Ancient Puzzles
by Barribob
Ancient Puzzles, a Fabric world generation mod for 1.18.2, adds ruins that contain interactive puzzles for players to solve while exploring.
What it does
The mod places ruin structures in the world, and each one holds a puzzle the player works through by interacting with its blocks. Its stated aim is to give exploration more to do by adding structures that carry puzzles, and more structures and puzzles are planned for later builds. It runs on client and server, so both the server and each player need it. Files exist only for Fabric and only for 1.18.2, with 0.2 as the latest file, released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and the source code is open source.
Required dependencies are Cardinal Components API, Fabric API and Fabric Language Kotlin, which must all be installed alongside Ancient Puzzles.
