Players can imagine and build anything they want in Minecraft, which is a sandbox video game. Over 140 million active players play it, making it one of the most popular games in the world. Its simple yet addictive gameplay contributes to the game’s popularity. Moreover, Minecraft has one of the biggest communities in the Video Game industry, and it offers endless possibilities. Minecraft’s lucrative in-game mechanics are the reason for its hype. The Minecraft Trails & Tales update improves these mechanics and introduces new content to the game.

Minecraft revolves around crafting and building. That’s kind of in the name. The never-ending list of things players can craft in-game is just huge. Almost every update to the game adds new crafting content in it. Furthermore, crafting offers endless possibilities that can prevent players from getting bored. The new Minecraft Trails & Tales update has added many things to the game, including mods, biomes, and, most importantly, archeology. These new additions are hyping up the players.

Especially the new Archelogy additions have players up in the clouds. Or actually under the ground, since the relics are usually buried, but you get the point. Furthermore, the devs at Mojang Studios have added a new item to aid players with archaeological exploration. It’s a special brush tool. Players can craft this item and use it to brush the relics found.

The Minecraft Trails & Tales update added archeology to the game. Players are excited to dig up treasures and explore relic sites. But to dig up treasures, you need a special brush tool. Below are the steps to craft the brush tool:

  • Head to the crafting table.
  • Insert one feather.
  • Insert one Copper ingot.
  • Insert one stick.
  • The game will prompt you with the ‘Brush tool’ in output.
  • Craft the Brush tool.

When you find suspicious sand or suspicious gravel blocks, you’ll need to use the brush. The Minecraft Trails & Tales update included two new block variations. Their ordinary counterparts have slightly smoother textures than these two blocks. Simply right-click on one of these blocks to use the brush. Your character will brush away the years of accumulated sediments slowly, revealing an item inside while an animation plays.

The brush is a really good addition to this game, which is important to get treasures. The new Trails & Tales update added loads of new stuff to the game, like new biome and mods like camels. Minecraft always loves it when the game’s endless possibilities increase further beyond the threshold. Crafting and using a brush is easy and pretty rewarding, so you should also craft your brush and go out to explore the terrain for treasures!
