Mojang will soon be releasing the new Minecraft 1.20 Trails and Tales update. This latest installment of the popular sandbox game will include a range of additions, such as new items, blocks, mobs, biomes, and structures. These updates add many other in-game details besides new physical features.

First, you need to find either a desert temple, a desert well, train ruins, or ocean ruins in the new update. Only these structures will generate the new suspicious sand or gravel blocks. Remember that if you have discovered old structures, they will not generate the new blocks since the chunk was loaded in a previous game version.

Hence, you must travel far and wide to find these structures where the new blocks will be generated.

Additionally, you will need to craft the new brush tool to help you brush away the suspicious sand or gravel to reveal items. A brush can be crafted by combining a feather, a copper ingot, and a stick in a single row on the crafting table.


2) Locate a suspicious sand or gravel block

Once you find a desert temple, desert well, trail ruins, or ocean ruins, you can search for the suspicious blocks in and around them. Desert structures will contain suspicious sand with a few cracks in the block texture, while ruin structures will have suspicious gravel with the same cracked pattern.


3) Brushing the suspicious blocks to get the advancement

You need to be careful while finding these blocks since they can turn into normal sand or gravel blocks if they fall or are mined with the wrong tool.

Hence, only a brush tool should be used once they are found. The block will gradually reduce, and an item will start showing up. When you finish brushing the suspicious sand or gravel and obtain the item hidden in it, you will successfully achieve the "Respecting the remnants" advancement in the game.

The name of the advancement signifies that you, the player, are excavating the remains of an ancient civilization and are respecting it by collecting them.
