About this Mod
Wabi-Sabi Structures adds a plethora of new structures that generate throughout your Minecraft world, all designed with the Japanese philosophy of "Wabi-Sabi" in mind - embracing imperfection while still being aesthetically interesting.
Our structures uniquely complement Minecraft's generation with little extra spices. Expect anything from patches of natural crops, to various cozy cabins, degraded stables, dangerous towers, ominous monoliths, underground eggs of mysterious creatures, and more. Our aim is to provide newfound excitement in exploring new terrain, in a way that allows each world, biome, and dimension to have enhanced variety.
Features
Currently, Wabi-Sabi Structures contains over 70 new structures, including several in the Nether and End. Variants, loot, and block randomization are present for many structures to increase variability in generation.
In addition, many of our structures utilize mechanics present in vanilla Minecraft in order to showcase these features to players or alleviate issues in the base game - a tower in the Forest that teaches lighting and extinguishing Campfires, factory ruins in the Nether with a Basalt generator, an orchard in the End featuring different Note Block instruments, to name just a few. The loot found in certain structures might also include items that cannot be obtained otherwise in survival Minecraft, but in a way that is not game-breaking.
Compatibility
As of the 1.1.1 update, Wabi-Sabi Structures supports the following biome mods:
The mod will work alongside other mods that add new biomes, but currently our new structures will not spawn in the modded biomes. We plan to add full support for more popular biome mods in the future.
