Wabi-Sabi Structures (Fabric)
This is the Fabric version!
Updates
August 7, 2023 - Wabi-Sabi Structures 1.2.0 / 2.0.0 has been released to the public! This is the largest update to date, marking the final update for version 1.19 and the first update for version 1.20. Both versions feature over a dozen new structures, numerous balance tweaks, and improvements. New agricultural plots, camps and forts, steamboats stuck in mud, museums, floating spirals in the End, and even remnants of ancient settlements in the Deep Dark have been added.
In the 1.20 version, additional structures such as the bamboo fireworks site have been included, and many existing constructions have been updated with new content. Particularly important is that suspicious blocks now appear in structures where archaeology can be practiced! You can excavate rubble in concrete mill ruins, carefully extract contents from monster eggs, find rare loot in gravel around the basalt castle in the Nether, and much more.
About the Mod
Wabi-Sabi Structures adds numerous new structures that generate throughout the Minecraft world. All of them are created following the Japanese philosophy of "Wabi-Sabi" - embracing imperfection while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
Our structures organically complement standard Minecraft generation, adding variety to gameplay. You'll find everything from natural agricultural plots to cozy cabins, ruined stables, dangerous towers, ominous monoliths, underground eggs of mysterious creatures, and much more. Our goal is to make exploring new territories more exciting by increasing diversity in every world, biome, and dimension.
Many structures utilize vanilla Minecraft mechanics to introduce players to these possibilities or solve issues in the base game. For example, a tower in the forest demonstrates how to light and extinguish campfires, factory ruins in the Nether contain a basalt generator, and a garden in the End showcases various musical instruments from note blocks. Loot in some structures may include items that cannot be obtained normally in survival mode, but without disrupting game balance.
Features
Currently, Wabi-Sabi Structures includes 58 new structures:
- 51 structures in the Overworld
- 6 structures in the Nether
- 1 structure in the End
- Variants, random loot, and block randomization to increase generation diversity
Gallery
We have many plans for adding new structures and thematic updates in the future, including using jigsaws to create even larger and more impressive constructions.
