Minecraft:Trail Ruins

Template:For Template:Infobox structure Template:Relevant tutorial Trail ruins are buried Minecraft:structures that work as archaeological sites where Minecraft:suspicious gravel generates. They are found in heavily Minecraft:forested Minecraft:biomes and resemble ruined Minecraft:villages from a lost culture.<ref name="feedback">Template:Cite</ref>

Generation

The Minecraft:biomes the trail ruins can be found in are the Minecraft:taiga, Minecraft:snowy taiga, Minecraft:old growth spruce taiga, Minecraft:old growth pine taiga, Minecraft:old growth birch forest, and the Minecraft:jungle.

Trail ruins are the only structures where Minecraft:mud bricks, Minecraft:packed mud, and Minecraft:blocks of coal naturally generate.

Structure

The trail ruins are structures that generate mostly underground with only the top of the tower above the ground. The ruins resemble small, ancient settlements. Each trail ruin has a main road made of Minecraft:cobblestone, Minecraft:stone, and Minecraft:stone bricks that connect multiple small buildings and a central tower made of Minecraft:stained terracotta and Minecraft:glazed terracotta, the tip of which is the only part of the structure that does not tend to generate underground. Adjacent to the tower generates two rooms and sometimes other small buildings and a decor made out of Minecraft:mud bricks and terracotta. Most of the structure is buried in Minecraft:gravel, Minecraft:dirt, and Minecraft:coarse dirt, as well as Minecraft:suspicious gravel, which may lead to the illusion that they are just a few misplaced blocks at first glance.

Trail ruins are completely solid; they don't have interior rooms.

Some blocks of suspicious gravel are generated floating. They fall and are destroyed if an adjacent block is updated.<ref>Template:Bug</ref>

File structure

All trail ruins structures found below are located in the folder Minecraft:client.jar/data/minecraft/structures/trail_ruinsTemplate:Only.

Loot

The loot in trail ruins can be found by brushing Minecraft:suspicious gravel randomly generated throughout the structure. There are two types of suspicious gravel, common and rare. Their loot tables are listed below.

Each structure piece (see the file structure list above for piece names) contains gravel and uses one of three Minecraft:processor lists to replace some of the gravel with other blocks, including suspicious gravel. All of the tower_top structure pieces and everything in the roads folder replace two gravel with two common suspicious gravel. The rest replace nine gravel with six common suspicious gravel and three rare suspicious gravel. Additionally, all of the processor lists (except for the one used for the tower_top) first replace 20% of the gravel with dirt, then 10% of the remaining gravel with coarse dirt, followed by common suspicious gravel, and finally rare suspicious gravel (if applicable). Thus, a structure piece—especially a decor structure piece—can generate less suspicious gravel than it should.

History

Trivia

• One of the decor rooms with two coal blocks and brick stairs is a reference to pot baking from the original archeology showcased in Minecraft Live 2020.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• One iteration of the trail ruins took the developers 16-20 hours over the course of a few weeks to design and build.<ref>Template:Tweet</ref>
• According to Mojang, trail ruins are "evidence of lost villager cultures – similar but distinct from the ones that exist today". <ref>Intrepid explorers recently began to uncover evidence of lost villager cultures – similar but distinct from the ones that exist today. All that remains of these civilizations are buried below the ground in heavily forested biomes, in what Mojang Studios’ archaeology team call “trail ruins”.[1]</ref>
