Better Watchtowers
by rogerzao
Better Watchtowers adds two watchtower structures to Forge worlds for 1.20.1, Forest Watchtower and Abandoned Watchtower, that generate in the taiga biome.
What it does
Both structures are vanilla friendly and place themselves among the existing terrain, giving a world more places to explore. Each watchtower holds loot in its chests. Because the structures generate at varying distances from one another, a player can come across them at different points of a journey. The author describes the loot as still being improved and the mod as still in testing, and it was built for the Winter Survival modpack. Client and server both need the mod, and it is published for Forge 1.20.1 under All rights reserved.
