Abandoned Cabins
by MasterOWS
Abandoned Cabins generates derelict wooden cabins in forest biomes, and each cabin has randomized loot to find.
What it does
The mod adds forest biomes to world generation, covering flower forests, taigas and birch forests. Two kinds of cabin appear in these biomes: a regular abandoned cabin and a second, different cabin type. Each version of the mod includes seven randomized layouts, so cabins can differ in their rooms and furnishing.
Loot inside the cabins is randomized as well, so exploring one may turn up different items than another. A discovery advancement is granted when a player finds a cabin. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it, and it works alongside other mods. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for Forge and NeoForge across the 1.19.2 – 1.21.4 range, with the latest builds at 1.2 for 1.20.1 and 1.21.4.
