Brushing back in time!

Brushing back in time adds archaeological content to Fabric worlds. An Archaeology Table, which players craft from planks and a brush book, turns villagers into archaeologists. Sand and gravel blocks such as Soaked Sand, Hardened Soaked Sand and Petrified Gravel are made by using water bottles or a pointed dripstone, and a cracker brush reveals items from the hardened blocks. Several of these blocks generate deep in cold, lukewarm and regular deep oceans, so exploring them takes some effort.

Among the items, Treasured Sand yields gold nuggets and sand when right-clicked, and Sand Dust blinds entities that it hits for ten seconds. The Time Controller, crafted from gold blocks, rusty clockwork gears and a Chronos Shard, can freeze and unfreeze time. Villagers in the mod's archaeology profession sell items, but they do not spawn naturally. The mod is designed for adventure players and worlds that use custom generation.

Fabric is the only loader listed, with files for 1.21.8 and 26.1.2. Servers that run it need every player to install it too. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, and the author publishes an issue tracker.
