Unsuspicious Block
by meteoritel
Unsuspicious Block lets players reveal the loot hidden inside suspicious blocks with a right-click, and records each archaeology discovery in the Archaeology Journal.
What it does
Suspicious blocks normally need brushing before their contents appear. With this mod, a right-click on a suspicious block reveals the item it contains at once. The Archaeology Journal then logs the find, so a player can look it up later without digging up the same block again.
The journal records loot probabilities, discovery locations and excavation experience, and it fills in entries as new items come out of brushes. Compatibility extends to suspicious blocks that other mods add, and the Jade mod can show scanned item information directly on the HUD. The mod is published for Fabric and NeoForge on 1.21.1 only, and it runs on client and server.
Key features
Instant reveal
A right-click on a suspicious block shows the item it holds without brushing it away.
Discovery journal
Every archaeology find is written to the Archaeology Journal, with its source and the loot it came from.
Loot probability records
The journal tracks the chance of each drop and the excavation experience gained from it.
Chests and fishing tracked
Loot from chests and fishing is logged alongside archaeology finds, so the journal covers more than dig sites.
Configurable loot log
A config option sets which loot tables are added to the journal, letting server owners decide what is recorded.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Surveying an archaeology dig
A player who opens many suspicious blocks in one area can check the journal for what each one held before deciding where to dig next.
Using Jade on suspicious blocks
With Jade installed, the item inside a suspicious block is shown on the HUD when the block is looked at.
Who it’s for: Players who want the contents of suspicious blocks visible without repeated brushing, and server owners who want a shared record of archaeology loot.
