Minestruct
by yomaipar
Minestruct, a Forge decoration mod by yomaipar, adds a set of new brick, stone, paint and chalcedony blocks, along with onyx blocks and a mob called Thriver.
What it does
Placeable blocks come in several families. The bricks group includes long, big, cobblestone, glazed, basalt, onyx and hardened dirt bricks. Dry dirt and hardened dirt are added as well, with hardened dirt generating only in badlands biomes. Chalk and dyed chalk are included, where default chalk generates in water-based biomes.
Newly added paintings cover sand, alien, foggy man and fisher motifs. Chalcedony and polished chalcedony blocks rarely replace calcite in underwater biomes. Onyx pieces generate two blocks below the water surface and drop one to five onyx when broken with a silk-touch-free pickaxe, and onyx block, polished onyx, smooth deepslate and smooth amethyst blocks extend the set.
In soul sand valleys, a Thriver mob appears, and when one stands close to a soul sand block it calls a strider over. The mod runs on Forge for 1.17.1 and 1.18.2, and the 0.8 file for 1.18.2 was the latest release, published 2022-06-19.
