About this Mod
This datapack / mod adds new Structures to the empty Badlands Biome.
Since the badlands biomes are very empty when it comes to structures, I've created this mod which generates villages and pyramids in a badlands-style. All structures contain barrels with loot you won't leave behind!
Current Structures:
- Badlands Pyramid that has a secret redstone trap
- Badlands Village
- Badlands Witch Hut with Piston door
Village Loot:
Pyramid Loot:
Witch Hut Loot:
