Vanilla++
by Moldomre
Vanilla++ is a content expansion that adds new animal variants, structures, enchantments, paintings, music discs and armor trim materials on top of Vanilla+.
What it does
Installation needs Vanilla+, and the version of Vanilla++ has to match the Vanilla+ version it was built for. Vanilla++ works on a server with clients that have no mod installed, so only the server needs it. It is published for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, and the builds cover 1.21.4 – 26.3 across 12 release versions. The mod is released under All rights reserved, so the code is not open source. It is incompatible with Minecraft Realms.
The additions include trial-based structures that reuse the Trial Chambers mechanics with unique loot, underground Monster Jails, End Shanties in the outer End, Pale and Tuff Monuments that hold locked chests opened with a small key from a stronghold, and Abandoned Campsites in several biomes. Each structure comes with its own loot table, so the rewards differ from one to the next.
Key features
Animal variants
New animal variants join the vanilla animal set, giving more visual options in the world.
Trial structures
Aqua Box generates in Deep Oceans and Sky Box generates in the skies above many biomes, both built on Trial Chambers mechanics.
Monster Jails
Underground jails with a single Trial Spawner, a couple of vaults and secret chests, a companion to Monster Rooms.
Enchantments and music discs
New enchantments, paintings, music discs and armor trim materials extend the vanilla item set.
