Vases of Echo
by Calyren
Vases of Echo places loot-filled vases inside Ancient Cities, so breaking one with a careless swing can set off nearby Sculk Sensors.
What it does
Ancient Cities generate with vases that hold loot. The vases come in three sizes, named Big, Small and Tall, and every size holds the same amount of loot. Breaking a vase with Silk Touch keeps it as a decoration item instead, and breaking one loudly alerts nearby Sculk Sensors, so careful collection matters in the deeper parts of the city.
The mod changes Ancient City generation only through these vases. Anything else that a player breaks is left alone, so the rest of the structure and the world remain as the vanilla game makes them. The concept was inspired by the Vases CSMP project, and the mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
It runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 and is needed on both sides, so the server and every player install it. The latest build is 1.1 for 1.20.1, published on 2026-07-14 after a first release on 2026-02-25.

Three vase sizes

Sculk Sensor alerts
Breaking a vase makes noise that nearby Sculk Sensors detect, which affects how quietly a player can work.
