STRAYED FATES: Forsaken
Travelers reach abandoned villages in the world with STRAYED FATES: Forsaken, a world generation mod that adds detailed ruined structures to Vanilla terrain.
What it does
The mod places collections of abandoned structures in the world. Their designs are built from jigsaw pieces, and the generator combines the pieces that fit together, so the number of possible layouts is large. Each structure set is tied to biome tags, so the ruins appear only in biomes that allow them. The structures spread across Vanilla biomes and can be found in chunks generated after the mod is installed.
The structures come in several styles, including oak, spruce, snowy, desert, brick, mud, oriental, rustic, birch, dark oak, pit and cobble. Some sets include a cellar, a washhouse and a pump. The mod is distributed as a Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt mod, and as a data pack for players who want the same content on a single world. The content is the same on both forms. Files are published for 1.20 – 1.21.4, with 2.0.0.2 as the latest build, released 2024-09-25. The server must run the mod, while clients may leave it out. The project is released under All rights reserved and is not open source, although its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Oak and spruce ruins

Brick, mud and oriental ruins
Brick, mud and oriental sets add structures that stand out from the wooden ones, with more than one variant per set.
Cellars and utility buildings
Some sets include cellars, washhouses and pumps, which are placed as part of the wider ruin layouts.
