Similar to real life, Minecraft also exists Fossils. And of course, they are extremely rare materials and successful exploitation requires many factors.
The Minecraft world is filled with interesting secrets and treasures for players to discover. One of these items is Fossil – But where do they spawn and how likely are you to find them?
Overview of Fossils in Minecraft
Fossils in Minecraft are a rare resource and are mainly found underground. They can be used to craft unique items like diamond picks, saddles, and even spellbooks!
According to statistics collected from many sources, fossils have been discovered in more than 6 million different locations in the world of Minecraft. The first type of fossil is called a ‘fossil ore’ which can be mined with an iron pickaxe or better. It consists of four layers: sandstone, earth, gravel and coal ore.
Mining this block will yield a bone fragment. These pieces can then be combined together to form a single bone block, serving to craft some of the items above.
In addition to fossil ores, there are also naturally generated fossils that spawn near lava lakes in biomes such as deserts and swamps. These fossils drop various items when destroyed including bones, skulls, scales, claws, and even diamonds.
Rarity of Fossils
The chances of finding fossils depend on various factors such as the type of biome, altitude, and depth. But the general trend is to appear more often in desert and swamp biomes. In particular, according to research from DigMinecraft Fossils are very easy to appear at special depths, usually between layers 15-35.
Fossils have a uniform distribution across most biomes and elevations but some may be rarer than others. For example, you are more likely to find fossils in sandstone areas that have naturally eroded over time than in newly laid blocks.
In addition, layers below sea level have a higher chance of creating fossils because they contain deeper layers conducive to fossil formation.
