🏛️ Ancient Structures

Ancient Structures is a comprehensive Minecraft mod that adds unique handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations to your world. It serves as a connecting element in the Dawn of Time ecosystem, showcasing the architectural potential of blocks from the Dawn of Time mod and animated armor models from Armor of the Ages through immersive world generation.

The first version features approximately 20 unique buildings distributed across four cultures: Maya, Romans, Japanese, and Germans. Each structure is designed to enhance survival gameplay with an emphasis on atmosphere, world development, and challenge. Players will encounter secluded temples, sacred ruins, abandoned villages, and military sites hiding unique loot, secret passages, mini-bosses, and animated mobs in thematic equipment.

The mod requires the following dependencies to function:

• Dawn of Time
• Armor of the Ages
• Fusion
• YetAnotherConfig (YACL)

Additional Cultural Datapacks

The Ancient Structures experience can be expanded using datapacks from the Dawn of Time team. These data sets focus on a single culture, allowing for deeper immersion in architecture. Adventures await!

• Knoxxturre: Edo Japan
• Jackiefr: Chinese

Future Plans

In future updates, additional datapacks will be released to expand the number of buildings in each civilization. A video tutorial will also be created to help players develop and share their own Ancient Structures packs based on Dawn of Time.
