Ancient City Renovation Project
by PNaClNH3
Ancient City Renovation Project changes the Ancient City structures generated in the Deep Dark by removing illager traces and restoring the ruins.
What it does
The project renovates Ancient City structures: dilapidated buildings are restored, and the traces left by illagers are cleared away. Sculk infestation is left as it is, so the deep-dark character of the site remains. Treasure chests are not added or removed, so loot stays as the world generates it. Servers need the mod, while players may add it on the client. It is published for Forge and NeoForge, with a data pack version also available, and builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11. The code is under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, so the project is not open source.
Key features

Illager traces removed
Traces left by illagers are cleared from the Ancient City, while sculk infestation stays in place.
Loot left unchanged
Treasure chests are neither added nor removed, so the chest placement from the world generator stays the same.
