What it does

Structures generate naturally in the plains biome. Each complex combines sweeping curved eaves, tiered pagodas, torii gates, stone lanterns and koi ponds, with manicured zen gardens laid out around them. Handcrafted wooden joinery and decorative blocks are built to match vanilla textures, so the sites sit comfortably beside existing villages and landscapes.

Hidden meditation chambers and secret passages reward players who explore the complexes. Several structure sizes are offered, so a site can serve as a small shrine or a larger landmark on a survival world, an adventure map or a multiplayer server. Placement of ponds, stone paths and lanterns is intended to make each temple feel deliberate.

The mod is server required and client optional: the server must run it, while players may leave it out and still join. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Builds cover Minecraft 1.21 – 26.1 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available.

How it compares

Full comparison

Varied Temples is server-side and client optional under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, is not open source, and is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 1.21 – 26.3. Giant Torii is client and server, licensed as All rights reserved, and covers 1.20.1 – 26.2 for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, so it adds a single torii gate rather than a full complex.
