🏛️ Ancient Structures
Ancient Structures is a full-featured Minecraft mod that enriches your world with unique, handcrafted structures from ancient civilizations. It serves as a bridge within the Dawn of Time ecosystem, showcasing the architectural potential of Dawn of Time blocks and animated armor models from Armor of the Ages through world generation integration.
The first version includes around 20 unique buildings, distributed among four cultures: Mayan, 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. Inside, they'll find custom loot, secret passages, mini-bosses, and animated mobs wearing culturally themed equipment.
The mod requires the following dependencies to work:
- Dawn of Time
- Armor of the Ages
- Fusion
- YetAnotherConfig (YACL)
