Lost Kingdoms: Abandoned Structures and Ruins Welcome to the world of the Grim Kingdoms: Lost structures & ruins mod! This addon expands the standard Minecraft gameplay by introducing fifteen unique structures crafted in fantasy and medieval styles. You will encounter mysterious citadels, sturdy fortresses, and impressive castles nestled within snowy landscapes.
Generation Mechanics The mod ensures that all new structures spawn naturally only in snow-related biomes. These include:
- Snowy Plains
- Snowy Beach
- Snowy Taiga
- Grove
- Jagged Peaks
- Frozen Peaks
- Snowy Slopes
- Ice Spikes
It is important to note that all objects are built exclusively from vanilla (standard) game blocks and mechanics.
Features and Content Each fortress possesses its own unique identity and conceals many secrets. The structures are inhabited by both ordinary and custom vanilla mobs, among which you can encounter feral white rabbits, wolf packs, and nimble, cunning gnomes scurrying through the ruins. Loot configuration adheres to vanilla drop tables; however, special items are hidden within caches, adding even more excitement to exploration.
Compatibility The developers have ensured high mod compatibility. It works correctly with popular modifications affecting the landscape:
- Terralith
- Geophilic
- JJ Thunder to the Max
- William Wythers' Overhauled Overworld
- William Wythers' Expanded Ecosphere
- Biomes O’ Plenty (mostly)
- Oh The Biomes We've Gone (mostly)
The key to successful integration is the correct positioning of buildings within the terrain: you will not encounter structures floating in the air ('floaters').
Future Plans The author's plans include implementing the generation of such castles and fortresses in other, not just winter, biomes. This feature is under active development.
