Assorted Structures
Assorted Structures places ruins, spires, pyramids, fountains, snowballs, water domes, sandstone pillars and rune stones across the Overworld.
What it does
Tall ruin spires are scattered over most regions of the Overworld, while pyramids, sandstone pillars and desert fountains appear in deserts, swamps, snowy biomes and oceans. Snowballs and water domes add further landmarks to the terrain, and a number of structures hold runes that give an effect when a player stands on or uses one of the sixteen rune blocks.
With Assorted Treasure Mob installed, treasure mobs also spawn inside these structures. The mod needs Assorted Lib on either loader, and Fabric API on Fabric, so both must be installed before it will run.
Both the server and players need the mod to match. Files target 26.2 for Fabric and NeoForge, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only. Source code, an issue tracker and a wiki are linked from the project.

Use cases
Exploring a new world
Players who explore the Overworld find ruins and spires in most regions, which gives each trip a reason to head off the usual path.
Desert and swamp travel
Pyramids and fountains in deserts and swamps give expeditions fixed points to reach and search.
Who it’s for: Players who want more generated landmarks in the Overworld, and server owners who run worlds where generated structures are part of exploration.
