Landmarks
by orlouge
Landmarks generates small natural features such as rock formations, clearings and ponds in the Overworld, so players can recognize a place by what it looks like.
What it does
The mod places procedurally generated features that are neither ubiquitous nor rare, and that add small-scale detail on top of existing terrain and biomes. Landmarks is server-side only, so players join without installing it. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 8 release versions, 1.20 – 26.2, and the source code is available, though the code is under All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Procedural rock formations
Rock formations, clearings and ponds are generated as the world loads, rather than placed by hand.
Overworld landmarks
The features add distinct local markers within large-scale terrain and biomes, so areas stand out while exploring.
Named by appearance
Places are recognized by their features instead of coordinates, which helps players remember where they are.
