Dungeons and Taverns is a comprehensive structure datapack designed to enrich your Minecraft exploration experience by introducing a variety of new, vanilla-like structures seamlessly integrated into the game world. This mod addresses the common issue of repetitive exploration by adding points of interest such as fire watch towers, cozy taverns, challenging dungeons like the Badland Minder Outpost, and illager hideouts. These additions provide players with new objectives and visually appealing landmarks, making each journey through your world feel fresh and exciting, encouraging deeper engagement with the game's generated landscapes and offering unique opportunities for discovery and adventure beyond standard village and stronghold encounters. The mod functions by adding new structure sets that generate naturally within your Minecraft world, ensuring they feel like a natural extension of the existing terrain and architecture. Players will encounter diverse locations, from functional taverns where they can interact with cartographers to complex dungeons filled with potential loot and challenges. A key feature is the ability to unlock and move cartographers within taverns, allowing for a renewable source of custom maps after reaching a certain trade level. Furthermore, the mod introduces a host of new, unique enchantments found exclusively as loot within these structures, offering powerful buffs and abilities that can significantly alter gameplay and combat strategies, providing a rewarding progression system for dedicated explorers. Dungeons and Taverns is compatible with Minecraft versions 1.21.9, 1.21.10-rc1, 1.21.10, 1.21.11, and also supports the 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, and 26.2 versions. It is designed to work with multiple mod loaders, including Datapack, Fabric, Forge, and NeoForged. This mod is optional on the client-side, meaning players can enjoy the new structures without installing it on their own game client if they are joining a server where it is installed. However, it is required on the server-side, ensuring that all players connecting to the server will experience the added structures and content, making it a server-side enhancement for a shared world experience. To install Dungeons and Taverns, if you are using the Datapack loader, you should place the datapack file into the 'datapacks' folder of your Minecraft world save. For Fabric, Forge, or NeoForged, the mod file should be placed in the 'mods' folder of your Minecraft installation. Before launching the game, ensure that you have the correct version of the mod installed for your Minecraft version and that your chosen mod loader is also up-to-date. If you are using the datapack version and wish to see custom key textures, you will also need to install the accompanying resource pack, as it is a combined file for the datapack implementation; the mod version handles resource loading automatically.
