by Biban_Auriu

What it does

The mod expands on village and outpost generation with new structures that spawn in newly generated chunks only. Many of them draw on real buildings and architectural styles, and the author reports over 50 structures. Structures use the tag set described in the author notes, so some can only be located with the mod installed. The author intends the mod to work alongside most world generation mods, while some features from other mods are not yet present.

Towns and Towers runs server-side and is required on the server, with client installation optional. For the 1.19.3 – 1.20.4 builds the pack depends on Cristel Lib, which also runs server-side. Builds are published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with a data pack version offered on Planet Minecraft. Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial Share Alike 4.0 covers the mod, which is not open source.

Key features

  1. Reworked villages

    Village structures are more detailed than the vanilla versions while keeping the same general layout in the world.

  2. Pillager outposts

    New outposts add structures for pillager groups to occupy, replacing the vanilla outpost designs.

  3. New ships

    Ship structures are added to the world, giving additional locations to find while exploring.

  4. Real-world inspiration

    Many structures are based on real buildings or architectural styles.

  5. Located with commands

    Structures are found with the locate command, using the towns and towers structure names from the list supplied by the author.

Questions

Does Towns and Towers need Cristel Lib?

The 1.19.3 – 1.20.4 builds depend on Cristel Lib, which must be installed next to the mod. Other versions in the supported range are published without that dependency.

Does the server need the mod, or do players?

Server-side installation is what matters: the server needs the mod, while client installation stays optional. Players can join without it for the server-side structures.

Will existing terrain change after installing the mod?

No. The new structures only spawn in newly generated chunks, so areas already loaded or generated keep their original layout.

Is Towns and Towers compatible with other world generation mods?

The author states it should work with most world generation mods and with mods that add new structures or villages. Some features from other mods are not yet included, and the author plans to address them over time.
