Sparcs Tweaks Mod

• Are you tired of boring dungeons with even more boring loot?
• Do you want more variety in mineshaft and stronghold loot?
• Do you wish sometimes you’d get something useful from digging through mounds and mounds of dirt?
• Do you wish a chance to recover some of that glass you placed?
• Do you want to be able to put torches on the back of stairs?
• If the answer to any of these questions was “yes” then SparcsTweaks is the Mod for you.

This is a minimalist mod that only tweaks a few key features of the game to make it a bit more rewarding and exciting.
