Structures & Dungeons

Nytheria has over 900 structures. A fresh world can place 952 of them, spread over the Overworld, the Nether, the End and the six extra dimensions, and the numbers come from dozens of structure mods. This page is the hub for exploring: it gives the counting rules, the biggest sets, what replaces vanilla structures and how rare the rare ones are. Per-mod details are on Structure Mods A-Z, and the per-player chests are explained on Per-Player Loot.

Overview#

The figure "over 900" is the number of structures a world can place, with variants counted separately: 952, of which 926 come from mods and 26 are vanilla. A variant is its own entry. For example, Moog's Voyager contributes 130 separate buildings, and Towns and Towers has a village version for each biome style. The pack ships 993 structure definitions in total, but 41 never generate: 31 are switched off by config, 5 are not used by any structure set and 5 need biomes that this pack does not have. That is why the page does not say "almost 1,000".

Structures come from 54 jars covering 51 mod namespaces, plus vanilla, and the jars define 510 structure sets. The full list is on Structure Mods A-Z. Per dimension, the pack places these numbers (a structure is counted once per dimension its biomes belong to, so six structures appear twice):

The mods behind it#

The ten biggest structure sets by placeable structures (mod namespaces only) are:

Next come MES - Moog's End Structures (25, all in the End), Explorify – Dungeons & Structures (23), Structory: Towers (21), The Twilight Forest (20) and L_Ender's Cataclysm (15). The Cataclysm and Astral Dimension jars run through Sporran.

What replaces vanilla structures#

Eight vanilla structure entries are off, because a mod replaces them. Six YUNG's mods switch off the vanilla version through their own configs, and Better Strongholds always replaces the stronghold.

YUNG's Better Dungeons also removes the vanilla monster rooms. Several other vanilla structures stay, some of them re-skinned: villages, pillager outposts, ancient cities, trial chambers, trail ruins, bastions, end cities, shipwrecks, ruined portals, igloos and more. Dungeons and Taverns overhauls the ancient city, the pillager outpost and the woodland mansion. So do not expect "every vanilla structure is replaced".

Structures by dimension#

Which sets fill which dimension (placeable structures from each mod; the vanilla structures add to the Overworld, Nether and End totals):

The per-mod rows, with definitions and switched-off counts, are on Structure Mods A-Z.

Villages, outposts and the switched-off sets#

The pack keeps 31 structure definitions off in total: the 8 vanilla ones above, and 23 more.

• Repurposed Structures: all 11 Overworld pillager outposts, 7 of its 11 Overworld villages (badlands, birch, giant taiga, jungle, oak, ocean, swamp) and its Nether and End strongholds.
• Dungeons and Taverns: its birch, jungle and swamp villages.

Villages still appear. Vanilla villages stay on, Towns and Towers has all 60 definitions on, and Improved Village Placement adds 5 small village variants (desert, plains, savanna, snowy, taiga). Villages&Pillages, the Bakery village and It Takes a Pillage Continuation also stay on. The global pack nytheria_worldgen_fixes adds Terralith and Oh The Biomes We've Gone biomes to five Towns and Towers village styles so that they can spawn, and it limits Medieval Buildings to biomes that exist in the pack.

How rare are structures?#

Structures sit at their normal spacing. The Cristel Lib placement files match each mod's defaults, vanilla spacing matches vanilla, and the global settings are neutral. The one exception is the woodland mansion, which is spread twice as far apart.

A handful of sets are very rare landmarks. The table gives spacing and separation in chunks:

Boss lairs#

Many bosses live in structures, so exploring is also how you find them.

The first four are from Bosses of Mass Destruction, the rest from Cataclysm. The Twilight Forest has eight more bosses in its structures; see Bosses for the complete list. Dungeons and Taverns spawns six smaller trial-spawner guardians in the End Castle, the Lone Citadel, the Toxic Lair and the Trident Trials Monument; read Other Bosses & Mini-Bosses.

Loot in structures#

Chests, barrels, shulker boxes, chest minecarts, decorated pots, suspicious sand and gravel and certain item frames hold per-player loot: each player who opens one gets their own roll. Lootr Remastered does this, and it adds one or two extra stacks of items from other mods to chests in most structures (the dimension mods and a few others are excluded). Lootr chests do not refill, and you can break them only while sneaking. The details are on Per-Player Loot.

Several End Remastered eyes are found in the loot of structure chests. Their sources are tabled on The End Portal & the 16 Eyes.

Finding structures and biomes#

Nature's Compass finds biomes, not structures; it costs no XP and never breaks in this pack. Quest chapters send you to structures as well: see below. Other structures are found by exploring; the minimap and the world map help, see Maps & Navigation.

In the quest book#

The Part 3 chapter Ruins and Rumours in The Road is the structure-tourism chapter. Its visible quests send you to villages, a Structory fire tower, a shipwreck, a Betterdungeons small dungeon, the Greenwood Pub, a lighthouse, an old manor, a Terralith mage tower and the Coliseum, plus five biomes. Its capstone asks for six filled maps, a written book and a read at a lectern. The next chapter, Bells in the Mist, covers villages, trading, raids, a pillager outpost and the Illager Invasion fort.
