About this Mod
About:
Luki's Ancient Cities is a mod for 1.21 focused on overhauling the visual and gameplay aspects of the Ancient Cities and making them more significant and worthwhile. The ancient cities have completely remade buildings to make them look more like cities.
The vanilla loot table has also been reworked, adding more valuable material, so Ancient Cities will be worth exploring after looting one.
Attention:
There may be some generation oddities since the structure is so big and underground.
The Watchtower build is inspired heavily by one of the works by Louisdepoui on Instagram; check them out!
