Ruins Galore
Ruins Galore is a Fabric world generation mod that adds five new ruin structures to the overworld, each holding loot.
What it does
Five ruin structures generate in the world, and each one contains loot. The mod is meant for players who want a few extra structures without a large addition to the game. Ruins spawn in Snowy Plains, Jungle and Dark Forest biomes, with the Jungle variant being the rarest of them. Their spawn rate is kept uncommon, so they turn up now and then rather than in every area.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and only the server needs the mod. It is published for Fabric alone, with a single file for 26.1.2. The author notes that more variants are planned for later updates. Ruins Galore is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license and is not open source.
Key features
Five ruin structures
The mod adds five ruin structures to the world, each one a separate place for players to explore.
Loot in every ruin
Each ruin contains loot, giving players a reason to search out the structures they find.
Biome-specific spawning
Ruins generate in Snowy Plains, Jungle and Dark Forest biomes, with the Jungle variant the rarest of the set.
Uncommon spawn rate
Ruins appear infrequently, so finding one stays a matter of exploration rather than a common sight.

Tryzz's Better Ruins supports Fabric and NeoForge across 1.21.1 – 26.1.2, requires the server but leaves the client optional, and is licensed as All rights reserved.
