Cinch's Lost Mob Grinders
by cinchtail
Cinch's Lost Mob Grinders adds three overworld structures, lost, abandoned and ruined versions of mob grinders, that generate as rare easter-egg finds in the world.
What it does
Each structure is a mob grinder left in a state of disrepair. The lost, abandoned and ruined variants differ in how worn they look, and the normal variant spawns under most overworld biomes, including badlands and lush biomes. The cave variant generates underground in jungles as well as in lush caves. Structures are rare by design, so finding one feels like a small discovery.
Inside, a grinder holds some basic loot. Players can also repair a structure back to a working grinder. The mod is built for compatibility with Cinch's Missing Blocks, and in worlds where both mods are installed, some lost mob grinders spawn with blocks from that mod. Server owners install it, and players connect with no copy of their own.
Files are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, for game versions 1.20 – 26.2, with 23 release versions in that range. The latest file is (UNIVERSAL)-1.21-26.2-1.1.0 for 26.2, dated 2026-08-12.
