Brush

In Minecraft, the brush is an archaeology tool used to excavate suspicious sand and gravel blocks, revealing hidden items within. It can also be used on armadillos to obtain armadillo scutes. The brush itself is not obtainable through chests or mob drops, but is crafted using 1 feather, 1 copper ingot, and 1 stick. When using the brush, players must equip it and right-click on suspicious sand or gravel blocks, continuing until the hidden item is fully excavated. If brushing is interrupted, the block will slowly revert to its original state. The brush has durability that is consumed with each use, but can be repaired by combining it with another brush at an anvil. Enchantments, such as unbreaking and mending, can be applied to the brush. In addition to excavating suspicious blocks, the brush can also be used on armadillos to obtain scutes, though this depletes more of the brush's durability. Overall, the brush is a vital tool in Minecraft's archaeology system, aiding players in discovering hidden artifacts and collecting resources.
