More Brushes Mod (1.21.7, 1.20.1) enhances Minecraft’s archaeology system by introducing tool-tiered brushes, giving the brush the same progression and variety as traditional tools like pickaxes and axes. In vanilla Minecraft, the brush is a one-tier item, which limits its utility and thematic integration with the rest of your gear. This mod solves that by adding brushes made from copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite.
These new brushes don’t just offer visual variety they can also be balanced for durability, efficiency, or modpack integration. Whether you’re exploring desert ruins or digging up pottery shards in suspicious gravel, you’ll now be able to do so in style, using a brush that matches the rest of your kit.
This mod fits perfectly into adventure, survival, or RPG-style modpacks and enriches the archaeology gameplay loop introduced in Minecraft 1.20.
Features:
- Adds Brush Tiers: Craft brushes using copper, iron, golden, diamond, and netherite, just like other Minecraft tools.
- Improved Tool Integration: Makes the brush feel like a natural part of your gear progression instead of a standalone item.
- 5 New Brushes: Each tier corresponds to Minecraft’s standard material hierarchy.
- Durability and Functionality: Tiers may vary in durability and brushing speed (depending on mod settings or datapack balancing).
- Perfect for Modpacks: Adds depth to archaeology gameplay and fits seamlessly into tech, magic, or vanilla+ packs.
- Supports Multiple Loaders: Available for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.

Why Use More Brushes Mod?
The archaeology system added in Minecraft 1.20 brought a fresh mechanic to the game but the brush tool was flat in design. Unlike swords or shovels, it had no progression, no upgrades, and no visual variety.
More Brushes Mod fills that gap by bringing familiar tool-tier progression to brushes. Now, your netherite-wearing explorer can finally ditch that basic brush and wield a premium tool fitting their status.
Ideal for:
- Adventure builders wanting immersive loot tools
- Modpack creators looking to balance brush progression
- Survival explorers who want long-lasting, efficient brushes
- RPG servers where gear variety matters
- Anyone who loves cosmetic and functional depth
FAQs
How do I craft the new brush tiers?
Each brush can be crafted similarly to the vanilla brush but using the appropriate material (copper, iron, etc.). Recipes vary slightly depending on the modpack or config used.
Do higher-tier brushes work faster or last longer?
Yes. Most tiers will have increased durability and may have different brushing speeds, depending on the mod’s settings or datapack integration.
Does this mod override the default brush?
No. The vanilla brush remains in the game. This mod adds additional brush variants rather than replacing the original one.
Can I use this mod in modpacks?
Absolutely. It’s designed with modpack compatibility in mind and works with Fabric, Forge, NeoForge, and Quilt.
Is it compatible with other archaeology mods?
Generally yes. As long as the other mod doesn’t drastically change the brush mechanic, More Brushes should work alongside it.
