YUNG's Better Jungle Temples
YUNG's Better Jungle Temples redesigns Minecraft's jungle temples with a new layout, traps, puzzles and loot, and runs only on the server.
What it does
Jungle temples generated by the mod use a new design built from the ground up, with traps, puzzles and a reworked loot set in place of the vanilla temple. Optional built-in compatibility lets some parts of a temple spawn special pieces when certain other worldgen mods are present, and those mods are not required.
The mod is installed on the server, where it generates the temples in new worlds and existing chunks as they load. Players join without installing anything. Dependencies are Cloth Config API, Fabric API and YUNG's API, and Mod Menu is optional. YUNG's API must be present on Forge and NeoForge builds as well. The Big Globe - YUNG's Better Jungle Temples Compatibility mod requires this mod.
Released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, the code is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker. Builds exist for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 10 release versions, 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, with the latest Forge file for 1.21.1 and the latest Fabric and NeoForge files for 26.1.2.
