Grand Capitals
I don't know my version or loader
Grand Capitals
A community-refreshed re-release. Original by lukidonu — now updated & maintained by darkstarworks.
Rebuilt vanilla villages and illager structures to breathe new life into your world — settlements that finally feel like real, grand capitals rather than a scattering of the same few huts.
What's new in v1.2.0
- Three previously-unused buildings added for more variety (an extra plains house, a savanna town centre, and a taiga town centre)
- Light weathering added to village stonework, plus more consistent placement on terrain
- Smaller download (~4.4 MB lighter) and a fixed console warning
Why this re-release?
The original was created by lukidonu, who has since discontinued all of their projects ("Projects are discontinued #RIP"). I tried to reach the author but wasn't able to make contact, so I've taken over maintenance to keep the project alive and compatible with current versions of Minecraft.
What's been done by me
- ✅ Updated to 1.2.0
- ✅ Updated for Minecraft 26.x
- ✅ Removed obsolete/broken data files left over from older Minecraft versions
- ✅ Repackaged for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge & Quilt (data pack + mod)
