Structure Overload
by eascedbatel
Structure Overload changes how vanilla structures generate, so a NeoForge world holds far more ruins, dungeons and outposts than the default settings give.
What it does
Normally a traveler can cover thousands of blocks before reaching a single village or outpost. Structure Overload alters the generation rules so structures appear close together, turning the landscape into a densely packed world of temples, ruins, cities and dungeons. Each new area offers a point of interest and loot, with dangers a few dozen blocks away from the last one.
Structures are placed on a tight 4x4 chunk grid, and the mod calculates a suitable height for each structure in its dimension, so the placements fit the terrain. The mod is built on the vanilla structure pool, so the structures themselves stay unchanged while their frequency rises. It is licensed as All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Extreme generation density
Structures are placed on a tight 4x4 chunk grid, so exploration rarely involves long stretches of empty land.
Vanilla structure pool
The structures added are the vanilla ones, such as Woodland Mansions, Ancient Cities and Trial Chambers, with no new designs.
Multi-dimensional coverage
Temples in the Overworld, Bastions in the Nether and End Cities in the End are all placed more densely.
Automatic height placement
The mod works out a suitable height for each structure in its dimension, so placements suit the terrain they land on.
