by Warfre

What it does

Ruins and Towers brings back ruins from an older past and adds structures that fill gaps Minecraft leaves. Each structure is built as a near copy of a real site: a tower with four decorations at its corners and two traps below, a storage room whose barrels hold the loot, and a central decoration that sometimes contains iron or copper. Mining downward inside the ruins reveals ores such as diamonds, redstone and gold, along with a large amount of sculk.

A ruin boss has 100 to 120 health and shows a custom boss bar. Once it is defeated it drops a weapon. Players who explore the structures can also find Runes, which open later structures, pottery sherds for early supplies, suspicious gravel that yields an Ancient Stone Knife and an Ancient Leather Shield when brushed, and a Prismarine Cage with a random reward. Some rooms hold unique loot next to fire and earth paintings. The mod is built to run on a server, and players who join it need nothing extra.

Key features

  1. Ruin structures

    Towers and rooms with corner decorations, traps underneath and a storage room whose barrels hold the loot.

  2. Custom bosses

    Bosses with 100 to 120 health and a custom boss bar, each dropping a weapon when defeated.

  3. Runes and access

    Runes found in the structures open later structures, and eight runes are placed around one ruin's exterior.

  4. Brushable loot

    Suspicious gravel and pottery sherds give early supplies, an Ancient Stone Knife and an Ancient Leather Shield.

What the author says

This pack/mod aims to fill the lack of structures in Minecraft. Every boss has 100-120 HP and a custom bossbar. Once you defeat them, they'll drop their weapon. You will also get a Rune, which will be used to unlock a future structure.
