Arcane Caches

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.

⬇ Download for 1.21.5–1.21.8⬇ Download for 1.21.2–1.21.4⬇ Download for 1.21–1.21.1
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.

This is a first release data pack, created to get the idea out of my head. While it has been tested for funcionality, the game mechanics it adds may not be properly balanced yet. Constructive feedback on the balance is appreciated.

This data pack adds rare structures with endgame+ loot, beyond what's obtainable in vanilla survival to the world. Occasional random encounters with custom wandering traders offering explorer maps to the nearest structure are also generated.

Notes For Use
  1. This data pack is best installed before initial world generation. The vanilla world generation only adds structures to newly generated chunks. Due to the rarity of the structures, significant new exploration may be required to produce structures on established worlds.

  2. This data pack contains loot tables that use luck modifiers. If used with other data packs/plugins/mods that allow players to acquire elevated luck attributes, overly generous loot will be generated.

Notes For Multi-Player
  1. Use in a multi-player environment was anticipated during development. While rare, structure generation should be frequent enough that players can reasonably locate new ones in the late game. All random events are unique per player.

  2. If installed on a server where the world seed is known, server owners may want to modify the salt values of the structure set files located in 'data/arcane_caches/worldgen/structure_set/' to prevent players installing this datapack on a single player world to locate the structures.
