Griffin Burrows

Griffin Burrows are a feature that were added in the Community Center update. In order to see them, players must be holding an Ancestral Spade in the hand. To find them, players can use the "Echo" ability of the Ancestral Spade. The player can "dig up" these burrows by right clicking it with an Ancestral Spade and there is a chance to find a Mythological Creature, Coins, Ancient Claws, Griffin Feathers, or nothing. For each rarity level the player's Griffin Pet is, new creatures can spawn. Each Griffin Burrow comes in chains of four each; the first three always contain an arrow which points in the general direction to the next burrow. It seems like the burrows can spawn only on grass and dirt blocks.

If a mob is dug up, the burrow will need to be dug again in order to reveal the arrow pointing to the next burrow and get the chain going. However, if using the ability of the Ancestral Spade, the particles will point in the direction of the next burrow anyway.

Shovelling the first burrow instantly starts a treasure hunt. The treasure hunt consists of four steps, each listed below.


 * 1) An arrow pointing to the second burrow.
 * 2) Mob, any treasure from the table below, and an arrow pointing to the third burrow.
 * 3) Mob, any treasure from the table below, and an arrow pointing to the fourth burrow.
 * 4) Treasure consisting of one drop from the table below.

Coins dug up vary from 1,000 to 750,000 (highest known value).

An arrow pointing to the next burrow will have orange, yellow, or red particles around it. These hint at how far away the next burrow is. Orange particles mean the burrow is within ~0-120 (unsure, this number is between 112 and 130, please confirm) blocks. Yellow particles mean the burrow is within ~120-280 blocks(Confirm). Red particles mean the burrow is greater than 280 blocks away.

If the player is holding the ancestral spade the burrow will have one of 3 different particles effect surrounding it. The particles will either be blue, white or orange. Blue particles signify that the burrow is the 1st burrow in the chain of 4. White particles signify the 2nd or 3rd burrow in the chain and will spawn in a mob once they are dug up. Orange particles will always surround the 4th burrow in the chain, but can sometimes surround the 2nd or 3rd burrow too. These particles signify treasure (coins, griffin feathers or other items then can be dug up).
