qrafty's Underground Villages

by qrafty

With qrafty's Underground Villages installed on a server, villages generate deep below the surface, including under ocean floors and beneath mountains.

What it does

The mod adds two variants of underground villages that generate randomly in the world, each with custom loot tables. Its 30-plus custom-built structures can spawn together, so exploring a buried settlement is meant to be worth the trip. Vanilla terrain and villages stay as they are, and the structures are placed deep enough that players tend to find them only by searching.

The mod is available as a Forge, Fabric, NeoForge and Quilt mod, and as a data pack for server platforms. Because only the server needs it, players can join a multiplayer server that runs it without installing anything. The license is Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial 4.0, so the mod is not open source. Nine release versions are published, and the latest file, 5.0+mod for 26.2, was released on 2026-08-28.

Key features

  1. Two underground village variants

    Two variants generate randomly in the world, with different layouts and loot tables for each.

  2. Deep placement

    Structures spawn far below mountains and under ocean floors, so they are hidden from casual exploration.

  3. Custom loot tables

    Crafted loot tables are attached to the structures, giving each visit a reason to search them.

  4. Infested Deep Villages

    An infested variant adds a more hostile version of the underground settlement for players who want a harder find.
