SkyBlock Dirt Hardcore
by BPR02
SkyBlock Dirt Hardcore turns a new world into a floating island, so players must work from a single block of dirt and no starter chest tree.
What it does
The data pack changes world generation so that a new world starts on a skyblock island with no starter chest tree. Players begin in a snowy taiga and have to defeat the Ender Dragon to finish the run. Ancient Cities, Ocean Monuments, Pillager Outposts, Witch Huts, Mansions, Nether Fortresses and Trial Chambers are placed on the same bounding boxes as in a normal world, so their positions line up with the usual generation rules: Sculk Shriekers spawn where Wardens are expected, Elder Guardians appear in Ocean Monuments, Allays appear in Pillager Outposts and Mansions, and Witches appear in Witch Huts.
The server must run the mod, while players may leave it out. It is released under the MIT License and is open source. The data pack is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt across 24 release versions, 1.19.4 – 26.2, and the optional Disable Custom Worlds Advice and Sky Void Additions mods are named as companions.

Matched structure placement
Ancient Cities, Ocean Monuments, Pillager Outposts, Witch Huts, Mansions, Nether Fortresses and Trial Chambers keep the bounding boxes of a normal world.

What the author says
The worldgen data pack infinitely generates a void world with properties akin to the original SkyBlock. This means all structures (that matter) will generate with their bounding boxes, but no blocks. These structures will generate at the same location as if the world with the same seed was generated with normal…
