No More Mineshafts
by TYP
No More Mineshafts is a world generation mod that stops vanilla mineshafts from generating in new worlds and chunks.
What it does
The mod removes vanilla mineshaft generation, so new terrain no longer places them. The author built it after finding mineshafts that cluttered modded and vanilla worlds and sometimes collided with strongholds. The command that locates a structure still works for mineshafts, and the game does not freeze while searching; it returns a message when a structure is found.
Because it runs on the server, players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.19 – 1.21.3 across 14 release versions. The latest Fabric, Forge and NeoForge files are 0.2.0 for 1.21.3, and the latest Quilt file is 0.0.1 for 1.20.4. The mod is All rights reserved and not open source.

Use cases
Modpacks with many structures

Who it’s for: Server owners and modpack builders who do not want vanilla mineshafts in new terrain. Players only need the server-side install.
How it compares
No More Villages, No More Trail Ruins, No More Ocean Ruins, No More Copper Ore and No More Deepslate are removal mods for other structures and ores. No More Villages runs on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.18.2 – 1.21.4, and No More Trail Ruins covers 1.20 – 1.21.1.

What the author says
Tired of running into those boring but useless Mineshafts? No More Mineshafts solves the problem by removing the generation of mineshafts. Playing the various modpacks, I am always very annoyed by how much the mineshafts ruins the generation of all the other modded and non-modded structures. I often find some…
