by joshieman

FabricForgeQuiltServer required, client optionalAll rights reserved1.20.1 – 1.20.4

What it does

Monoliths generate in the world using the vanilla mountain tag, so players find them while exploring high terrain. Each monolith grants blessings or curses that depend on the phase of the moon, with light blue tones marking the waxing and waning phases and a deeper blue marking the quarters. Configuration of world generation follows the biome modification of vanilla tags.

Installing the mod on a server is enough for players to encounter its structures and effects, since the server is the side that needs it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also offered. Builds cover 1.20.1 – 1.20.4, and the latest file targets 1.20.4. The code is not open source and is released under All rights reserved.

Key features

  1. Lunar phase effects

    Buffs and debuffs change with the phase of the moon, so the same monolith behaves differently across a game night.

  2. Blessings and curses

    Each monolith can bestow a blessing or a curse on the player who approaches it.

  3. Mountain structures

    Monoliths generate on mountains using the vanilla mountain tag, adding new landmarks to high terrain.
