Progressive No Structures
by roselia.dev
Progressive No Structures lets players advance through a world whose generated structures are switched off, using a lightweight datapack that moves a set of structure loot and mobs into other sources.
What it does
The datapack lets some items still appear in Simple Dungeon chests when structure generation is turned off, and it lets certain mobs that normally belong to structures appear in other biomes. With the datapack installed, the game can be completed and most blocks and items can be collected in a world without generated structures.
Armor trim smithing templates, a Music Disc, Music Disc Fragment, Copper Golem and Broken Elytra are among the drops and rewards the datapack assigns to mobs and chests. The server runs the datapack, while clients need nothing extra to join.
The mod is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, plus as a data pack for servers. Builds cover 1.21 – 1.21.11 across 12 release versions, and the Apache License 2.0 applies to the code, which is not open source.
