About this Mod
🏕️ Bonus Tent (Fabric 1.16.5)
Tired of the same old boring bonus chest sitting on the ground when you start a new world? Bonus Tent completely revamps your early-game start!
This mod replaces the standard vanilla bonus chest with a cozy, abandoned explorer's tent.
✨ Key Features:
- Smart Spawning Algorithm: The mod scans the starting chunk to find a perfect $5 \times 5$ flat clearing. No more structures floating in the air or cutting into tree leaves!
- Upgraded Survival Loot: The chest is packed with actual starting gear (stone tools, plenty of food, torches, and wood logs) with a 35% chance to find a rare Easter-egg diamond!
- Scavenger's Barrel: A nearby barrel filled with camping scraps like sticks, strings, bones, and dirt blocks.
- Atmospheric Campfire: A campfire sits right outside the tent, shooting a column of bright particles into the sky so you can easily spot your camp from a distance.
- No Junk Left Behind: All technical structure blocks are completely removed during generation.
