Conquest:Architects
by Smaug
Architects, from the author Smaug, adds structural blocks for building realistic constructions on top of Conquest Reforged for 1.20.1.
What it does
Builders get a wider set of structural blocks. The mod currently includes wooden beam blocks and new 3D roof blocks, while stone and metal structural blocks are described as planned for later releases. With these pieces, players can construct more lifelike and detailed buildings, and the author names cranes, catapults, trebuchets and windmills as examples of what the blocks make possible.
The mod depends on Conquest Reforged, which it extends as an add-on. Builds are published for Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1, with the latest Fabric file dated 2026-08-20 and the latest Forge file dated 2026-08-23. Architects runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. The code is not open source: it is released under All rights reserved.
Survival mode is not yet supported. According to the author, the mod works only in creative mode for now, and survival support may arrive in a future update.
