Cottages
by Spookly
Cottages places small handcrafted houses in forest and taiga biomes, and the Cottages mod adds several variants that match each surrounding biome.
What it does
Oak cottages generate in ordinary forests and other forested biomes, spruce cottages appear in taiga forests, and snowy cottages generate only in cold biomes. Each cottage is a small structure that gives an empty stretch of woodland a homestead feel, and it can hold a different interior from the others. The mod also adds side structures and some variants that depend on other mods, so a world with several installed gains more kinds of cottage.
Cottages needs a server, and players may add it on their client for the same content. Either way the mod is open source under the Apache License 2.0, with source code and an issue tracker on GitHub. Files are published for Fabric and NeoForge, and the latest file for each loader is 1.0.1 for 1.21.3. Game versions covered by files are 1.21, 1.21.1, 1.21.2 and 1.21.3.
Key features
Biome-matched cottages
Oak cottages fit ordinary forests, spruce cottages fit taiga, and snowy cottages appear only in cold biomes.
Varied interiors
Cottages come with different interiors, so two houses in the same forest do not look identical.
Extra side structures
Additional side structures attach to the cottages and add more features to explore around them.
Snowy additions
Snowy sides extend the cold-biome cottages with more snow-covered parts.
Mod-dependent cottages
Some cottage types appear only when other mods are present, which adds variety on modded worlds.
