers soft sand and gravel with the left mouse button, while the pickaxe breaks hard blocks on the right button.
Custom dig screens
The excavation uses its own interface, so progress and finds are shown outside the vanilla archaeology flow.
Per-block rewards
Each block worked on can yield a reward, and a single dig can turn up several finds.

What the author says
ArchaeologyChaos overhauls vanilla's boring archaeology system, turning it into an interactive minigame where you can find multiple rewards from a single block! To excavate: use your Brush (LMB) for soft Sand/Gravel, and your Pickaxe (RMB) to break hard Sandstone/Cobblestone.
