Experimental Features of Trails & Tales

- You can also use brick items instead of ceramic shards in the crafting recipe. Sides made from brick items will not have images;
- Smash a decorated pot with any block-breaking tool to break it and collect the ceramic shards! Or tap it with your fist to pick up the pot without breaking it.
Suspicious Sand
- Desert Temples and Desert Wells now contain Suspicious Sand. This fragile block is hard to spot and easy to destroy;
- If you can find the Suspicious Sand and brush it with your Brush, you'll unearth objects that have been buried for a long time.
Mob Sniffer

- They cannot be tested or tamed;
- They are passive, friendly mobs;
- The sniffer sniffs the air and occasionally digs for seeds.
Torchflower

- The seed can be used to create two Sniffers;
- It can be harvested and replanted, but it can also be used to make dye.
