by TreeOfSelf

Panda Archaeology lets players recover loot that has already despawned, through fishing and archaeology, on Fabric servers.

FabricServer-side onlyCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen source1.21.4 – 26.3

What it does

Items that despawn from the world normally can be fished up or brushed up again. The chance of finding a despawned item is configurable, and the pool of items that can be recovered is set by the server owner, with up to 10 item types. The mod also shows where a recovered treasure came from, including the date it dropped and the player who dropped it. Only the server needs the mod, so players join without installing anything. Files are published for Fabric only, for 12 release versions 1.21.4 – 26.3, and the code is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source.

Key features

  1. Fishing recovers loot

    Fishing can bring up items that once despawned, with a chance the server owner can configure.

  2. Archaeology brushing

    Brushing archaeology sites can also yield despawned items drawn from the same configurable pool.

  3. Origin of treasures

    Each recovered item shows the date it dropped and the player who dropped it.
