Actually there are a lot of written and oral records of ancient civilizations that used tons of brightly colored material for decoration, design, etc. We just think of it all being muted and bland because that’s what time and the sun does to things: it washes them out and they get dirty. So finding these brightly colored blocks makes sense in Minecraft where only copper changes via oxidation over time.

Then there is a way to recreate the map which would help locate other types of sites to go robbing... I mean exploring and doing archeology searching.

Love these structures! Can’t wait for the update!

Fun fact: If you want to brush every possible block you actually have to dig out the ruins all from the top. Because if you dig out the main room and then from their dig in direction of the trails on the bottom, it can happen that you destroy the suspicious gravel blocks, because you make them fall.

Super excited to try these out and can't wait to hear what they say the lore is !!!!! Also love the change on finding some building blocks now more often then just in certain biomes again like terracotta either a Mesa or you need collect clay this addition of the trail ruins helps out allot when you cant find a Mesa and or don't have allot of clay to spare for a build :) and the colors omg give me Mayan and Aztec vibes. I honestly want to excavate one of these and make my base in it!!!!!

Using tool of stone will be much more useful in these sites, that way I can reduce the risk of breaking the sands with the loot.

I found an exposed trail ruins while experimenting. So i went into survival with an shovel, pickaxe and brush and excavated the whole thing. It was really fun and the thing looked great.

We need to be able to put efficiency on brushes with an anvil. probably really helpful when clearing a trail ruin.

What did they keep in their homes for everyday use? Archaeologists call that "material culture" and it's my favorite part of history.

It's probably not big enough to have been an actual city, but I think it might have been some sort of general store, or place where travelers on the road would be able to rest. This makes sense, because the structure where the job blocks were would have probably been where craftsmen made stock for the store, the tower could have been an inn, and, going off of what another comment on this video said about armor trims reperesenting professions, then it would make sense that, if it is a general store or inn, all types of people would be there.

what would be REALLY cool, is if there were some kind of villager workstations that you could only find in this structure (maybe in the purple room) for some new villager variants

I think ancient cities are a great addition lore-wise, even thinking of how.

It’d be cool if you could find signs with the enchantment table language on it around the structure or something

Anyone else think that the new structure looks like a ruined town street with colourful walls on the houses lining it?

I had pretty much this exact same experience and same thoughts yesterday. Excavating surprisingly fun, structures interesting, junk needs bundles, sus blocks breaking by falling one block annoying (I had a sus sand that was floating so broke when the block next to it went). This makes archaeology an actual worthwhile feature and not just meh

It would be nice if the cartographer villager gets a new trade with maps to these structures. At least on bedrock they seem to also appear above ground, but in small ravines or exposed caves. Personally I like the colorful buildings ( remains rather), and if you take the time to restore them as best you can by the clues, it starts making more sense. The tower is pretty easy to restore (and IMO looks rather good in restored condition), but the other buildings need some imagination. It looks like the random blocks are parts of roofs and walks that collapsed. I also suspect that entire parts of the buildings have dropped down a block from where they should have been. I love the clues and speculation as to what happened (earthquake, flood, volcano eruption?) that caused the structures to collapse and fill with sand dirt and gravel. The colors gives me sn impression that the civilization was rich and thriving, and the workstations that were also shown in the video tells it was quite advanced. Seems to me it whould have been quite peaceful and based on farming as well, as no weapons or types of armor are found in the loot table. Not sure how the armor troms fit into that line of thought though.

@wattlesplays, what video editing software do you use? I am starting a Minecraft Let's Play series, and am looking for a good vid editor program. Thanks!!

I want a base from you here in your next world, where you discover, uncover, and rebuild in your style.

My father was an actual archaeologist (God rest his soul) I went on excavation trips with him. It's pretty accurate you'll find a lot of junk. What junk that is depends on the time of the excavation site. Like pottery shards from an ancient rubbish pit or where they discarded their bones after eating. If you're unlucky, their latrine. Or 150 year old buttons, broken bottles and where they tossed their crappy old candlestick. Then 5% of the time you find something REALLY GOOD.

The trail ruins are so interesting! I like to believe that the ruins used to be outposts/rest stops for wandering villagers. The pottery and armor templates make me believe they were some kind of trading posts with artisans, and with the more advanced stuff they had, because it was such high traffic foot areas, a lot of these posts got to be more technologically advanced than villages of the time. Though I have an another theory based on the armor templates. I think the armor templates point to the thought of different clans based on the design patterns of the armor. These patterns told about where someone with that armor was from, or their specialty perhaps? Like how the military has different branches, the armor has different styles to signify the different branch someone specialized in like the wave for ocean, etc. If that’s true then that would mean that the trail ruins might really have been outposts/rest stops, since where they’re located are in far out places that look like they might be where patrols would go. Those are my theories at any rate.

If we run with the idea of trail ruins being ancient villages, I think that putting sus blocks in abandoned villages might not make as much sense. It’s my understanding that abandoned villages were overrun by mobs and no longer have villagers, but the chests make sense because that’s how villagers “store” their items, and if they were killed by mobs they wouldn’t have removed their stuff. Trail ruins (if they are old villages) would not have chest because they either didn’t have the technology, or they have rotted away and turned into dirt, leaving items to be preserved in sand or gravel (and hopefully soon dirt). anyway, that’s my take on it :)
