Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Data pack only.

Minecraft 1.20.3–1.20.4Newest
Minecraft 1.20–1.20.2

⬇ Download for 1.20.3–1.20.4 ⬇ Download for 1.20–1.20.2

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

Trail Villages

This data pack adds a new village type based on the pre-existing trail ruins introduced in Minecraft 1.20. These villages are meant to show what these ruins would've looked like in their golden age, before they ended up ruined and buried underground. This does however not overwrite the trail ruin generation, so you can still use this, even if you want to explore these underground digsites.

Make sure to add this data pack before generating a world so that the structures actually generate.

Also note that this structure is not 100% finished and might be updated in the future.
