Structures Plus II

It is a mod that adds new structures to the Minecraft game world. So if it seems to you that your map is too empty and lacks lively elements, this mod will fix the situation. It cannot boast something global, such as large dungeons or huge buildings, as its purpose is to generate simple and cozy structures to diversify the cubic world.

In total, the mod adds five new structure types: villages, residential buildings, towers, ruins, and decorative structures. The residential buildings are empty but comfortable houses in which, if you wish, you can create your base.

The towers can already be considered dungeons. You will find a lot of different spawners inside, especially compared to the relatively small floor area, as well as loot chests. These towers are indeed dangerous but are a good place for fighting. Besides, you will also be able to make full-fledged experience farms out of them.

The ruins are way more moderate. They can also have chests and mobs but usually hide mere piles of variously processed stones and some cobwebs.

Fairy villages will appear in the dark forest biome, and underground villages will generate at the deepslate layer. Even though it will be quite difficult to find the latter, it will not be impossible.

As for the decorative structures, they just slightly diversify the environment. Sometimes, you will come across full-blown buildings, such as abandoned farms or interestingly generated ruined portals that do not look vanilla, but for the most part, those are just sculptures.

All five structure types cannot boast many variants. They come down to one type of towers, several ruins, three types of houses, and a couple of sculptures. They are eye-pleasing, full of items that can take with you, and decorated both outside and inside, but you will hardly want to look for them deliberately. They generate extremely often in the game world, and for the most part, their content is the same. What kind of building will appear next to you depends on the biome you are located in.

A nice feature is that all the loot inside the new structures does not spoil the game balance. You will not find chests stuffed with diamonds and emeralds or advanced enchantment books there. Even the golden apples, which are quite widespread, are not that frequently found in these locations. You will rather find something ordinary and useful at the initial stages of the game or for subsequent trading with villagers.

We should also mention what cannot be considered a full-fledged structure but is still not part of the vanilla environment, namely floating islands. However, they are tiny and empty enough not to waste your time on them. There is nothing interesting there except a relaxing landscape with waterfalls and bird's-eye views of the surrounding terrain.
