Newgrange - Ruins Structure ✅
by Structure
Newgrange - Ruins Structure adds a vanilla-friendly reproduction of Ireland's prehistoric passage tomb to Minecraft worlds, with a great circular mound and stone-lined chambers.
What it does
The structure recreates the Newgrange monument as a set of earth mounds, stone-carved passageways and hidden chambers that generate in the world. Its layout is aligned with the rising sun, so the site rewards players who explore it as an historical landmark rather than as a plain ruin. Structures appear across plains, river valleys and rolling landscapes, where the mounds stand out from the grass.
The mod is a world generation addition for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and it is built to sit alongside vanilla terrain without changing core game content. It is also available as a data pack. The server must run it, while players may skip installing it, and the environment means only the server strictly needs the files. Files cover 12 release versions, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Circular mound structure
A large grass-covered circular mound rises from the terrain, modeled on the passage tomb at Newgrange.

Stone carvings
Carved stone decorations line the passageways, adding the look of prehistoric markings to the site.
Exploration and secrets
Chambers hold treasures and puzzles, giving adventure maps and survival worlds a point of interest.

How it compares
Repurposed Structures - Better Ocean Monuments Compat Port is server-side only, released under the MIT License and published for 1.21.1, while Newgrange is not open source. Desert Ruins runs on both client and server for 1.20.1 – 1.21.11 under All rights reserved, so it needs installing on both sides, unlike this server-required mod.
