Wild west structures
With Wild west structures, the world generator places western-themed sites such as bandit camps, a church and a TNT cart into badlands, desert and swamp biomes.
What it does
Wild west structures adds structures inspired by the American frontier to the badlands and nearby biomes. Some of them are wagons carrying lost supplies, TNT carts, campsites, a badlands village, a desert camp, a swamp shack and a bandit camp, along with a western-style church. Players find them while exploring, so a new world can hold them without any crafting.
The mod is a world generation addition and runs on the server only. Players join a server that runs it without installing anything, and single-player worlds need it in the mods folder. Files are available for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across the 1.19.2 – 1.21.8 range, with the latest Fabric build for 1.21.8 and the latest Forge build for 1.19.2.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. It was first published on 2024-04-16 and last updated on 2026-01-28. Among the 1253 World generation mods with Fabric files for 1.21.8, it is one of several that add biome-specific structures.
