Simple Structures: Desert
by Kononets
With Simple Structures: Desert installed, the Desert biome gains 30 added structures built from simple parts.
What it does
The mod adds 37 structures to the Desert biome of the vanilla world. Only the server must run it, and players may leave it out. Builds cover 1.20 – 26.3 for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and a data pack version is also available.
Key features
Desert structures
Thirty-seven structures generate in the Desert biome, placed during world generation.
Biome-focused placement
Every addition is tied to the Desert biome, so other biomes keep their vanilla layout.
Data pack option
A data pack build is offered for servers that prefer not to install a loader mod.
