by Hoponopono

FabricForgeNeoForgeServer required, client optionalGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later1.18.2 – 26.3

What it does

Vanilla mineshafts are left unchanged. The mod adds new mineshaft variants that generate underground and are themed around rooms that differ from one type to the next. Some types carry more ores than others, and a few include mobs. Server owners install it on the server, and a client can join without it.

Installation requires a server running Fabric, Forge or NeoForge, and the mod is also available as a data pack. Files cover 1.18.2 – 26.3, and the latest build for 26.3 was published on 2026-09-29. It is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later and is not open source.

Key features

  1. Fifteen mineshaft types

    The mod adds fifteen new mineshaft types that generate alongside the vanilla ones in deepslate layers.

  2. Themed rooms

    Many of the new mineshafts contain themed rooms, so the layout changes from one area to another.

  3. Varied ores and mobs

    Some types hold more ores than others, and a few include mobs, which adds a new underground challenge.

What the author says

💎 Mineshafts have been improved with this pack, there is more to see, enjoy! ✨ Vanilla Mineshafts are fine, that's why i didn't touch them, instead, i added brand new mineshafts types, go explore in deepslate layers and be prepared to a new underground challenge.
