What it does

Each structure is built only from vanilla blocks, so it blends into the look of a naturally generated world. The pack introduces several new structures that appear across the map, and each one comes in three variants adjusted to suit deserts, warm climates, temperate biomes or snowy and icy regions. Structures are kept small and non-intrusive, and each tells a short story for players to find while exploring.

Because it is a datapack-driven world generation addition, it can run alongside a range of other world generation mods and datapacks. The mod is required on the server, while players may add it on the client. Small Structures is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, as well as a data pack, across the 1.21.9 – 26.3 range. It is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.

Use cases

Exploration in new worlds

Adding detail to existing worlds

The structures also appear in chunks generated after installation, so older worlds gain new points of interest over time.

Who it’s for: Players who want more points of interest in their world and server owners who want to add flavor without changing the core game experience.
