🏛️ Ancient Structures
Ancient Structures is a comprehensive Minecraft mod that introduces unique, handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations directly into your world.
This mod acts as a bridge within the Dawn of Time ecosystem, showcasing the architectural potential of blocks from Dawn of Time and animated armor models from Armor of the Ages through immersive world generation.
The first version features approximately 20 unique buildings spread across four cultures: Maya, Roman, Japanese, and Germanic. Each structure is designed to enhance survival gameplay with a focus on atmosphere, worldbuilding, and challenge. Players will discover solitary temples, sacred ruins, abandoned villages, and military sites. Each location hides custom loot, secret passages, mini-bosses, and animated mobs wearing culturally themed equipment.
Required Dependencies
For the mod to function, the following are required:
Additional Datapacks
The Ancient Structures experience can be expanded with datapacks from the Dawn of Time team. These additions focus on a single culture, allowing for deeper exploration of architecture. Adventure awaits!
Project Status and Feedback
The mod is very recent, and player feedback is crucial for refining structure generation, gameplay balance, and visual consistency.

Future updates will include additional datapacks to expand the number of buildings per civilization. A video tutorial will also be created to help players develop and share their own Ancient Structures packs using Dawn of Time as a foundation.
