Where to Find Brush in Minecraft

Brush can turn up across Desert (Desert Temples), Ocean (Ocean Ruins), and Taiga (Trail Ruins), so the search area spans more than one place depending on which method you use. Feathers drop from Chickens and Parrots, or can be found as fishing junk loot. Suspicious Sand appears in Desert Temples, Desert Wells, Ocean Ruins, and Trail Ruins. Brush does not spawn naturally in the world or generate in chests as standard loot — it is something you make at a Crafting Table, so the practical question is where to gather its ingredients rather than where to find the finished item.

The most reliable way to get Brush is to craft it at a Crafting Table from Feather, Copper Ingot, and Stick, because crafting is repeatable and does not depend on luck. Before you can craft it, gather the ingredients: Feather (kill chickens), Copper Ingot (smelt copper ore, abundant between Y 0 and Y 96), and Stick (crafted from two planks). Suspicious Gravel appears in Trail Ruins and Cold Ocean Ruins. Brushing these blocks reveals pottery sherds, armor trim templates, and other unique items. Remember that Brush does not stack, so each one you gather takes a full inventory slot — bring a chest or shulker box if you plan to collect several. Worth noting on the version side: Added in 1.20 (Trails & Tales Update).

Players hunting for Brush often look for Spyglass and Shears as well, since they share locations, recipes, or a progression path. For full stats and the crafting grid, the dedicated Brush item page has the complete breakdown.
