How to Make Decorated Pots in Minecraft 1.20

Update 1.20 is all about archeology! Now it is possible to explore suspicious sands and with the new tool – a Brush Tool, find hidden treasures that include Pottery Shards. When you collect four Pottery Shards, you can combine them into a brand new Decorated Pot – which you can then place anywhere you like as a decoration, but in order to get there, follow the checklist below:

  1. Create the Brush by combining Feather, Copper Ignot, and a Stick (stack them on top of each other).
  2. Use Brush on the Suspicious Sand Blocks for a chance to get a Pottery Shard.
  3. Combine Pottery Shards x4 at the Crafting Table to create a Decorated pot (place them as in the image below).
