The New Minecraft 1.20 Trail Ruins Are Amazing!

Hey how you doing Legends it’s me again today by popular requests we’ll be taking our very first Deep dive into Minecraft’s most intriguingly shaped structure yet we’re going to talk about how you find this thing right now what you can find inside of it and some other cool things that I’ve discovered like

Somebody else probably said before me there’s no better time than now science labs strap those goggles on and let’s do this logically speaking never want to check out Minecraft’s newest pixelated terracotta mess well we’ve gotta find it and if we want to find it it’s like six

Biomes right now if you’ve seen the videos lately you already know that Minecraft 1.20 is my biggest and deepest love ever I love everything about this update from going into biomes all over the whole world and updating structures to nice quality of life updates like the sign it’s amazing but the true beauty

With this one is found in the smallest details inside of the satay just like they’ve always done with every structure mob and other thing added to the game before this the devs have gone really silent when it comes to the story behind the structure but we do know that it’s

Old of course logically if it’s an old structure you find old structure inside of old biome other genius for this you’ll be able to find the trail runes generating in all of the old growth biomes the jungle and the Taiga and snowy tiger taking it all the way back

The very first glimpse of this trailer instructor that we got it was from the Bedrock preview changelog that actually added the structure here it is right here and it it kind of made it look like it would generate on the surface that would be very cool but logically it

Wouldn’t make sense if this structure generated sitting right up on the surface it wouldn’t look ancient at all instead it looked like something your five-year-old brother built in your world so inside of the biomes that this thing generates this is all we’re looking at the only hint that there’s a

Big 30 by 50 structure potentially below here is like the seven blocks seven blocks up on the surface I feel like this might need to change or there might need to be a different mechanic to actually find this thing because considering the jungle and even the tiger flying around like looking if I

Didn’t know that that was already a structure I would think it’s just random sand on the ground it’s gonna be hard to find hard to find and also a little bit hard to do I highly recommend when diving into this thing have a good shovel like my subscribe shovel right there have a

Good pickaxe or make it a little bit faster and of course the brush is the true key here excavation excavation you walk up to this thing you’re gonna find a lot of sand a lot of gravel and a lot of coarse dirt right now I really do wonder if they’ll eventually add

Suspicious dirt I feel like it’ll totally fit inside of this structure as you begin to ferociously tear away some of these blocks you’ve got to slow down and be careful there’s susp blocks all over from my discoveries not only can the trailer and structure be like 30

Blocks wide 50 blocks long sometimes but also it has like one of the biggest loot tables of any structure in the game without a single container all right now every single piece of loot that you’ll find inside of this ruined structure is going to be inside of the suspicious

Blocks the only other loot that you could potentially find here comes from completely defacing the stories of the past if you tear the structure down you’ll get a lot of terracotta mud Cobblestone and some other interesting blocks even some workstations too as I start to tear down this structure

And uncover it a little bit more it looks like we have something that’s like a almost like a perfect square in here that’s because this is the tip of the Tower from what I’ve seen so far it seems like almost every single Trail Rune structure will always begin or at

Least have somewhere inside of it some kind of big tower-like thing this Tower thing extends deep down into the ground oh don’t do that I don’t I wasn’t thinking I wouldn’t uh yep whoopsie my bad you dig it out from the top down you slowly use the brush from the top down

To find the amazing Treasures of the past the smithing Temple is one of the best things out of like 40 different loot items I would say about 10 of them are actually worth keeping for the most part you’re gonna get a lot of junk inside of this thing like beetroot hence

Why this old Society went extinct yes I made that joke before but I like it I will make it again it’s fun it’s cool I personally really like it yes there’s gonna be a lot of junk but also yes I mean look at the ancient societies what

Were they doing they were like praising literally clouds I don’t know and just because these things seemingly don’t hold any value to you it doesn’t mean they’re worthless junk perhaps in ancient times this was an all-knowing candle stop being so narcissistic now these dig sites so this is going to be a

Big job very very big long project if you want to check this out and try and find every single thing you could easily spend like 20 30 minutes digging one dig slide out and that’s not even talking about like fully uncovering it to the

Sky now as we begin to move a little bit farther down on the structure we’re gonna seemingly start to hit like a bottom a floor or something that’s probably not the case though you should keep going continuing your Journey to the Center of the Earth the bottom of

The structure seems to typically be made out of stone cracked stone bricks on stone bricks and Cobblestone once you see that you’re not quite done though now we need to find the trail what the structure is actually named after now that we’re down to the bottom of this

Thing finding the trail shouldn’t be too hard to find this thing we’re going to want to dig out in every direction looking for Cobblestone and stone brick on the floor sand will kind of give the trail away too it’ll generate on top of the trail the trail is significant

Because it can lead you to more buildings but but we’re getting ahead of ourselves the trail is really cool but the tower is pretty cool too it seems like almost always on this bottom layer of the tower it branches out into separate uh rooms if you will with more

