YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments
YUNG's Better Ocean Monuments makes ocean monuments much larger than vanilla ones, and their layouts are randomized, so each one plays out differently.
What it does
Each ocean monument is rebuilt as a bigger structure with a randomized layout, replacing the fixed vanilla design. Loot is richer, with Tridents and a Heart of the Sea among the rewards for exploring one. The changes are generated in the world, so existing monuments are not altered.
Server-side only, so players joining a server with it need nothing installed. It requires Cloth Config API, Fabric API and YUNG's API, and Mod Menu is optional for its configuration screen. Published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 11 release versions, covering 1.19.2 – 26.1.2, the code is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, making it open source. Source code and an issue tracker are linked from the project page.
Key features
Larger monuments
Ocean monuments generate at a much bigger size than the vanilla structure, changing how they appear on the seafloor.
Randomized layouts
Each monument is assembled with a randomized arrangement, so two monuments in the same world rarely match.
Richer rewards
Monuments hold better rewards for players who explore them, with the exact contents set by the mod's loot tables.
Worldgen compatibility
The author intends the mod to work with other world generation mods, and several compatibility mods already require it.
