About this Mod
Shulker's Faithful Factories
Shulker's Faithful Factories is designed for the technical player who wants to expand their automation while keeping to spirit of vanilla Minecraft. This mod is meant to complement vanilla by making more resources renewable through redstone and exploration.
Major Features
Shulker Factories: Explore rare, heavily-guarded structures from a forgotten civilization. These factories are denser and larger than End Cities, featuring traps, lore, and the ultimate prize: a Shulker Spawner.
The End Explorer Map: Don't want to fly for hours? Find these maps in End City chests to pinpoint Shulker Factories easily.
Technical Farming Tweaks:
- Automated Cocoa: Endermen can now break and plant cocoa.
- Renewable Cobwebs: Spiders spin webs near logs or spawners under specific light levels.
- Renewable Wood & Dead Bushes: Bonemealing grass has a chance to drop Oak Saplings; saplings in the desert may convert to Dead Bushes.
Technical & Compatibility
- Customizable: Use the cobbler config file to tweak spawn rates or toggle specific farming mechanics.
- Loot Tables: Fully data-driven and easy to modify for modpack balance.
- Safety Note: For versions 1.16 - 1.16.3, please back up your worlds before installing or removing any structure mods due to Vanilla bug MC-194811. (Fixed in 1.16.4+).