Excavation stuff maybe I’m just not careful enough so I’m trying to rig it or something but I do feel like maybe if this block only follows one block hey maybe it shouldn’t break but if it falls like more than one then it should definitely break does that make it too

Easy is it cheating yeah good question we’ll ask President Taft oh wait what’s that President Taft you think they should leave a like on the video and answer it themselves ah all right well fair enough a good way to tell that you’ve hit the end of the structure this

Is to dig out a couple blocks into the wall and if all you’re seeing is Stone you you probably hit the end of the structure now this road this road is a really really interesting part like many roads do this road could lead us places or it couldn’t it just depends

It seems like again just like with the building if you dig out a couple blocks past the Sandy Stoney Road and there’s nothing well then there’s nothing take a look at my inventory it’s very crowded we’ve got tons of blocks that I got from taking the structure out but

Also some loot things like wheat seeds pots and a wooden hoe very interesting I have a hunch though this structure is in its infancy this is like the first version of the structure I think we’re gonna end up seeing some changes to this thing maybe new blocks added maybe new

Structures added who knows either way it’s an early version when it comes to the loot table of this very early version of the structure we kind of have it split into two separate boxes here but you could probably split it different ways too we have some loot

That has a 3.6 chance of popping out of those sus blocks and then we have other loot that gets a little bit better but also a little bit more rare 1.8 percent chance when it comes to valuable or useful gems ores you’ll be able to find inside of this thing Emerald is probably

The best one but you can also find coal and gold nuggets as well you’ve got five dies that are gonna be a little bit more common than some of the other things and candles as well the only tool that you can find here at least right now is a

Wooden hoe another things that are a little bit more rare are definitely a little bit more interesting interestingly we got a lot of glass panes in the structure and maybe it could be a fun idea to like uncover the structure take the glass panes and put them back inside of things that were

Probably windows before like that that’s probably a window maybe it’s like a red glass paint or something cool idea as you may remember the newest 1.20 snapshot made it so 20 shards are in this update inside of the structure you’ll be able to find the burn shark

The danger shark the French art the hard Shard the hard brake Shard the hobble Shard and the Sheep Shard that’s going to make all of these pots right here some interesting stories are being told here and this is an iron golem I learned that from the comments of the other video thanks

And so the shards are really really cool nice for decoration but maybe like the big thing here the big prize is going to be the whole star of a trim the shaper armor trim and the wave finder armor trip to jog that memory of yours wayfinder is gonna be this one with the

Waves on it it looks so good this one the old Sentry trim it’s called shaper you’ll find that here too and then host you’ll be able to find hosts generating here as well it seems like all of these trims are very like uh like a line of

Base if that makes sense you got like lines there you got like a line there that goes down and then you got waves I don’t know if that tells a story or if it’s like literally just pixel art but yeah right now that’s 13 different items in the 3.6 chance category and a

Total of 27 items in the 1.8 chance category add those together you got 40 different things that you could find inside of the structure and theoretically it does definitely seem possible that you could find one of everything inside of one of these structures there are definitely more

Than 40 suss sand and sus gravel blocks inside of this structure there’s gonna be a lot of course though that’s not necessarily always going to be the case you won’t always find every Shard at every structure you won’t always even find the armor trim you’re just gonna

Have to get a little bit lucky it’s all up to chance here I kind of think this is the turning point for Minecraft structures though for the very first time ever like literally ever you’re able to find structures with a lot of loot that have no containers at all

It’ll be interesting to see in like a couple years time if this concept is expanded to other structures like how about those abandoned Villages What If instead of chests you had diggable blocks brushable ones finding ourselves back over at our little excavation side from before we got a problem I’ve been Excavating all

Of this and actually this is a pretty small excavation site like from the looks of things this hallway seems to extend into nothing so there’s nothing really over there this seems to be the end of the building over here that’s gonna mean the only hope of having more

Buildings is gonna be over this way and I mean maybe there’s more to the structure this way but also from the top of the structure looking down over here and just kind of knowing how these things generate I don’t think so I think that’s just part of the Tower

My big Point here is Inventory management Space Storage this is where something like the bundle would come in handy big time you’d be able to take all of these small random things and condense them down into one spot like I mean look at this we went from all the

Way full a second ago to this right here the time is now the devs need to pull the trigger if the devs want us to keep all of this stuff and try to actually unlock these structures you need something like the bundle otherwise I feel like a lot of what’s gonna happen

Is people are gonna come to these structures find all of this absolute junk and say you know what never mind or even just drop it all in the trash this will cause ecological environmental and archaeological disasters this is not good well it looks like my luck for good

Things kind of ran out right after it’s time maybe yeah maybe one more good thing from this whole structure I got a lot of junk from this thing another thing that I feel like maybe we should consider adding to the game is being able to duplicate these shards right

