FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20 – 26.3

What it does

The mod reworks the Ancient City structures generated by the world generator. Main walls are made slimmer and taller, slim roads are added between parts, and the Deepslate Cobblestone ring structures are removed. Smaller versions of the existing city parts, several smaller houses, a second ice box structure and two amethyst box structures are also added, along with small road lanterns, alarm towers and three chests in the city center statue.

This standalone Splinter version works on its own and needs no other catalog mod. The mod is available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and as a data pack for server platforms. Its listed game versions span 1.20 – 26.3, with files for 23 release versions and snapshot builds published. Only the server needs the mod, so players can join without installing it. The code is not open source; the mod is All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Slimmer, taller walls

    The main walls of the city are made thinner and taller, changing the silhouette of each Ancient City.

  2. Overhauled loot tables

    Iron and gold ingots and nuggets are added, diamonds have a rare chance, and iron and diamond tools and armor can be found, not only hoes and pants.

  3. Rarer armor trims

    Armour trims appear less often relative to the number of chests across the whole city.

  4. Soul fire bonfires

    Soul fire bonfires are placed on the city pillars, and archaeology loot tables are added to the structure parts.
