Structures

This update buries two new things in the world to find: meteor craters full of Amber and fossil digs built around giant bones.

Inside

Amber, bones and Chorus Fossils

Both editions generate them in chunks you have not explored yet. Java spreads them out on a grid; Bedrock rolls a chance in every new chunk.

Meteor craters

Craters punch a scorched dent into the ground with Amber Ore to mine. On Java they come in a small and a large size. The large ones are rarer and keep their distance from the small ones, so you will not find two overlapping. They appear in any Overground biome, spaced roughly 36 chunks apart. Bedrock has one size and puts a crater in about 5% of new Overworld chunks, with sandy craters in Deserts.

Fossil digs

Fossil digs are ribcages of a long-dead giant, half buried in the sand. On both editions they sit in Deserts and Badlands and tie into the Amber theme, so they are another place to look for Amber.

Piglin Cage Camp

In the Nether’s Crimson Forests the Piglins build a camp around a caged Obsidiceratops and their hoarded Amber. They keep the beast to unearth more. On Bedrock about 4% of new Crimson Forest chunks hold one, set down on the forest floor. Fight past the Piglin Herders that guard it and break the cage: the freed Obsidiceratops then tames like any wild one, and the camp’s Amber is yours.

Dino structures

These are not new, but they live here too. On Java the Lushsaur, Therimoss and Obsidiceratops each come with a small structure, so exploring fresh chunks is how you meet them. Their dens, groves and sites are listed on each dino’s page.
