Kelso's Scrambled Chunks
by Ke15o
Kelso's Scrambled Chunks reshuffles the blocks inside each chunk, so terrain looks like normal Minecraft while ores and most solid blocks turn up in unexpected places.
What it does
Every chunk gets its contents mixed up at the moment it is first generated. The shuffle moves most solid blocks, including ores, logs, stone and dirt, while the shape of caves, oceans and the overall terrain stays recognisable. Water, lava and air keep their places, so cave and ocean layouts still read as they should.
Structures are scrambled too, and the mod works in the Overworld, the Nether and the End. The mod is designed for a chaotic survival challenge that stays playable.
Fabric API is required. Players join without it, since only the server has to run the mod. Files are published for Fabric and 26.2 only, under the MIT License, and the project is not open source.
Key features
Scrambled chunks
Most solid blocks inside a chunk are shuffled at generation, so the same terrain shape holds different blocks.
Preserved cave and ocean shapes
Caves, oceans and the overall terrain outline are kept, so the world stays navigable.
Protected progression blocks
Bedrock, spawners and portal blocks are left in place, so players can still reach the Nether strongholds and the End.
Scrambled structures
Structures are shuffled along with the terrain, so their contents can appear in unexpected forms.
