Forest Ruins
Forest Ruins places ruins into forest biomes, and some of them hide secret chests with treasure inside.
What it does
Forest biomes gain many different ruin structures, so exploring a forest turns up numerous places to visit. Some ruins hide secret chests, and the mod calls these Hidden Treasures. The server and every player need the mod installed. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, across 12 release versions 1.17.1 – 26.3, and the code is not open source. Latest files target 26.3 for Fabric and NeoForge, and 1.20.1 for Forge.
Key features

Forest biome spawning
Ruins generate only in forest biomes, so the additions stay tied to that terrain.
