Lios Spiral Tower Villages
by Liopyu
Spiral Tower Villages generates tall villages whose buildings wind up spiral towers, placed in the world as structures during generation on servers.
What it does
Each village rises as a set of vertical towers laid out in a spiral, with the surrounding terrain shaped by custom world generation. Towers come from a pool of more than 40 variants, so the layout and building style change from one village to the next. Existing vanilla villages are left unchanged, and the mod can sit alongside village overhaul mods such as Lio's Overhauled Villages.
Inside the towers, some chambers hold old villager diaries that describe the history of the towers and the dangers their builders faced. Concealed redstone mechanisms and secret triggers guard rare loot in several rooms, and the chests carry hand-tuned loot tables with a mix of gear, rare finds and thematic items. The mod is part of the Lio's Outlandish Villages series.
The mod runs only on the server, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with files covering 1.19 – 26.3 and the latest build 0.0.4 for 26.3, released 2026-10-03. The code is not open source; the mod is licensed as All rights reserved, and public links exist for its source code and issue tracker.