There if we’re able to duplicate armor trim somehow why not be able to duplicate these shards somehow as well maybe we could imprint A Shard onto like clay or something and be able to duplicate it another interesting thing that I’ve realized while Excavating these structures is this is going to be

The only place in the entire game where you can find mud bricks naturally generating if you can’t stand the process of crafting mud just come ruin one of these sites mechanically excavations chef’s kiss it’s something completely different to do you can take a lot of time doing it I just think it’s

Just great is structure wise uh debatable I’ve seen a lot of people say they absolutely ate all these colors and the structures and honestly I love it I think it’s really cool I’m a big history boy I love this stuff it reminds me of the Terracotta Army that was discovered in China like

Fully painted and everything it’s awesome why does every structure have to be so Bland and plain looking the ocean ruins are gray and boring if you want that go to the ocean I like the color here and also the color helps us stand out big time on the surface now looking

At the shape of the structures here you can really see the trail inside the trail ruins here that’s the road that I was talking about there’s the starting Tower if you will as you can see it’s a little bit different than the one we were just at and then other buildings

Along this road right here that you could clear out you’ve got a building right there you got a building right there and you also have these things over here I like to call this a billboard advertising the game very clever and then this thing I I don’t

Know maybe this is like the Titanic or something right there you see it yeah there’s a stripe and a and a smokestack a blown smoke soda Titanic in total this is about 30 blocks wide and this is about 50 blocks long so that’s sizable now these structures are just like so

Many other in the game they generate differently every single time as you can see we have a tower right here but that Tower is completely different than that one right there and they don’t even get me started on the building that one’s like a rectangle thing and this is like

Uh I don’t even know what it is I don’t even know what it is it’s a conglomerate of terracotta all over the place moving into this thing of course we’ve got even more excavatable blocks tons of color terracotta and even more mud ripe for the stealing over on the other side of

The road we have the Titanic that has now since hidden Iceberg that’s an iceberg and it’s split in half oh no this is so sad and then a road that kind of just bleeds out as you can see here sometimes the road will have like a lot

Of sand in it but it’ll go down and there won’t really be anything eventually the road just ends also an interesting thing that you can see here is the road kind of slopes down so if you’re digging straight out in One Direction and only seeing Stone it might

Make sense to dig down a little bit as well it seems like the sand will always generate in the strain pattern on top of the Rope Trail ruined number one Trail ruin number two Trail ruin number three is way smaller and sometimes you can have a trail ruined that is essentially just

The tower this is essentially just the tower build is pretty much the same as what we were Excavating earlier on in the video we’ll start with this above the ground we could work our way down through the tower and eventually we’ll find these bigger rooms but diving even

Deeper into the structure inside of the game biles we’ll find that the trailer and structure is split up into four categories we’ve got buildings Decor roads and Tower taking it even farther one final time inside of each category we’re gonna find 10 or so different structures that all means we got a lot

Of variation here interestingly for the structure we have about 40 different loot items when it comes to individual structures inside of the structure we’ve got about 41 different structures it’ll be interesting to see if the devs take the community’s feedback on like being pretty intense on the color and decide

To backtrack or what I really hope they don’t though I think this all looks really nice together it’s crazy one thing though that I think the structure could benefit from a little bit more is those cracked pots that we talked about in this video that’d be really really

Cool and to maybe even a couple more interesting blocks too and all of those structure files we have one that is particularly interesting this is gonna be one of the rooms they can generate I think next to the tower as we can see here this one is composed of a whole lot

Of bricks inside of it we have all of these blocks that we would have to dig out some of them would be excavatable as we start to dig out some of these blocks though we we will find some interesting things in here not only do we have a

Smithing table and a cauldron but we’ve got a stone cutter it’s beautiful we also have a furnace and a blast furnace this is a very advanced this one I think is all about the lore here we got the furnaces right there it almost seems like lava could have gone right there

And then you have the iron bars or something and then right at the top of this thing the front you get this Moody purple terracotta we’ll call this structure the purple room and by far the purple room is the most interesting piece of this puzzle here this shows

That whatever ancient Society built this they were clearly like decently Advanced having all of the same workstations that the villagers have this while another interesting one that I’ve noticed is what about Razer what about Razer now look clearly I could have messed something up here maybe I did even but Razer well

Uh these are in the loot table right there razor maybe I missed it all right because because otherwise that’s literally impossible what are we in conclusion for today the trail ruins I think this is one of the most interesting structures ever what do you think is going on lore-wise with the

Structure here what do you think the story is here do you like the structure design like all the color terracotta and stuff or do you think it should change please emotionally dump all of your thoughts on these things down in the comments below as always if you find

Anything cool about these structures set it over to the subreddit eventually a 100 be making an everything series on this thing but but I think I’m gonna wait a little bit so until then check out the cherry blossom episode thanks for watching everybody hope you enjoyed I’ll see you tomorrow goodbye
