Ancient Discovery

by Azturax

Ancient Discovery places Ancient Debris in the Overworld, so a hidden find can turn up while players dig through stone.

What it does

Ancient Discovery is a NeoForge world generation mod for 26.1.2, published by Azturax. Ancient Debris appears in the Overworld, a block that normally only generates in the Nether, so players can stumble across it while exploring. Both client and server need the mod, and it is released under All rights reserved, which means it is not open source.

Key features

  1. Overworld Ancient Debris

    Ancient Debris generates in the Overworld, where it was previously only found in the Nether.

  2. Rarer, hidden finds

    The block is hidden among ordinary stone, so locating it feels like a discovery rather than a planned hunt.

  3. Netherite Templates

    Netherite Templates can also be found in the Overworld as part of the discovery system.

Ancient Discovery is all about stumbling across Ancient Debris in the Overworld, making the hunt feel a lot rarer and more exciting.
