Are you sure it is diamond and emerald blocks? it seems that would make it to easy to get good resources. Pls work on it. --Mitchsav (talk) 10:10, 21 April 2021 (UTC) Yes, in this video[1] and this part of this video,[2], it has been confirmed. --Jjs30000 03:23, 11 May 2021
Will archeology be in update 1.19?– Unsigned comment added by Zachbarbo (talk • contribs) at 12:34, 3 May 2021 (UTC). Sign comments with ~~~~
- Well it is currently unknown when it will be implemented, but it isn't going to be in 1.17 or 1.18. James Haydon (talk) 12:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
- Well it is going to be in 1.20, so this talk section is pretty much solved. --SeaGlowingPro (talk) 12:51, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
It should not exist, either it should redirect to Minecraft Live 2020, be deleted, or commented out. The page in this state cannot exist. Humiebeetalk contribs 15:59, 15 May 2021 (UTC)
- The Archaeology feature is currently implemented and available in 1.19.4-pre1, so deleting this page would be considered vandalism. Sorry. --SeaGlowingPro (talk) 12:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
Should this page be called Archaeology, or Archeology?

Not sure about this, but the weird thing is that this mechanic is either called "Archaeology" or "Archeology, which causes confusion, even in Mojang themselves. Can anyone resolve this confusion? --SeaGlowingPro (talk) 12:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
- I was also just about to come here and ask that. I believe it should be "Archeology" as that is American English, which this wiki uses. Mojang seems to use both variations, but since this wiki uses american english for words like meter, I think it would be best to do the same with archeology. 👁 Image

Support per MCW:SPELLING. I personally prefer "archaeology" myself (perhaps in part because I am not American nor do I normally use American English), but for consistency across this wiki, "archeology" makes the most sense. – ZacNVR (talk) 12:10, 13 March 2024 (UTC)- 👁 Image
Support It should be "Archeology" since per MCW:SPELLING, "Pages on this wiki should use American English unless the in-game name is British English." As far as I know, searching for instances of this term in the Bedrock files, there are no instances hence we should use the American English. -SmokeyStack (talk) 12:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Actually, I've just done a quick Google search, and it may not be so simple. "Archeology" is most common in the US (compared with other countries), but some Americans may still use "archaeology". What do the Americans think? – ZacNVR (talk) 12:24, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Some Americans may still use British English, does that mean we use the British English version? No in my opinion. We should use the proper Dictionary/Spelling instance not based on if a "few" Americans use the British Spelling -SmokeyStack (talk) 12:26, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- Problem is, even (online) American dictionaries have "archaeology" as the primary spelling, with "archeology" as an alternative, as far as I can tell. – ZacNVR (talk) 12:33, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Soft oppose since "archaeology" is valid US spelling already. As I said on Discord, I think it works better overall since it also caters to other forms of English. Yes, other forms of English are not the priority on the wiki, but if we can avoid using American-exclusive words/spellings and settle on words/spellings that are valid both in the US and internationally, that would be preferred. – ZacNVR (talk) 13:09, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Oppose. "Archaeology" is already standard American English. No need to change. ManyOursOfFun (talk) 13:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Strong oppose. Relevant paper on why there are two spellings. While "Archeology" is a common variant in the US, it is only a variant.[3] "Archaeology" is used in the US as well (and possibly even more common[4]), including by the Society for American Archaeology, the Archaeological Institute of America, and the Society for Historic Archaeology, the three largest organizations of archaeologists in the US, as well as other organizations. Even the US government doesn't use a consistent spelling: While many federal agencies use "Archeology" (with the National Park Service only accepting that spelling), most use them interchangeably and some (like the US Army Corps of Engineers) only use "Archaeology".[5] Due to this shared usage in the US in addition to the rest of the world using "Archaeology", I think the wiki should be using "Archaeology" exclusively with "Archeology" only being used as a redirect and mentioned once in the introduction text. -- 👁 Image

- I will only support using whichever spelling is used in-game (or, failing that, most commonly used by Mojang) should be the spelling that the wiki uses.Drour1234 (talk) 16:36, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
- I agree, the in-game spelling should ideally be used, but there is no mention in-game. Articles on Minecraft's website most often use "archeology", or so I'm told. – ZacNVR (talk) 22:58, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

why would you move the page to a misspelling of archaeology?
[edit source]i dont understand the suggestion when you open the archaeology page. archeology is a mispelling. can somebody clear this up? 168.216.72.189 14:53, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
- See the discussion above, this is what the header on the page is refering to. -- 👁 Image

I'm not sure how useful this would be but I've made a concept of a potential navbox for archaeology, though I think it warrants some discussion prior to being moved out of my user space. If any one is opposed to an archaeology navbox at the bottom of related pages, this would probably be the discussion for it. 👁 Image
