Abandoned City Buildings Updated Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I find abandoned houses in my world?
Abandoned houses generate naturally during world creation in various biomes. They're most commonly found in plains, forests, and desert areas. Explore your world or use the locate command if your mod version supports it to find them faster.
What loot can I find in the chests?
Chests contain a mix of items ranging from common materials like cobwebs and mushrooms to more valuable drops like iron ingots, apples, and other supplies. Different chest types (trash, cobweb, food) have different loot pools.
Can I use an abandoned house as my base?
Yes, the structures are designed with this in mind and come with ready-made rooms and layouts. You can modify the interiors, add your own furniture, and use them as a starting point for your base.
Do the houses respawn loot after I loot them once?
No, chests are one-time loot only. Once you take items from a chest, it won't refill, so plan your looting carefully if you want to preserve the structure for later use.
What building materials can I harvest from these structures?
You can break down the house walls and structures to collect blocks like wood, bricks, stone, and other building materials used in their construction. This makes them useful for gathering resources early in survival mode.
Do abandoned houses generate in all biomes?
They generate in most standard biomes, but are more common in plains, forests, and deserts. Rare or specialized biomes may have lower spawn rates or none at all.
Can I disable abandoned house generation?
This depends on your mod loader and configuration options. Check your mod's config file or in-game settings menu for world generation toggles if you want to prevent them from spawning.
Are the four house types different in any way besides appearance?
Each house (Yellow House, Red House, Brick Building, Red Mansion) has a unique layout and interior design, though they all contain lootable chests with similar item pools. The Red Mansion is typically the largest.
Will this mod cause lag or performance issues?
The mod adds static structures to world generation, which has minimal performance impact. Performance depends more on your overall modpack and system specs than on this mod alone.
Do abandoned houses work in multiplayer servers?
Yes, the structures generate and function the same way on multiplayer servers. Each player can loot chests independently, though once looted they remain empty for everyone.
